MLKing told us to not worry about what is easy, polite or politic, but to do what is right. And he did.

Damn, good speech

The #Democrats need new leadership right now!!!

techymeout.bsky.social•40 days ago

I think we need to remove speaker Jefferies and replace him with Jasmine Crockett.

therealtheoden.bsky.social•40 days ago

We need more women in Congress, period. Women of color especially!

@algreen.house.gov I personally apologize for my rep, @houlahan.house.gov 🤬😭 and her vote to censure you. She's proven herself to be a spineless Nazi enabler‼️ She doesn't deserve to be in the same room as you Rep. Al Green - you are my HERO 💗

boomerfsj.bsky.social•40 days ago

I fully agree. This angers me and I am not an easy guy to anger over politics. Yet, this shows a complete lack of understanding of the current attack against the American people and democracy. If Democrats are this clueless then we are doomed!

resistnm.bsky.social•40 days ago

Also, 10 dems sided with GOP. Here’s the list:
Bera (CA)

Al Green is a great man in my book and can say whatever he pleases whenever he pleases. John Lewis would be proud. Good trouble.

mkinva.bsky.social•40 days ago

Republicans in the House were joined by 10 Democrats in censuring a black man for NOT KNOWING HIS PLACE. For daring to stand up and speak truth. For not sitting in the back of the bus.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social

dedegold.bsky.social•40 days ago

Stand with #AlGreen

danadoesdemocracy.bsky.social•40 days ago

Rep Al Green is a fucking hero in the Democratic Party.

Democratic Leadership should take some fighting lessons from Al Green! 🥊🥊🥊

philiphenika.bsky.social•40 days ago

The Republicans are afraid of town meetings so they are advised not to show up for them. The Republicans are afraid of words like fetus so they censor. The Republicans are afraid of books so they ban them. The Republicans are afraid of Green so they censure him. The Republicans are afraid of Trump.

CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD

Democrats have zero continuity or cohesiveness while republicans rip our country to shreds

klashkha0tic.bsky.social•40 days ago

10 Democrats voted against him. I didn't support disruption of the meeting by any blk official cuz we don't have protection. Some of those others should have had the balls to do it. Leaving an old man to standup 4 the whole nation Cowards. I advocate for blk Am& elected officials to switch 3rd party

There’s a good man in good trouble.

herddeep.bsky.social•40 days ago

What I'd give to have an elected official like him representing my district.

#GoodTrouble or JUST FACTS?

Both can be true.

danadoesdemocracy.bsky.social•40 days ago

Rep Al Green is a fucking hero in the Democratic Party.

spillingchai.bsky.social•40 days ago

Did anybody censor Margarine and Boebert when they heckl3d Biden?
Democrats are morons

mkinva.bsky.social•40 days ago

Nope

godschile.bsky.social•40 days ago

And, to add insult to injury, 10 Dems voted with the GOPutin….😑

butterfly-phenix25.bsky.social•40 days ago

I'm alone. Every fact checkable truth I post goes ignored. If anyone sees me, read my pinned post and try to help our military members.

Thank you

tomunculus.bsky.social•40 days ago

Fuck the Democrats who voted in favour. It doesn't matter if it would have passed without their votes. They had an opportunity to show unity, support, and solidarity, and all they showed was who they really are.
