One week ago we gathered on the Capitol steps in community. We shared our stories of struggle and faith. Now as we look forward, we must ask each other — “will you stand up?”

And 20 minutes after this stirring moment of oratory you voted to confirm another of Trump's ambassadors. After confirming all the murderous, incompetent slugs in his cabinet, including Hegseth and RFK Jr.
What good are you?
Why do you continue to exist and hold office?
Do you stand for anything?
Please look up 60 minutes that aired on May 4th on CBS about our attorneys standing up for our laws. Some attorneys are caving in to Trump’s threats, others are organizing to stand up! We need to join with our attorneys who help us when we need them and now they need us! Let’s stand up WITH them!
Ok so was he picking his battles all the other times he voted for the fascists picks? Some democrats won’t vote for any of them, not Booker. He gives great speeches and then acts in the exact opposite way
And that’s 4x too many. You can not give record breaking speeches about how our democracy is in peril and then go vote for the arsonist. The hypocrisy is not only mind blowing but begs the question why. And it’s simply not plausible to say he’s picking his battles. That’s absurd.
Hopefully, the Democratic Party is working alongside all the resistance organizations. There is success when we are united. There is strength in numbers, success, and more desired outcomes.
The GOP is voting on the enabling act = your words do nothing. I don't really think you guys understand how much you have lost by allowing this shitstain to steal the country again. All so you guys can remain in power.
DOGE did not touch your pay, benefits or retirement, did it?
I am 81 years old, and I will ALWAYS stand up and speak out FOR democracy. I believe that the Supreme Court gave him too much power, and the Republicans are complicit by allowing this to happen.
We need you, man. I’m in Maryland. You’re my hero. Would love to come down to DC and shake your hand and say thank you for standing up for us! What you did on the Senate floor!
#Booker2028 because he has the strength and character we need!
Thanks for standing up. But why did you vote for no fewer that seven of 47's nominees? This includes the recent nominee and confirmation of Purdue for U.S. Ambassador to China.
Please provide an explanation for the Purdue vote. The day after you shared passionately Bishop Barber and two others were arrested for simply praying in the Capitol Rotunda. They returned today to continue this each Monday going forward.
Umm… Sending Judges to Alcatraz now!?!?! I really hope more people stand up! Many people don’t know where to start. One idea is to print out protest and rally posters or resource links with names, numbers, webpages etc and tape them to mailboxes all over the city.
If Alcatraz is revamped as a prison, could it be used to incarcerate the legions of Trump’s Cabal who worked so hard to destroy democracy and kill the US Constitution? Would Stephen Miller attempt to swim to Fisherman’s Wharf with the portly Trump on his back? 🤔
Highly doubt pee wee German can even swim. I don’t care too much about which prison they get to attend, as long as they got due process from a real judge that honors their oath to the constitution.
Impeach the felon or just shut up. All the democrats are doing is talk and helping republicans confirm the felons sadists. While the republicans run the constitution through the shredder. Start lobbying your colleagues and quit preaching to the choir.
We are standing, what about your colleagues? I'm tired of Dems in power being caught flatfooted. Be proactive. This is all a foregone conclusion, 🍊 told us well in advance.
Standing up and doing something is great. But how about we try sitting down and doing nothing? Let's bring this country to a screeching halt and show who holds the power. We, the people hold the power! It's time for a nationwide strike. Now.
Hire private security like the republicans are for their townhalls and go and remove Doge kids from federal buildings. Maybe demand your fellow senators don't yea nominees. Demand dated congress members to resign. Stop senate business. Otherwise fuck off we didn't need another TikTok moment dems.
You need to start helping The People disrupt. Yes, you did your 24 hour speech and sat on the steps for 12, but neither of those disrupted anything. They were neatly timed not to disrupt. It’s like the Dems are trying to make us believe they are fighting for us when they’re not. Is it just theater?
Experts say we need 3.5% of our population protesting every day to stop Trump. That’s called a civil uprising. It has to be every single day before or after work. Protesting must be our second full-time job.

Your good trouble...
Enough talk. Enough sitting. Enough!
IMPEACH
Will you stand up? Obviously not, you're all talk, no action.
Time to do your job
We want you all to stand up by voting down and filibustering stuff coming from the House.
How do you want us to stand up?
