Celebrities urged President Donald Trump to resign as commander in chief following the news of the government shutdown.

Stars including George Takei, Bette Midler, Kathy Griffin, Chris Evans and Mark Hamill called on Trump to step down after the conflict over the controversial border wall and its funding.

Takei urged followers to join the resistance bandwagon:

Griffin posted a photo of herself with Trump and referenced her infamous beheading snap, writing, "#ResignTrump Just f—king resign, because this photo is far worse than that OTHER photo."

Meanwhile, "Captain America" star Evans took Trump to task over the resignation of Gen. Jim Mattis as Secretary of Defense:
