Democrats like Obama should be leading HUGE amphitheater events denouncing fascism and this corrupt administration. People are FIRED UP. Use the power of rallies for good and not just campaign funds. Let’s get to it!
Hero and Disappoint Barack Hussein Obama retired with his money pile in 2017. He was never a progressive, and really can't be bothered unless it's making phone calls to get primary candidates to shiv Bernie.
The rule of law doesn’t matter right now! Using the court is not an immediate solution. These are distractions while they continue to break things at a record pace. You need to be steps ahead of them. They aren’t smart and have been showing their cards for decades. Beat them at their own game.
Our party has always been reactive, not proactive. A lot of handwringing and strongly-worded letters, but they continue to behave in a "bipartisan" way rather than understanding this is war. Our party claims the rule of law will save us. They're wrong. Trump/Elon are lawless. The GOP are corrupt.
Dems could be holding huge amphitheater rallies against fascism and this administration. They could plan it in a few days and show solidarity against this administration.
@sanders.senate.gov we need you screaming at packed rallies to get up and fight back and use their voice and flood governors and senators with strongly worded letters and create a counterbalance to MAGA with a nation united against tyranny and oligarchal corruption
These are all well intentioned and correct steps but the current administration is coloring so far outside of the lines that we can’t just keep re-drawing them. Trump and Musk belong in jail. Days ago.
Lawsuits and hearings slow the machine but don’t stop it. Musk’s game is attrition—embedding DOGE so deeply that removing it is impossible. If the state becomes reliant on his infrastructure, he governs by default. Blocking isn’t enough; the alternative must be built before his takeover is complete.
Thank you. We need a daily brief. Please have the DNC provide info on the 3 seats that are now available..in red districts. Who are the Dems running against them if any?
What are we doing for 2026 house and Senate… worried about GA. Do we have anyone against Collins. What’s the plan!
Josh Weil in Florida District 6, Gay Valimont in Florida District 1, and Blake Gendebein in New York district 21.
Florida's elections will be held on April 1st, New York is TBD
We live with firsts every day😳. First man on the moon. First women voting. First University open to all people.
First president hung for treason in the name of defending Democracy and the Constitution would be the best ever declaration of Never again. It’s time to set that precedent.
Once upon a time Americans bragged how they had never been attacked on their own territory, then Pearl Harbour happened and then 9/11. In both cases thousands died. First President to be hung for treason is just one death that could save millions.
Good girl GI JANE. WRITE IT!
Declare you are. I’m just a 🇨🇦 with no right to bare arms. I’ve been arguing with my cousins to the south about what the 2nd is really for, for decades. Americans are waking up one by one and understanding for the first time.
I feel you. What Republicans need to understand is they’ve cow towed to Trump because of his crazy MAGA loons. Well, they haven’t reckoned with us. We may not be loony, but there are a lot of us ready to go to the mat and fight before we hand them the keys to our democracy.
You really need to read the rest of my posts to fully understand my reasoning though. The 2nd was given to you to give you the right to defend all the other Amendments…think about it that way …maybe for the first time.
I understand your thinking and I'm on a par with your anger, but the left cannot be the ones to strike the first blow of violence in this fight. Haven't you noticed all the MAGAs urging for civil war? Felon47 wants one tiny excuse to declare martial law and bring out the
entire US Army against us, and he will do it in an instant because his people back it. We have to step carefully and show them as the violent ones. I agree it's frustrating because neither Congress nor the courts have any way to enforce their orders against a lawless Executive branch.
The U.S. Military themselves take an oath to defend the constitution. Isn’t it more likely the majority would make that choice considering the depravity of DJ TRAMP? They must be talking amongst themselves. 😳
If you want to use the Constitution to fight Tramp. The 2nd Amendment was actually written to give you the right to defend the the rest of the entire Constitution…that Constitution written to give you the right to hang your president for treason.
He’s just a man…with a title😳 the same way the Pope is just a man with a cloak😳.. that somehow gives him overwhelming power to change minds? Yet he’s telling Ukrainians to forgive Ruzzian scum. TRAMP is telling Americans to fall in order…his order😡.
