it may take a little longer to reach critical mass. But the "band aid" does need to be ripped off so we can see the extent of our wound and start repairing it (in earnest).

Hey ivory tower krewe WE are in the streets.

cleodogseriously.bsky.social•4 days ago

Don't even need to hear this. Why aren't we in the streets?! Because we are lazy. Because we are too busy watching The Housewives...

Our Holocaust is coming.

cloudydays9.bsky.social•3 days ago

We will when the Press starts reporting accurately about Trump destroying democracy. That means no sugar coating. Calling a lie a lie and not saying misrepresenting the facts instead. Press did both sides do it for so long and did not show the differences between candidates/parties. Do your job.

rocknrollghost.bsky.social•3 days ago

Aren't people in the streets? Come on...

thomm53.bsky.social•4 days ago

Damn good question.

trex9123.bsky.social•4 days ago

Again, what's remarkable is that its the normal, non-MAGA conservatives like Sykes who are most alarmed by what we are seeing. The so-called progressives, with a few exceptions like @aoc.bsky.social , and just wringing their hands.

trex9123.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is a really good question, as S.Ct sits on the administrative stay it issued almost a week ago that allows Trump to illegally withhold USAID spending, likely endangering the lives of millions of the world's poorest people.

lz000.bsky.social•4 days ago

How about the fact that you and your husband spent the past decade both siding every issue?

jp063.bsky.social•4 days ago

A compelling case can be made from the attached media that The Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) has been compromised by an adversarial entity for over a decade.

Significant self-inflicted wounds emanating from the same source.

I want to be in the street but not able to travel to big city (chicago). Why aren't dnc organizers going into every single county. Plan a hand to hand across America's kind of thing.

darwindepardieu.bsky.social•4 days ago

I am. Are you?

mrsolsen.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m in the streets. Are you, Susan?

wholland.bsky.social•4 days ago

We are in the streets.

mynahleague.bsky.social•3 days ago

Media first, I want to see journalists out front and marching to save our democracy, because they write about it everyday, yet want other people to march and protest on their behalf.

housebitchtim.bsky.social•3 days ago

Honestly, I don't think any of it sunk in yet. Wait until Nannies & Gardeners & roofers & contractors & food servers & field workers are rounded up. Mom has to move back in with kids. Vets can't get care. Tarrifs kick in. 401ks Tank. Maybe THEN?

pearl4yourthoughts.bsky.social•4 days ago

Are you in the streets Susan Glasser? Are you organizing?

elusiveapricity.bsky.social•4 days ago

After normalizing Trump for years, Glasser and her husband Peter Baker of the NYT, ask "why aren't we in the streets?"

yvonne-peonies.bsky.social•4 days ago

We are in streets protesting! I need my 4 legislators in Idaho to quit slavishly following tRump. It's crickets from them. Emails no response. VMs no response!

lainie1001.bsky.social•4 days ago

We’re not out in the streets because we have to work and can’t afford to be fired because you know, cost of living and keeping our health insurance. But all of you with big bank accounts and enough money to be out in the streets should definitely be out there

johnnynovio.bsky.social•4 days ago

All of the damage hasn't hit everyone, Trump's actions are nibbling around the edges once more people are impacted, the streets and public places will be filled.

cwirtz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cut cell phone service.

mwilk19.bsky.social•4 days ago

Probably because the news media has been normalizing everything Trump has done for the last 10 years.

suanish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cause the kids are entitled and lazy that’s why. They are also disengaged. My peers are in the streets but we’re over 65 and national media ignores us. And anyway as Frank Zappa would say … Kansas.

dokterrudi.bsky.social•4 days ago

The kids are not alright

suanish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Seems to be the case

ne1970.bsky.social•3 days ago

We are the Vietnam generation. We’re rebellious. Bring back the draft and they’ll see how fast people will take to the streets again.

suanish.bsky.social•3 days ago

I know, right? That’s why there’s no draft. They figured that out. A compliant population.

historygeek203.bsky.social•4 days ago

When people are in the streets, why isn't mainstream media covering it?

jfkliev.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’ll be in the streets with some friends this afternoon

steve-c-kc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Too cold!!!!

keywester1.bsky.social•4 days ago

Some of us have been!

funydiva.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why aren't democrats pushing back? Boycott the State of the Union tonight, if that happens, then we'll know you're trying. Then "I " will go to the streets.
✌️🇬🇧

dokterrudi.bsky.social•4 days ago

A lot of democrats are just wearing different color hats, they are part of the same disgusting machine of money. It’s going to get ugly I’m afraid.

huac87.bsky.social•4 days ago

Presumably because half the adult public read reporting from people like her husband, Peter Baker, which severely undersells the situation. To the point you’d be a fool tp assume it’s not a deliberate attempt by the times to sanewash

dokterrudi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yep

lizajune.bsky.social•4 days ago

Everyone should be reading https://doomsdayscenario.co & other country’s media to understand the magnitude of the issue. US ppl are so propagandized & let’s face it we’re a stupid anti-intellectual country so anything too difficult to appeal to the TikTok brain doesn’t break through.

