Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

Musk steals from his own 501c3 Musk Foundation giving the charitable proceeds to his other entities. NY closed down Donald Trump’s fraud foundation for same style of fraud.

Unless, of course, you are blind or low vision, and can't use a screen reader to understand or experience that blob of words you just skeeted.
USE ALT TEXT.
FWIW, I'm hoping that resolution would generate attention within the party and (hopefully?) in the news.

They gave up because someone threatened Chuck Schumer's lager intake. Spineless.

The Laken Riley act was passed with the Democrats' help.
A despairing remark DOES NOT HELP
THEY CAN DO MORE AND THEY KNOW IT.
Shhhhhhhhh.

So far, journalists have been interviewing People but not showing their faces.
The old and the young!
Is there *anyone* in charge of the Democratic response to the skipping dipshit and orange felon's destruction of America and our democracy?
*Anyone at all*?
Name names, please

Others to amplify?
He’s great!!
This is no time to be hiding under a blanket because you didn't stand up for democracy when you most needed to.
Corporate Media purposely hid the news from us.

Without the media, they may as well scream into the void.
Why aren't you badgering the media to cover this like they covered 9/11?
I just don't know how we get out from under the assholes who own everything.

Did my point go over your head?
This whole middle 1/3 is totally unaware of the extent of the corruption.
We should be demanding the show unedited interaction with trump where he has no idea what is going on and sounding the alarm.
Even when they do it outside.
This is 💯 a good idea
Journos are being run ragged. They have no time to think much less dig in deeply on any one thing. So anything folks can do to *serve up* all this info to them will get through. They will report on it

So, just eggs and bipartisanship until everything collapses...
The inaction in the Democratic Party is INTENTIONAL.
It’s NOT ACCIDENTAL.
Please stop expecting action to come from Democratic party leaders.
"I'm blocking every fucking military promotion single-handedly for a year. Just cos///" ~ Tommy Tuberville
I was certain that Hakeem Jeffries is exactly the same as Tommy Tuberville in all respects, including height, weight, and their passion to obstruct the White House.
Either way, Jeffries responses seem pretty clearly a “their monkeys their circus” strategy. I’m not saying that’s enough. I’m saying you need to be realistic.
- Did you vote for Trump, sir?
- no, I did not
- Did you vote for Elon, sir?
- no, I did not
- will you reduce the rent?
- I can't
- will you evict the victims?
- I can't
- will you default on your loan?
- I can't
Quick question... why are you using your platform to do this when you could be using it to amplify the stories of these people?
We lose the social media war because we complain instead of reinforcing the message that we care about people and Republicans don't.
There have been press conferences. They barely get covered.
You know why? You have to say something incendiary and outrageous for the press to cover it in numbers, and we don't do that nor should we.

Or are you aware and just purposely trying to undermine them when we should be rallying behind them?
It’s one or the other. Which is it, Helen?

Time for Democratic Party to reach out to Your allies around the world.
Show joint press conferences with Canada, Mexico, the EU, the UK and others with whom you want to cooperate on peace & trade i.a.
A bonus is that DonaldTrump will go crazy !
Hey Dems who voted for Trump, stayed home, or chose 'anybody but Harris'—ENJOY THE PARTY!
West Point.
The Republicans have the votes, a condition known to cause blindness and loss of backbone.
Schumer and Jeffries should be removed and replaced by Chris Murphy and AOC.
Depicting them as merely loving each other though... that's just homophobia
Supporting GRSM rights, only while it's profitable, isn't supporting GRSM rights.
Why don't you get this outraged at Republicans kicking trans people out of the military?
They’re racist too. If I made a joke about them acting too “urban”, would you make excuses for me?

Inflation?
You’re not worried about our country being a dictatorship?
Are you on the payroll of musk?
You need to be concerned about what’s happening in D.C. right under your nose.
Don’t bother to speak again until you get your priorities straight!
Hopefully they can get their sh** together 😏
This is not a drill folks!
Or maybe the media just isn’t covering it. And our Democrats are.
oh right
Do you ever wonder why the referees don’t call fouls on the Harlem Globetrotters when they break the rules of basketball?

MAKE THIS AN OUTRAGE!
Make DOGE, the unconstitutional hacking firing squad AN OUTRAGE!
Make billionaires taking over the government AN OUTRAGE!
Make a lawless, unaccountable tyrant president AN OUTRAGE!
@amyklobuchar.com
Make them look weak, servile, and paint with a wide brush.
See? Easy
All people had to do was vote, but they just expect to be saved from themselves at this point.
Any half-decent primary winner would have defeated Trump.

Insane
Kamala has deserted us, Biden, Obama et al have decided to sit this fight out apparently, Bill and Hilary AWOL.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are useless
Hope now lies with the @aoc.bsky.social and the @repjasmine.bsky.social of the Democratic party.
They understand only one thing, fear.
And right now they don't fear the American people.
We must put the fear back in them.
And we do that by an over whelming response.
#NationwideStrike
#ShutItDown completely, even if it hurts us.
If I did, I would.
That will require someone with National reach, I do what I can here in my little neck of the woods.
Then what?

This fight is up to those who can get around without a walker.
You may want to reread it, because that is exactly what I said.
p.s. Obama is hardly "Geriatric ex politician"
Also, I am old and get around fine without a fucking walker.
...
The Democratic National Committee, meanwhile, started a rapid response account in January with about 121,000 followers, a fraction of DOGE’s reach.
