let’s look back at what has happened so far
Cory Booker giving a 25 hour speech: everyone loved it, raised his profile
Van Hollen flies to El Salvador and meets Abrego Garcia: everyone loved it, raised his profile
Schumer publicly caved: everyone hated that
just a general note to Dems

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

I could go on for a while here, hopefully some elected officials get the point
Make their team take note.
Meanwhile, plans continue and Mayday on the Mall is going to be here soon!
All summer. Come out. Impeach and remove is the only non-violent answer.

oh no
oh no no no
I am looking forward to see what we can do here in Virginia this year and how that could help set the tone nationally
I would be less irritated with Schumer if he had
Not said one thing Wednesday and reversed himself the very next day
Showed indifference to House Ds
Been intransigent
He did face a hard choice
But made it worse
cannot fully express how glad I am that this theory is eating total shit
Micah, when have you ever seen an elected Democrat get the point?
Or any Democrat for that matter.

Join us in protest at every state capitol, city hall, and town hall across this nation.
We did great the first time! We MUST to do even better this time! We WILL resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
He certainly knows fashism, but is obviously unwilling to risk his cushy position on fighting it.
"Do things we like."
"Not like that."
But I appreciate Senator Van Hollen doing something! #bringthemHome
I too want the empty rhetoric and fluff rallies to END
Enough!
Time for Congress to get back to the US Capitol and get things DONE, time for ACTION
Which speaks infinitely louder than words!
#fight
#saveprograms
@housedemocrats.bsky.social
the rest will sort itself out
imho
We have good politicians. We do. There's hope at the end of the rainbow, but We have to wait until the storm clears to see it.
-Many well-attended rallies in traditionally conservative states/cities by @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social ?
Jasmine Crockett would be a great replacement for Cornyn! Anybody is better than Cruz!!
🤬🤬🤬🤬
I’m ok with Booker and Van Hollen. It’s better than caving and sitting quietly, waiting for your turn at the till.
The world at large:
Wish someone would tell this to my disgrace of a governor, Newsom.
Because Newsome was never left wing.
To physically do something and he did. You are criticizing him for that?
anyone else (other than fetterman) would do
media stunts simply don't play out in reality like they do in your mind
If you fight, you may change minds
It may help get those non voters off the couch and stop the Dem Party from catering to Republicans.

Vance is smart and somehow less small-d democratic than Trump
Sarkozy overspent by a couple of percent and is in jail.
The Supreme Court could have prevented a lot of this with one decision alone.
Remember when a few Senators went to investigate DOGE and a private rent-a-cop with no authority told them to stop? They should have just pushed through
We are REWARDING the behavior we want our electeds to take!!!
$5 from a 100k+ people goes a long way...

we need to see solid polling on where "keep americans out of trump-run foreign concentration camps" puts us in terms of voter sentiment
1) He’s not coming home till he knows kilmar is alive
2) that man is definitely running for president
Courage begets courage.
Do standout stuff— become a standout.
Walz was convinced by Dem consultants to moderate during the VP debate and played nice with a lying fascist asshole. The campaign lost all momentum.
Fight, dummies
What Van Hollen did was he answered a needed call. Maybe a larger co-del is needed. Chris is a true leader, and I’m proud he was my senator.
Pretty simple. You get rewarded for what you DO.
Judge Wilkinson of the 4th Circuit in his ruling today.
Should raise his profile, too.

But when you’re a wimp AND you presume to call yourself a leader? That’s utterly pathetic. You insult your constituents, and you insult our democracy. Grow a spine or step aside for someone who has one
When you do bad things, people don't like that.
It's very simple, I reckon.
They are standing up for us! Raising profiles is not the priority. If this is what you’re pushing, there’s a little platform called X that is for people who want division from within, we don’t.

harvard: hero of the common man
Columbia also going against their own history lol, didn't Hamilton go to Columbia?
We are facing fascism on multiple fronts, even in places like Canada. As valid as the argument is, I don't think now is really the time.

Truly a losing proposition.
