This is who will be staring that monster down tomorrow night.

Community organizer Ana Maria Archila, who memorably confronted Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) on an elevator over the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh has been invited to the speech by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

“You’re telling me that my assault doesn’t matter, that what happened to me doesn’t matter, and that you’re going to let people who do these things into power,” Archila said, demanding the Republican senator look her in the eye.

Doing Trump’s bidding, Flake voted for the nominee despite the credible allegations of sexual assault against him. Trump, who is a sexual predator, hailed the nomination and considers the installation of Kavanaugh onto the court as one his major achievements.

Sandra Diaz, an undocumented immigrant from Costa Rica who worked as a housekeeper at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, will be in attendance. Diaz was invited by Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-CA).

“She is living proof that President Trump couldn’t be more wrong —both morally and factually — when he demonizes those who come to America seeking a better life,” said Gomez in a press release. Attacking immigrants has been one of the core elements of Trump’s political identity for years. He has done so to pander to racists within the Republican Party’s base of voters.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has invited Regina Moller, who heads Noank Community Support Services, as his guest. Moller’s organization has helped provide services for the children affected by Trump’s racist immigration policies like child separation, and also gave support to families affected by the unnecessary government shutdown.

Cameron Kasky, one of the students who survived the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida, will attend the speech after being invited by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA).

Kasky is one of the co-founders of the gun violence prevention group Never Again MSD and helped to organize the massive March for Our Lives nationwide protest.

Quite a few more at the link. I hope they stand up and stare him down.
