You don’t support the message of Al Green then get out of this fight. Green did no wrong. When MTG caused a ruckus in the Biden state of the union did Kamala ask McCarthy to throw her out? No. Biden got the republicans under control and let them have their say. Republicans are bloody cowards
Democrats not standing with Al Green than you are the weak links we can’t count on right now. Stop pretending that what we have is perfectly normal. Green did the right thing
These are the 10 Dems who voted to censure Rep Al Green. I've called 5 of them to complain & will call the rest today. Please call & let them know your thoughts!
I will not forgive Jim Himes! But now I know most of the Turncoat 10 betrayers are Multi millionaires and make over $350k a year on dividends they want the tax break! Moscowitz 26 pages of $$$$$$$$$ financial statement! Jim 16 pages.
Time for them to drop out 2026!
Politics as usual is what got us here. The people saying “stop yelling at Dems and yell at the gop” are part of the problem. Playing regular politics now is for cowards. We need fire and intensity from Dems we elected! Yelling at mtg will just be wasted breath.
With the exception of a few standout players, the current iteration of the Democratic is by and large is complicit (by way of either their indifference or capitulation) with MAGA in eroding our institutions and destroying our standing in the free world. The Dems need their version of the tea party.
They just don’t get it. Al Green is a hero and he did exactly what needed to be done in that moment. All Democrats should have followed him. Green’s message would have been the only message heard for several days and it would have gotten the attention of the entire world.
Trump was in the middle of lying about Medicaid when Green started interrupting him. The rest of the Dems should have stood up with him at that point. Voting to censure him when he was calling out Trump’s lies is a disgrace and allows hypocrites like Lauren Boebert to criticize Green.
Rep. Bera seems confused, because a colleague and a friend are not the same! My real friends ride until the wheels fall off. If one fights, we all moving some furniture around!
Shame on him!! The 10 democrats that voted to censure Al Green just lost my respect and my donations!! They should have backed him up. They were probably paid by Musk.
Mr. Webb is 100% correct in his summation. It has been blatantly clear that the majority of the Democratic Party has not been listening to their voters or fighting on our behalf since the day frumpy took office. Every single democrat should have supported Rep. Green because he was speaking truth.
I used to live in Bera's district until they redrew the lines and put me in Kiley's district. I was so angry about it at the time. This is the first time I'm feeling very "Meh" about it. Bera and the rest need to stand up. Oh, and I still hate Kevin.
Yeah, we definitely do not want to draw any attention to the dismantling of our country or interrupt the GOP as they do so. That would be rude and outside of basic decorum & norms. Can’t have that ….apparently. Shame on the DEM’s.
I am so mad at my party. They are not listening to anything voters are saying. I AM TIRED OF THEIR INACTION!! I wholeheartedly approve Rep Green’s actions!!
If you want to stop the crazy shit, you HAVE to show up! Watch this Video and Repost this on every platform. Every American should be there for our country. Be an Al Green! SHOW UP!! America needs you!! If you have to, sleep in your car or camp out. Carpool. Get there!! https://youtu.be/B3ct1ckEhZs?...
Al Green was willing to accept the sacrifice because he knew it was a consequence worth taking in order for you to hear. The real problem came afterward when they censored the censure itself. When they cut off the live feed where other liberals stood hand in hand while vocally protesting the action!
Ami Bera voted with Republicans and 9 other Democrats to censure Al Green for standing up to fascism and tyranny. Green is a Profile in Courage. The others are Profiles in Cowardice. They should be ashamed of that vote for the rest of their lives!
Al Green brought attention to Medicade,it's life and death for recipients.The 15 Democrats that betrayed the Black guy, remember the Republicans 1st violated "decorum"of President Obamas,speech shouted " YOU LIE" Bidens speech,Rep Boebart & MTG shrieked.
Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social — LISTEN UP. Rep Al Green is a hero. He, AOC, & Bernie Sanders are the SOUL of our Democratic Party. Stop wasting time and GET TO WORK. WITH THEM.
“You look around — who else is doing it? No one,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said of Sanders’ efforts. “My hope is that the dam will break in terms of Democrats going on the offense … We need to take the argument directly to the people.”
Ami Bera is jealous that he didn't have the guts to do what needed to be done in the moment, but @algreen.house.gov DID!!! #Resist #BOYCOTT #Protest #MARCH #GetRemovedByTheSergeantAtArms #GetCensuredByCongress #BeAlGreen
I'll just say Rep Green stood up for people, but it didn't accomplish much. It did accomplish outing Democrats that have no party discipline, primary them.
Thank God some of these democrats weren’t around for the civil rights movement. “Unfortunately Dr. King getting arrested, has become a distraction to the party”.
No, the fuckers have taken so much money from Citizens United and the whore lobbyists that they can't work for we the people anymore. Plus they are making a killing on the Stock Market and can't give up their opulent lifestyles. They are answerable to anyone but the people who put them there.
Actually the only reason we have 75, 95 year olds holding a seat is cuz what you said I. The last part. People keep voting them in!…or not voting which is the same thing.
I don’t think you can say the DNC has ever had an issue listening to their voters. That’s not something they ever felt they’ve had to do. And now @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social knows best, apparently.
My son sent me a link to an article about Newsom’s disgraceful podcast with Kirk that was framed as how Dems are “moving to the right.” I told him rank and file Dems are NOT moving to the right and the electeds who do will get the brunt of our fury on primary day.
Hell yes! Congress members make $174,000 a year while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. We can no longer allow bureaucratic Democrats to sit quietly. We need progressives who will raise hell, fight for us, defend us and make our lives better!
I agree. But did you know that, depending on whether they are in the house or Senate, they also get $1 million-$5 million budget? Plus, they all become millionaires while they’re in office. Look it up.
Who a politician divorced after a short marriage isn't much of an issue. But the way he and his then-wife posed on the rug in the opulent surroundings (almost Trump-like) is.
Newsom is an enigma. Great policies. Foursquare support of Kamala.
Dems have caved too many times to the Republicans and allowed Trump to walk away from Jan 6th without a scratch. Grassroots are the future.
Trump is our catalyst, timing is perfect for a change. A working class party for the working class, beholden to no billionaires/corporate lobbyists.
Every democrat in Congress should have stood with him. I'm very proud of what he did. Divided we all fall. I don't understand how what crazy Marg did during President Biden speech was ok but this wasn't. I was always taught what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Guess not.
These would be Centrists calling the shots saying this is a "Distraction", fact is, it is the Billionaire Donors & Dark Money that is causing this mess, @aoc.bsky.social @algreen.house.gov & @sanders.senate.gov would understand more than Centrists to MAGA Chuds.
I used to have a WaPo subscription at the beginning of 2024 and I was always railing against "misspoke", and all the other bullshit, but mainly I wanted the representatives to get angry, get mad, and become seriously uncivil.
In the prior election, four other Democratic candidates tried to primary Bera. Let’s find the best alternative in 2026 and back them all the way to victory.
Nancy Pelosi started this "distraction" nonsense. She also backed Democrats into a corner by supporting Biden for so long. Her political judgement is poor and despite her good deeds and intentions over the years, it's time for her to leave politics.
I agree! Term limits! They stay there to make more money,Instead of retirement. They are on vacay most of the time. They vote for their own raises,have free insurance,pay for life, only show up 3 months out of the yr. We need big money out of WA.
During cheetos speech, he said he was chosen by god and 100% of Rs stood up and cheered. Some of them may not have wanted to but fear of being isolated drove them to cheer. Rep Green stood up and said no cheeto and the Ds fanned their cards. Some vigorously, but they left Rep Green isolated and
sent the message we’re not unified. If 1 person speaks up they’re an agitator, an anomaly. Everyone who sat, cheeto n the Rs know are complicit. They betrayed their “friend” and colleague. If I’m an R, wanting to do the right thing, I’m not switching teams, you’ll let one of your own stand alone.
Letting one of your colleagues stand alone in defiance is a loser move 100% of the time. Standing up isn’t without risk. If every D in the room stood and sang the national anthem or repeated the pledge, even the Rs sitting at home on the fence would have respected the Ds. But no. We look weak.
I’m asking Floridians to sign a petition to recall Rick Scott. He won’t hold town halls and won’t respond to constituents calls. I’ve called daily for a month and no one has ever answered.
It may not be constitutionally supported, but it can send a collective message.
At this point they’re just making it so obvious that they are just mad that HE had the courage to get up & do exactly what his ❤️ & passion as a civil servant compelled him to do. Haters.
Distraction? Plz work on better messaging & unity bcuz….This. Is. Not. It. 😡
Al Green's statements on the floor after he was censured drove home for me how starved we are for strong & inspiring voices. I could feel him transferring the calm power & conviction of the 1960s civil rights movement right here to us now. TX dems are battle-hardened, impressive.
The Dem's let him get run over by the REPUB's bus. THE Dems need to get off the back bench & scream bloody murder!!!
We hear the 'same old' shit - and the same pile - AL GREEN is a HERO!!! He stood alone - nice going Dems!!!
It's one thing to be lied to by Hitler 2.0, it's expected. It's a BETRAYAL to be complicit with those who are literally dismantling our freedoms. Staying in power and doing NOTHING to helps us is more important than the country and its citizens. The Democratic party is DEAD and no longer my party!
Distraction !! He is so unaware of what WE the people are saying that it is deplorable....everything Republicans are doing is a distraction and he us ok with that, traitor !
Al Green 💚 is a hero for the people !!!!
@bera.house.gov Please explain to me why the caucus “should not be a distraction?” Is this your sad & cowardly attempt to shove decorum down the throats of your constituents and all Democrats across the country who are watching democracy die and the constitution being shit on in front of our eyes?
Comments
Something to think about. With all the hate coming from the rightwing in the name of god.

