leeniegeek.bsky.social•24 days ago

excellent suggestions. mahalo to my Senator Schatz for doing one thing @schatz.bsky.social Looks like much more can be done at least to muck up the works. @hirono.senate.gov, you there, too? I don't see Senator Schumer on bluesky. or my Congressperson ed case. time for phone calls.

Jenn, I think it's time for you and other pundits to relinquish your faith in the DNC and turn your wits to promoting revolution. We are beyond politics at this point.

I told all of my reps to take a page out of McConnells playbook.

Why aren’t the Republicans who are so worried about government intervention in their lives not worried/concerned about access to all of their private data, including businesses that receive government contracts, etc. Framing it as only a D issue isn’t going to do anything.

slindquist.bsky.social•24 days ago

Several MAGAs were questioned about this today in the Senate hallway. They said they saw no problem with any of it. So it appears to be only a Dem issue.

dsm1132.bsky.social•24 days ago

Maybe they think that Musk will only use the data he has stolen to punish Democrats and would never harm Republicans.

veralves.bsky.social•24 days ago

Agreed .. shut it all down with the means they have left ..

beard92.bsky.social•24 days ago

If you are talking about msm like msnbc they have lost all of their credibility. So what media are you referring to?

cntrydncr.bsky.social•24 days ago

All mainstream media

I’ve heard alot of talk about what we’re going to do but no results!

Democrats in Congress seem more concerned with keeping their jobs in the futures - rather than DOING their jobs now
Beyond disappointed and disgusted

greenvermont.bsky.social•24 days ago

Absolutely! Urgently! But which Senator is gonna do it?
P.S. please not Shumer!

Business 101 - No American Company would survive loosing this much corporate competency. Good CEO’s know the value of Core Competencies. Leon Muskrat is Ultra “Corporate Raider- A financier who makes hostile takeover bids for companies, to control their policies or to resell for profit.

We need an opposing plan to counter Project 2025. Should reflect coherent, measured, stiff, resourced actions & outcomes. Proactive rather than merely reactive. Leverage "cancel culture economics". Extra credit homework: make robust plan in 24hrs as if crisis. Include Liz. / GOP allies. #aroused

pgb623.bsky.social•24 days ago

You mean the Dems need to fight like the GOP did denying a Black President the tiniest accomplishment?

In the face of a coup, the Dems can’t seem to match the almost casual racist energy of the 2009-2017 GOP.

They literally haven’t done squat

citizenoversight.bsky.social•23 days ago

Democrats are checkmated, it’s obvious. They can scream from the Capitol dome. It’s too late. What will they do when they are physically removed from the Capitol? Law enforcement and Judiciary are MIA. Corporate leaders MIA. A total hostile takeover with no resistance. What should we call US now?

professorlaz.bsky.social•24 days ago

They won't

kathyposey.bsky.social•23 days ago

Arrest Musk and his minions now!!! Our house is on fire!!! 🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥

sarahroller.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes. Senate Democrats should refuse to be enablers and do everything they can to impede the lawless autocratic regime

leahcat1197.bsky.social•24 days ago

Throw wrenches, literal and figurative. 🔧🔧🔧

steveknapp.bsky.social•24 days ago

They should, but Dems love doing government and be responsible.

weezles1.bsky.social•24 days ago

For real, Democrats need to follow the Mitch Mcconnell playbook of obstruction, deny, delay, defend, to the letter. They can't afford to "be nice" or any of that nonsense. Gloves have been off for a long while now and they need to get off the mat and actually start fighting...

faith53.bsky.social•24 days ago

Why won't they cover this?
Are they afraid?

highestbitter.bsky.social•24 days ago

Our turn to go on the offense: Contact your Reps in the Senate and House! Call their DC AND local offices. HARANGUE REPUBLICANS mercilessly. Blow up Mike Johnson & Thune’s phones. RAISE SOME CAIN! Follow orgs like Women Forward & Indivisible, Democracy Forward. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us

Sending personal messages to Sens and calling "til I am blue in the face."
Oh gee, they've been on recess... absurd.

Giving access to SSN’s & other personal data of government employees to non-employees is a violation of USC 552a & carries a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed.

Why aren’t the federal employees reaching out to their union to sue Musk for all that he is worth?

Musk broke the law.

njalondon.bsky.social•24 days ago

They're too busy voting for trump's nominees to deal with this right now.

skylarkv.bsky.social•24 days ago

Future students of history will ask, nonplussed, "Why didn't Americans try to stop this coup?"

cntrydncr.bsky.social•24 days ago

Sitting on their hands talking about illegalities just ain't going to cut it

natersk8r.bsky.social•24 days ago

They're using appeasement and an incessant need to act bipartisan to great effect so far. SMH

rebeccaamccoy.bsky.social•24 days ago

We need more democrats showing up with cameras to protest the takeover by musk’s hackers.

slowhand1971.bsky.social•24 days ago

Go back and copy Mitch McConnell's playbook during the Obama administration. That's how you obstruct and delay and should be the Dems' model going forward.

bemoangamble.bsky.social•24 days ago

Indeed. But, they also need to tell many of their financial campaign backers, who also subsidize Republicans in Congress, to let them use all the tools available to them. These financial campaign backers are holding Democrats back right now.

billharder.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thank you, Jennifer. The house is on fire but there’s no panic. Dems, drop the manners and call the Rs out as complicit liars and cowards. If you don’t want to do that, you’re the complicit cowards.
