      I don’t want this government reopened until Trump has been removed from office, personally. I hope mutual aid networks are able to support people who need nutrition housing and healthcare insurance and support good government workers, but giving a budget to the administration of Donald Trump can not happen, it will only be used to cause further suffering.

        Totally get the sentiment “let Trump’s government stay shut down to limit the harm it does”, but remember they don’t actually follow the rules. This article is a prime example! They’ll fund the military, ICE, pretty much any authority with a gun. Trump will still get his ballroom, Kisti Noem her multiple luxury jets, etc. Meanwhile food safety standards will plummet, support to disadvantaged people will dry up, and people will suffer. Just not the Republicans that caused this shutdown…