Need to be doing way more what about the f****** Treasury department? And other things I can't go over today because I'm completely burned out by this b******* and freaking smokes coming out of my ears because I am so pissed off at both political parties and the entire f****** government
I feel much the same way as you. What helps me to stay in check is these feelings are exactly what Trump wants. Trump and P2035 want chaos, confusion, fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
I’m not saying it isn’t scary and angering.
You know why he wants that and he wants you to think that so you don't f****** do anything so you can keep doing what he's doing. He has to be stopped what he's scared of is being hit in the face and we need to hit him in the f****** face hard and repeatedly
Attorneys doing cool stuff. Reps and Senators just talking a lot. Did you happen to see Jeffries saying we “have” to compromise with the fascist party? What level of oppression is acceptable to the Democrats?
I am seeing the same useless self serving meme oriented political approaches now that lost us the election. I think I will lose my lunch if I see another house rep post their headshot photo with a caption saying that “Demolished” / “Crushed” / “took down” etc etc etc.
Well folks went crazy a few days ago that the dems "didnt do anything and had to do something!" And most asked for performative theater... so the dems listened. Lol
OK, let’s go with the messaging because we are far behind.
There needs to be an all out media campaign to combat and troll the way the Republicans are destroying the fabric of this country and screwing Americans gleefully.
I know you all just got elected, but we are behind.
Yes!!! Media and branding! We also need our social media geniuses to create creative videos and shorts - where are you guys? Maga-nuts can't have drained all the creative minds, right?
That is what I thought several weeks ago! Utilize KamalaHQ team. We need a strong social media presence. I am thankful for the democrats coming out and calling them out! We need that kind of fire and to get the message across. We the people are not going to go down easy! Let’s get fired up!
Its not smart to respond to demands for action with insubstantial shows.
Its nowhere near enough. Take substantive action or deal with the consequences. There won't be anyone to protect dems from the fascists. You gotta do something, and fast.
Dip-derp, they COMMAND the cops. Capitol police follow their orders. All they have to do is tell capitol police to make arrests, and arrests will be made.
Its is a choice to disregard their power, and that is what they are doing. Performative nonsense in the place of substantive action.
I wonder how many American's lives team musk ruined today. I've seen a couple of seniors post that their social security checks have been around $600 less than what they are supposed to be. Every minute they spend w/access to our Treasury lives are being ruined. My bank info is where atp? HURRY!!!!!
As a trans person waiting to be exterminated I don't see anybody doing shit about anything. This party is a fucking joke. I guess we aren't human beings.
Yes, they should be jailed for the outright and blatant terrorism against citizens of the United
States. They took an oath to protect and serve ALL
of us. It’s deplorable that Biden and co handed the keys over knowing what was coming.
Politicians are all the same when it comes down to it. They’re obsessed with the 1% at the top, not the 1% of our society facing eradication. It makes me sick.
Did anyone ask to see the government issued I.D. of the guy who blocked access to the Dept. of Education? If he can't prove that he is a government employee, the police should be notified or a citizen's arrest should be made. That said, thank you for everything you are doing.
The head of the DNC went to go meet with the "good billionaires" and grovel for money while a coup took place. And yet you're still sending out fundraising texts. This party disgusts me.
Because twiddling our thumbs and shaking our fingers has done a lot. Crying about norms and traditions is part of what got us here. If you want to bring a plastic fork to a gun fight feel free.
Plastic forks won't do much against a gun, but are you suggesting everyone gets a gun to solve every problem? Not sure how being dead will help? Please clarify.
Senators need to file a legal brief with the Supreme Court to revoke Trump's unlimited powers. The judges represent the Constitution and us, the people! If any judge refuses, they have to give good cause for allowing the Constitution to be destroyed.
The list is appreciated! There doesn’t seem to be any news outlet reporting anything other than the Orange Ones abhorrent disdain for lawful EOs. He thinks he own the Judicial branch of government as well as Execute and Legislative. My concern is, does he?
I listen to NPR and PBS Newshour most days (and a local college radio newshour - those kids find some interesting stuff!) as well as read Democracy Now! and Mother Jones.
What media are you absorbing? I basically ignore anything for-profit anymore.
I enjoy NPR as well, but typically watch ABC News in the evening. Some opposition stories, but it seems hard for them to get past each day’s buffoonery because there is such a large target of opportunity. I may have to checkout the PBS news hour.
