PSA: our senator Maria Cantwell voted to move forward on the Laken Riley Act

Maria Cantwell and a bunch of other D senators voted to move forward on the bill which could “mandate the indefinite detention of a juvenile child of asylum-seekers arrested for swiping a candy bar, even if he or she didn’t do it.”

Patty Murray didn’t even bother showing up to vote.

I’m gonna let them know how I feel about this and I hope others will join me.