That wasn’t a distraction!
It was a demonstration that we will not be overrun by lawless tyrants!
Time for them to drop out 2026!

Al Green is a necessary voice for this moment
Listen to him
Listen to us
Persist and resist together
A distraction? You are complicit asshole 🖕
I hate that he's from my state!
I enjoyed the blistering voice message that I left him!
🖕🏾 him !!!!
We only need one. Let’s find that person. 👍

It’s obvious that there a a lot of Confederate flags hidden in the closets of those members of Congress that voted for censure …
This is how friends get popped.
Primary this chickenshit phony.
We’re coming for you douchebag Ami Bera.
They know being nice is how we got NAZIS in the White House in the first place.
Asking a Nazis to leave nicely or playing fair is a joke.
They have done everything illegally & so far, it's time for us to
DO SOMETHING!
BE A DISTRACTION!
Holding up signs?
Dem leadership encourages regular folks to fight the fight. We don't have awesome healthcare. We don't have an awesome salary.
We do have fear, uncertainty, instability and the certainty of being jailed for protesting.
We're doing the necessary trouble.

Some indeed are trying to get us to a better place but I think they don’t know how to do it.
Others have been so inside the DC walls they can’t see clearly anymore.
Dems need to organize as an opposition party, like yesterday!
It's criticism of potential Dem candidates for high office, who if nominated will lose.
Newsom's troubling podcast (& photo!!) with Kirk was either an unforced error, or revealed something about Newsom we didn't know, or both. Troubling.
Newsom is an enigma. Great policies. Foursquare support of Kamala.
But regarding Kirk, has some explaining to do.
Trump is our catalyst, timing is perfect for a change. A working class party for the working class, beholden to no billionaires/corporate lobbyists.
Coward!!!
Shut the fuck up.
By the way, does anyone know who wound up with Edwardian sterling silver tea service.
Shut. I want one of our guys to punch Comer, or Tuberville in the fucking face and knock down.
I know it will never happen, but I dream about this.
Oh well.
It may not be constitutionally supported, but it can send a collective message.

Democrats are creating an environment ripe for the birth of a viable third party.