gabemacbksysocial.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because we are on social media instead?

alicethewonderdog.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because, to paraphrase Radiofree Tom Americans have become soft and lazy and won’t do anything unless it affects them directly.

lowslowsteady.bsky.social•4 days ago

We need marching orders. We are ready!!!!

longislandtonv.bsky.social•4 days ago

Did you not watch @maddow.msnbc.com last night? She showed that people are most definitely in the streets all across the country.

melmay60.bsky.social•4 days ago

A lot of us small people are trying to figure out best way to go big and impactful, in terms of taking to the streets. Looking to Dem leadership, not hearing about major actions. Little bursts here and there=not nothing, but laughable to the right. Need big action in red areas!

lindybeeb.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why isn't she? I'm so tired of this. Lead by example, don't preach to us to do more. We're not the ones with the national platform.

callas4ever.bsky.social•4 days ago

Because or current and prior dem leaders are not there.

laney502.bsky.social•4 days ago

Thanks Charlie.
I think we suggest the politicians lead us into the streets, starting with a walk out tonight. Put a Photo of Trump and Putin in your chair, and walk out when the Fascist Furor Opens his Trap!
This is an excellent suggestion from @gregolear.bsky.social:

atticusorbust.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not for long.

psychicmilou.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have been asking the same question.

irvineghost20.bsky.social•4 days ago

We ARE in the streets, there just aren't enough of us yet. Maybe Glasser herself could join a protest? I highly doubt she has attended a single one https://bsky.app/profile/antongerashchenko.bsky.social/post/3lji7ytq7xk23

starglobal.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump came to lie, insults Democrats, humiliate Biden, and Name Called Elizabeth Warren While The Democrats Just Sat And Absorbed It All. They Came To A Fight With A POST IT NOTE!. It Would Have Been A Good Thing If One Democratic Lawmaker Shouted LIAR LIAR Every Time He Told A Lie Last Night.

snowmein.bsky.social•4 days ago

We shouldn’t leave this to the kids. The protests should be broad based.

angeleyesnyc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why aren't we in the streets? Because Americans are complacent and take the wonderful democratic republic that they inherited, that generations had to fight and die to build, for granted. Too many are tuned out.

gowestdixie.bsky.social•3 days ago

I never pay much attention to Suan Glasser, not gonna start now.

Tho, I see why you'd prefer the other cover photo, Charlie.
Sorry, lol.

capitaldexter.bsky.social•4 days ago

If we know that Russia successfully interfered with the 2016 election, why don't we believe they helped sack the 2024 election?

Each passing day feels more like Joe Biden let them take it. I don't mean just losing, but how would his intel folks not see any of this?

isabelsena.bsky.social•2 days ago

I've just listened to this episode. Another way of analysing the "where did it go off" question during the Oval Office meeting is through carefully paying attention to body-language. This is a very insightful 🧵. There is so much more going on than just what was said..

People are protesting. It’s not being televised. There’s a difference.

There are more people in the streets than are being covered by the mainstream news. The #TeslaTakedown protests are happening all over the place, and they are hurting Tesla sales. https://bsky.app/profile/alexwinter.com/post/3ljgc3nsihs2n

prey.net•4 days ago

I've been to three so far and counting. Doing what I can to spread the word and have created an upcoming event in a new area. #Medford #Oregon
#TeslaTakedown is working and growing every week.
Let's f*cking go!

dinajay.bsky.social•4 days ago

Get out there then!

floridajohn.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why aren't our elected Democratic leaders organising protesters and leading us in the streets? Trump had no problem with paid supporters and busing supporters in. I've contributed much to the DNC over the decades. Time to pay back. Get me on a plane to DC and I will march right next to you.

dokterrudi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Same. Give me a place and time.

floridajohn.bsky.social•4 days ago

Otherwise, you can just shut the F up because bitching on social media does nothing.

georgiegetsit.bsky.social•4 days ago

Exactly!! Why aren't YALL in the streets??!

hpny.bsky.social•4 days ago

We are!! But we need more people

lule777.bsky.social•3 days ago

They should have had a huge demonstration outside and have never attended. They looked so so weak. This is not 2024. This is not normal. This is not a time for protocol. Last stop. Everybody out.

follyfarm.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nothing stopping you Susan. Use your platform to organize. Get off your elite stool and exercise your authority

taylorisland.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why isn’t she? I guess she can grift a bit more before she decides it’s capitulation time.

franciepants.bsky.social•4 days ago

@sbg1.bsky.social Hellooooo, we are out in the streets, more everyday. Try to keep up. Canandaigua NY, March 3

wholetree.bsky.social•4 days ago

America has no more muscle memory for sustained, mass protests. The last time there were those kinds of consistent protests was Vietnam. Americans (hopefully) will venture out of their comfort zones... but, the window is closing. We need leadership that can effectively and quickly herd all the cats!

maryangelaperna.bsky.social•4 days ago

Pretty clear to me that this administration hasn’t thought any of this through. I’m hearing from retired folks, not “Marxists”, who are ready to protest —& these are not people who protest. *Not* activists

This is absolutely going to make ppl rise up
