esmewrites.bsky.social•27 days ago

a sit-in may be next step to getting message heard

kcghostwriter.bsky.social•26 days ago

They ARE cowards. Only cowards need to stifle dissent.

Well done 👏👏👏 keep going guys!!

bullbearjeff.bsky.social•26 days ago

Great job students 👏

itautra.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is great, but this should as well be tens or hundred thousands in the street in protests. Fabulous youths!!

dadaman.bsky.social•27 days ago

Where is the outrage? Too many fools busy congratulating the Orange Bozo Bufoon

itautra.bsky.social•27 days ago

Too comfortably numb to go out in the streets? I hope people will, because that's how you can raise your voice as a crowd.

mamanaya.bsky.social•27 days ago

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Tell’em Soph! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🫶🏽

fpatrick.bsky.social•26 days ago

If that’s the students’ response, then they’ve been served well by their public education.

stargazer400.bsky.social•27 days ago

Thank you, students!!!

technausea.bsky.social•26 days ago

Like every good maga, they run away when confronted

thedogknows.bsky.social•26 days ago

This is your American leadership now. Too soft to do anything real. Too thin-skinned to take even the lightest crticism.

And unfortunately too powerful to feel like thwy have to listen to any (even slightly marginalized) group that they feel is lecturing them.

And they’re fuking stupid to boot.

castillomc911.bsky.social•27 days ago

They just proved her right ✅ 🤣

emchitty.bsky.social•27 days ago

Go students! How pathetic that GOP lawmakers can't face criticism. And don't care about the deaths of children. We've gone into the looking glass.

acpickett.bsky.social•27 days ago

They didn’t slip…those cowards RAN FOR THE DOOR.

Holy fuck. Just pathetic.

yadshef.bsky.social•27 days ago

These students are our future! GOP lawmakers i hoping is the PAST. The GOP is a disgrace to nation.

furmom.bsky.social•27 days ago

The youngers just might be the ones to save us! Shades of the college protests in the 60'/70's. That was how changes where made. Now that they have been taken away, the fight will simply pick-up where it left off. We shall overcome!

tommythepirate.bsky.social•26 days ago

Call it a win you got them on the run congrads.

tracella.bsky.social•27 days ago

They Ran Off?!!

tn-jed.bsky.social•27 days ago

They are all fucking cowards.

poofer.bsky.social•27 days ago

Excellent 👍

barthdwelchii.bsky.social•27 days ago

It's time to start following them through doors people. Don't let them hide anymore. Accountability time. We have numbers.

decompositions1974.bsky.social•26 days ago

Keep holding them accountable!

techychik.bsky.social•27 days ago

My goodness.... they're almost as fast as Hawley

oakidoaki.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm calling that a low blow! Love it❤️🥰❤️

techychik.bsky.social•27 days ago

When they go low, we gotta go LOWER.

If they're counting on me to lose the race to the bottom: I'll be sitting there at the bottom with my feet up & stale popcorn by the time they get those laces tied.

Keep up the fight!! Them running means it’s working

bluemckaren.bsky.social•26 days ago

Keep it going Tennessee!! Yes to the students!!

birdgurl.bsky.social•27 days ago

Republicans are the weakest men of them all.

stanleybravo.bsky.social•27 days ago

Hell yeah

kblake-atx.bsky.social•27 days ago

Love to see this. We need our young people to stand up and do what us old people apparently can’t.

zacamesasix.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is the energy and activism we need. Paying attention Dem leadership?

edchavez.dev•27 days ago

Well, after all that's happened, a couple of months back, they decided on what cake they'll eat too...

Looks like "egg prices" ruled them all...
🍽️🍰

No excuses...

rudedawg.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm so tired of this bullshit about eggs. Way to dumb it down and make it so simple because Democrats suck at getting their message across. It wasn't just eggs, but that would take a little effort to discern, but just blaming it all on eggs makes them seem dumber. Good luck in the Midterms.

edchavez.dev•27 days ago

Eggs are dumb. But to blame Democrats' messaging is dumber. Exactly what messaging did you want or expect?

Felon/adjudicated rapist vs former AG wasn't enough? "Concepts of a plan" needed a rebuke?

In a rockstar economy, everyone took the dumb eggs argument.

hucklepuck-chuck.bsky.social•26 days ago

Most people think the comments on eggs are to point out GOP hypocrisy. Apparently some are literal readers. It's hard to discern on social media because for some to make their point, they look past satire.

rudedawg.bsky.social•26 days ago

It's gone way past satire, so much that people actually think it was the price of eggs and nothing else.

edchavez.dev•26 days ago

Absolutely nobody thought that. But everybody bought into it. I think you did too, since you seem to be talking about the economy which is what "more than that" really means (?).

Here's a good/fair read of it
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/19/charting-the-biden-econom,y-deeply-unpopular-despite-growth-and-jobs.html

rudedawg.bsky.social•27 days ago

Trying to win some of those voters back by constantly making them seem like a bunch of uninformed single issue voters. This is why we have Trump. Democrats have no clue how to relate to younger working class voters.

edchavez.dev•27 days ago

Win what voters? Yes, they are in fact uninformed. That is the sad painful fact.

That's why the "dumb eggs" worked. Pick a painful spot, offer some concepts of plan for something better.

The "details" are "boring" and more than 3 or 4 words. "MAGA" will do just fine.

edchavez.dev•27 days ago

No. It's not because Democrats can't "relate to young voters".

Don't blame the GOP either.

I wouldn't even blame Trump.

The rest of the world knows it's not.

willowkimura.bsky.social•27 days ago

Really? Harris and Walz talked down to young voters?

alexauermann.bsky.social•26 days ago

What is Trump’s appeal to young voters?

doomhamm.bsky.social•27 days ago

That chart just says economy and jobs. Does anyone still beleive the Republicans are the party of jobs growth? Regardless, most high-school kids can't vote anyway. Not much use blaming children for the results of the last election.

rockdude2024.bsky.social•26 days ago

They will be the next dems once this stupid Regime is overthrown! Because the dems we have now are fucking weak!!

buggcghee.bsky.social•27 days ago

Super proud of these kids

jonathanmlewis.bsky.social•27 days ago

Good thing they have that secret escape hatch in order to slither away.

rnmomof5.bsky.social•27 days ago

What you want them to listen to you and work for you??? Are you nuts?!!

rebogart.bsky.social•27 days ago

God I love students when they raise hell with a bunch of bigots. Takes my breath away…

playfulpanthress.bsky.social•27 days ago

Well done, young people!! They got scared by a bunch of people young enough to be their children. Because you are correct. Please stay strong. We need your leadership.

judyblue007.bsky.social•27 days ago

Go students!

chenytorrales.bsky.social•27 days ago

Cowards. They should all lose their job.

This is great!!!!! Students calling out lawmakers…..making them run for the exits…..cowards

quincedad.bsky.social•26 days ago

Much, much more of this. Embarrass them all with what they have done or what they support.

paulapooh.bsky.social•27 days ago

Sooo, sooo, excellent!...on tape running away after ignoring what looks like constituents (she was surprised they didn't remember her, obviously a prior encounter/conversation) wanting to ask more / follow up
Fucking cowards and tremendous kudos to the students ⭐👍🏆🫶
Go!

Can the democrats bring the 25th amendment to the floor? I believe many rep are worried about being reelected / folks at home are so pissed. All it would take is a mental health exam.

randomjoh.bsky.social•26 days ago

If the shooters were in the government buildings instead of the schools, there would be an emergency session and change overnight. (Not that I would ever want anyone shot, anywhere.) Some people only care when it happens to them.

seamiracles.bsky.social•26 days ago

But even GOP members who ran and hid and feared for their lives in the capitol on j6, later pretended it was a patriotic day w tourists calmly roaming the building. Craven ghouls.

randomjoh.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yeah, that's a mob of their constituents. I'm talking about a random person like we're dealing with in schools and public places.

tylean5.bsky.social•27 days ago

Cowards.

TN GOP legislators are literally the cesspool they claim to be fighting against. At least one confirmed pedo got re-elected, another urinated on furniture for revenge, & countless other examples of financial fraud, DUI, etc.

Faison & Lamberth are two of the worst representing this state. They are unserious politicians and there are too many like them right now.

eric-hainline.bsky.social•26 days ago

They’re correct. Those people are cowards. They sought and fought off challengers in order to hold positions of leadership. Well, leadership does not equate to ‘cut and run’ in the face of those you are charged with serving and leading.