Even it can be too equanimous nowadays, like NPR. Sometimes I'm shouting at my radio, "Why even listen to a word that man says?!? He has no credibility!"
I wish the reporting of trump sounded more like this: "trump ... Gaza; another deceptive, thoughtless blurt expressing venality and ignorance."
MSNBC seems to be doing a better job of covering what is really happening. I watch Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. They're not watering it down like some other news media have.
This is a fun little list but we need aggressive action to fight fascism! Congratulations on your position but this “high road” bullshit is why we are here!
I can’t disagree nor agree with your comment. I’m ready to say what aggressive action CAN we take tomorrow - and take it together? Not to single you out personally but you plan events- what say you?
I'm joining protest on Sun outside local Tesla dealership. Local Dem club is handing out blank boards at the farmers mkt so ppl can make signs. Going Dem club mtg to c what's the plan/come up w/ plans. I've sent msg to DNC chair @kenmartin.bsky.social to post "call to action" for all of us every day
David and the DNC would rather look good losing than getting dirty winning. I mean, what do you expect from a kid that let MTG get I. His face and verbally bitch slap him and he 0 about it. We need warriors. No PC cowards. So done with this party.
Def five into artifa (short for antifascists) and the Black Panthers! Wherever been folks who've recognized the need for armed resistence for quite some time and their examples can encourage us 🤠
I just think that trying to fight a madman by politely filing lawsuits seems ineffective. We’re trying to operate as though we’re dealing with a normal human being.
The young punks are now in MCR/MCD looking at what was paid for which means they are viewing your health records. Isn't that a HIPPA violation? Are the little Nazi's stealing the records to review for eugenic reasons?
The democrats were denied entry, not MAGA. But the rest of what you said —> truer words were never spoken. We are living in a post-accountability apocalypse.
All I meant was that MAGA was denied entry to the Capitol on J6. We see what they did. But we don’t do that because we have to much respect for a system that is now dead.
Ah, gotcha. The irony of actual government officials being locked out and turned away by the party that supported the illegal entry you were talking about on 1/6…it just highlights the utter hypocrisy and void of any ethics or moral center at the heart of the fascist party.
Right! Denied entry and then what? Write a sternly worded letter? Those are the people's buildings. You are our representatives. We want to know what they're doing in there. Go in and find out: you pay the bills with our money!!!
May I ask what are your suggestions? I was hoping the House Reps at the Dept. of Education today would've pushed inside and actually gotten themselves arrested. That would've been on all the news channels. But apparently they locked the door on them and their access was denied.
They need to start getting serious. If the doors to the building are locked, break them the fuck open. Bring muscle. Smash heads. Or just file another lawsuit and get another injunction that will be ignored.
I read that each congressman or senator should go home and hold town halls. Inform us, rile us up, give us actions we can take to support our democracy! There are so many out here who would love some leadership from the Dems.
This is precisely the problem: I am fresh out. This list is things we used under the old system. It’s obsolete. It is no longer “a thing.” The rules are different. Accountability is dead. We must do what we can get away with. Just like they do. It’s all they will understand.
Lawsuits are about the most powerful thing we have right now, some they control both houses of Congress. Unless we get massive public reaction, there's really nothing else.
What will a lawsuit accomplish? I mean on the off chance it is successful years down the road? There is nobody to enforce the decision. The rules have changed.
Injunctions. Also a lot of president related cases get fast tracked. Enforcement is definitely an issue, but the courts are about all we have left of checks and balances.
I agree. For example, #2 should read: house dems showed up to dept of education and they are still there. They will not leave until they gain access. They will go to jail before they would ever leave.
That's what happens when you elect children to adult rules. It truly sucks what he went through in his school. That doesn't qualify him to co chair the party. But, they know everything so
We can't depend on the adults in the Democratic party to do much, especially since they have both houses of Congress. The "children", as you call them, have to start learning now so they can take over after the Boomer generation of politicians is all dead.
Ezra Klein today was saying how many Democrats didn't even believe their own rhetoric about how Trump was a danger to democracy. And they thought when he was elected that they could work with him on some things. And now they are starting to realize that they've been caught flat-footed.
Yes!!! Sarah Kendzior did. Anyone who had any knowledge of 2016 & Putin did. Anyone who watched Peter Thiel's interviews or kept up with the tech bros! Academics who study Orban & autocratic systems..
