do we know anyone in a position of power, such as an elected official, who might assist in such an effort

History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.

Let’s not become one of them.

One vote by an elected official isn't enough.
Votes count & we the people need to vote in 2026.
Democrats are the minority in the Senate.
Democrats are the minority in the House.
Democrats are the minority in the Supreme Court.
Democrats are not even inside the Office of Presidency.
Start calling.

I have voted and phonebanked for the Dems. And when they were in the majority, they still used less political power than the GOP did when they were an obstructionist minority. They need to start taking this seriously instead of raising funds on it.

Please keep it up. GOP are not honest brokers-- use corrupt illegal power (inciting insurrection)-- accomplish nothing but obstruction & refuse bipartisanship. It is easier to burn a house down than to build it. Jamie Raskin knows his stuff at 1:30 mark. Inspiring!

Why hasn't the SCOTUS done anything to stop Trump ?

The SCOTUS
is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law.[3]

Hmm. Because they’re complicit? Their decision on blanket immunity comes to mind…

Stop him.

dqprincess.bsky.social•22 days ago

Adam, can you please try to get more representatives to speak out, strongly?
This has to be told loud and clear!

fraochs.bsky.social•22 days ago

I just can’t with him. I never was a huge fan but he has turned out to be immensely disappointing. Not that he is alone in that.

stevengarcia24.bsky.social•22 days ago

Let me think.... Nope nobody coming to mind..

profsjw.bsky.social•22 days ago

Dems really fighting back, aren't they? The Dem leadership leading the way? Really getting out there and fighting the fight?

To be fair, Adam Schiff was a leader in every remotely successful effort to hold Trump accountable in Congress. I'm not ready to assail him 11 days in.

abegoldfarb.bsky.social•22 days ago

He voted to confirm Trump’s manifestly unfit DOT pick. Inexcusable.

merkinmuffly.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ahh, the liberal purity police, keep attacking the good guys hero

abegoldfarb.bsky.social•22 days ago

He literally voted to confirm Sean Duffy, are you high

mserinlloyd.bsky.social•22 days ago

I guess if that's where you draw the line... I personally think leading impeachment charges and a years-long Congressional investigation that brings to light everything we know about Jan 6 carries a *tiny* bit more weight. But that's just me.

paulie458.bsky.social•22 days ago

You're right, that's just you. Not the time for thoughts and prayers, he needs to get his shit together and DO SOMETHING!!!!!

abegoldfarb.bsky.social•22 days ago

Giving Trump and his nominees even one vote AFTER TRYING TO IMPEACH HIM? Absurd. Utterly absurd. But whatever helps you sleep at night i guess.

It’s too late

Let Republican spineless traitors know how you feel about the purge destroying our democracy

sueshoes8.bsky.social•22 days ago

What can be done!! There has to be some push back or they will steal every dime& leave people with nothing

martindev4.bsky.social•20 days ago

It doesn’t have to be an elected official

abegoldfarb.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes but when an elected official expresses alarm, we might note that they are in a position to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING

pauluscadaulus.bsky.social•22 days ago

Too late.

xxriotgrrrrrlxx.bsky.social•22 days ago

Call Tim Walz. Why is it only the governors who seem to have any punch in them? All of our reps are busy directing their interns to post social media decrying the bad things and declaring that they support the good things. What an absolute shit show.

vegaskev.bsky.social•22 days ago

If we are counting on the Dems, the country is doomed. Feckless scaredy cats.

dameofdestiny.bsky.social•22 days ago

"Let's fight for our freedoms." How? When? Can one single Democrat provide any details or a list of action steps?

paulie458.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bad enough that he and Pelosi ganged up on President Biden and pushed him out without a real plan, he NEEDS to stand up now and demand the rest of OUR government step in and stop these megalomaniacs from destroying everything.
