Rep. Perez of Washington State voted IN FAVOR of the Censure of Rep. Al Green! We are voting you out!

Yes we are voting her out

banzairoundeye.bsky.social•50 days ago

It's hilarious how you said that you won't let them, but you actually do let them. You continually give Congress a quorum and unanimous consent. You aren't accomplishing anything. Everything you do is nothing more than words.

banzairoundeye.bsky.social•50 days ago

Today you can't make a difference because you're completely out of touch and no longer represent the needs of the working people. The Democratic party has become out of touch, and have been for so long that they cannot stop a fascist takeover. We need a Labor Party and we need it know!

mollyboom.bsky.social•50 days ago

What are you doing to make way for a new mom and tennis shoes? Because you've been there a long time

unicornskr.bsky.social•50 days ago

Step up!

mollyboom.bsky.social•50 days ago

Are you talking to me?

unicornskr.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yes, or any other person so inspired.
Asking a politician to make room for new blood is meaningless if there aren’t people willing to step up.

mollyboom.bsky.social•50 days ago

I'll keep that in mind. I'm 71 years old and 100% disabled, but sure, if you wanna run my campaign and raise the money, I'm in, princess.

unicornskr.bsky.social•50 days ago

Ha! I wouldn’t count you out based on age alone. If you have a platform I believe in, I will support you.

pointc.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yeah - there are a lot of moms and dads in tennis shoes. I hope they primary the hell out of a lot of Democrats in the House and Senate. I'll be donating to young progressive fighters.

My god - 10 Democrats in the House actually signed on to censure Al Green for standing up to fascism. Come on!

Yes ma’am thank you. Can I ask how you got started? Did you just go up to the schools and ask to speak with someone or? I’m wanting to speak with the schools about seeing if we can start a community garden for each school so that the kids can have healthy delicious food to eat without having to be

dystopianmumma07.bsky.social•50 days ago

Hungry. Did you start a petition? I want to make sure all children are eating.

If there was only some tangible sign of you doing something to stop it….please tell us what your doing not broad statement platitudes

Senator Murray, thank you for standing up, please keep pushing. This is not the time to respect the norm, as there are so much illegal acts being done, destroying the govt and our daily lives. DOGE team doesn’t have the presidential immunity, they should be looked at, very hard, for who they are.

shokostjohn.bsky.social•50 days ago

The reason why there are more hackers & lawyers in DOGE and not the financial experts, shows their intentions they are not there to look at waste/fraud. They are copying all the govt data that no other AI engine has access to, and build the AI govt on Grok3, which can be manipulated w/ algorithms.

shokostjohn.bsky.social•50 days ago

And the fact that DOGE has this individual, Ethan Shaotran, who had the election “BallotProof” project when he was in college, makes me feel very very worried - they get all the access to computers in CISA, we won’t have any more fair elections. https://web.archive.org/web/20250204131222/https://devpost.com/software/ballotproof-vision

shokostjohn.bsky.social•50 days ago

I really, really hope the Democratic Party’s leadership to be looking at the people in DOGE who are not protected with presidential immunity, to go after their illegal actions. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/27/us/politics/doge-staff-list.html?unlocked_article_code=1.004.cIj4.Ve-m1OxcGYCb&smid=url-share

What are you doing to stop this NOW?

stephaniekind.bsky.social•49 days ago

Please hold town halls in WA 5th District and/or 4th District during recess next week. Repub. Reps Newhouse and Baumgartner are hiding from their constituents, so you can step in and tell them that, if not stopped, cuts to Medicaid will result in area hospitals closing, all for billionaire tax cuts

nunyabinazz.bsky.social•49 days ago

I want a mom in tennis shoes who is going to get kicked out of PTA meetings for loudly standing up to bullies.

thefascistquestion.bsky.social•50 days ago

When the nazis have overthrown 🇺🇸, it’s time to (check’s notes) dust off the trusty decades-old ‘tennis shoes’ schtick

better to be a mom in tennis shoes than whatever kind of parent Elon or Donald is

What we need are young fair-minded, rational candidates in steel toed boots

We need an audit/investigation into the 2024 election. @electiontruth.bsky.social (Election Truth Alliance) has been analyzing the data and found multiple extreme instances of "anomalies": evidence Republicans rigged the election in favor of Trump. #VerifyTheVote

Save our children, save the federal education department.

soulpilgrim.bsky.social•50 days ago

The solution is not legislative. This is a criminal coup, it's for the Dems to take commensurate action.

cathyci.bsky.social•50 days ago

You are no longer a mom in tennis shoes but a grandma who brunches with people because it’s the polite thing to do

equalityforhumans.bsky.social•50 days ago

What can be done with traitors in power? destroying our government, belonging to the people, not the president!

They are aiding and abetting our adversaries. We used to call that exactly what it is.

julesbraun.bsky.social•50 days ago

I see you, doing good work. Thank you for fighting.

Keep going!

resist-1956.bsky.social•49 days ago

The country is being destroyed and you are using talking points from 30 years ago. Get up to speed: rally, encourage and get out in the streets with the protesters. Do more than speak to an audience who couldn’t care less. Read the room: your constituents expect a lot more from you. DO YOUR JOB

20thdems.bsky.social•50 days ago

Thank you Senator, and thank you for not attending that sham of a speech.