Yes, we knew what they said but not how it would be implemented. And that the cowardly R traitors would allow it and even now will do nothing to stop the attack.
Please do something about the cataclysmic NIH policy on cutting indirects to federal grants. I work at a univ and am paid by those. We are all going to lose our jobs all across the country!!!
Keep these coming. I have become incredibly depressed about how Trump is simply destroying America for sport with no apparent opposition. His retribution tour needs extreme pushback.
YOU can be part of that pushback. Every act of resistance & rebellion against the bloated fascist has the ability to slow him down. Nobody is coming to save us except ourselves.
Yes. If the Dems want donations we have to see a bigger fight and comms that get out to all the public. Tell us what you will do with the money and how you will find ways to win.
No to the Democratic party endless begging for cash until they can stand up and tell us how they plan to fight Trump. No one at leadership is listening to their voters and BS on “focus groups”. Massive marches and protests led by elected Dems is a start. Town halls across the country is essential
I am still so grateful you are still with us and are continuing the fight against all this hate and gun violence. Been keeping track of you since the shooting.
I suppose we could just sit back and let the asshats do whatever they want, but since they won't make us rich like their repub puppets, gotta do something...I'm embarrassed that so many Americans voted for that fuckin felon rapist lunatic racist pos
For every action Trump takes, Democrats need to take action. We have a very deep bench. Let’s deploy their voices. The work for us. We cannot phone this one in :)
There is tangible proof in Drop-Off and Early-voting data in the video I showed. "The math isn't mathing." Destroying the evidence is a crime in and of itself, and we can clearly see manipulation. Don't have a defeatist mentality, we should all #RESIST.
In his first administration, Trump was livid when postcards started arriving at the White House addressed to "President Bannon." I hope no one does the same with postcards addressed to "President Musk."
So, just more and more talk and no action of any consequence to Trump. It’s too late to try to block access to the data after they have copied it all. They had unrestricted access with write privileges for 6 days. You must be proactive and file for protection against any and all untouched agency.
Trump is in poor physical health & in a state of full cognitive decline. Trump will be dead soon. When the MAGA bunker is burning, what side of American History do you want to be on?
How many of the GOP OKW are brave enough to keep a can of gasoline for themselves?
Trump being dead won’t help. The reds have project2025. It’s for ANY Republican that comes along. With Trump dead we’ll have Vance and the US will be in the same position. Only he’ll live a lot longer.
Pathetic. Do NOT morph into a Schumer. Do not fall into the Dem trap of irrelevance- you guys walked away with your tail between your legs. Do some MLK research. U don’t crawl off.
That's nice. Now, get tough. Even being mean would be ok with your Dem supporters. Stop acting like this all is normal, and strongly worded letters will do anything to stop it.
But in the meantime...6 Democrats voted for Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary; 8 for Chris Wright/Energy; 21 for John Ratcliffe/Nat’l Intelligence; 15 for Scott Bessent/Treasury; and ALL voted for Marco Rubio/Sec of State.
If we also burn our rulebook, we’d dig a deeper hole into chaos and disorder.
Pretty soon we’ll become a third world country where nobody cares about anything, everyday is a slog against corruption & bribery. I’m glad one side has a rule book, else we’d have to migrate to Europe for a better life.
America is already a 3rd world country. 66% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. They work 2-3 jobs on 6-7 days per week. They still can't make rent & buy food for their kids. Those who become homeless by missing a shift to vote, miss out on voting.
The reds are playing a completely different game with our system we HAD, we can't rely on the rule book you speak of, it no longer applies to the way the system is now, we need to fight back even if we use their tactics, we can beat them and reinstate the rules except make them stronger for future
Thank you! i would also like a fact-based campaign launched to discredit EVERY single lie that the orange spray painted roach 🪳 speaks! I know its a tall order but we MUST get the opposing truthful factual
voice out there/all the time!
I've been doing that on fb, and it doesn't matter. They parrot what Leavitt says and do not fact-check it. When asked for sources, they tell me to look it up, which I have already done. When I site articles or link them, they don't read them or say, "I'm not reading your novel." It's all fake news
Yes, fighting for truth ALWAYS matters. i am
Asking the democratic party to launch a campaign to combat the lies. We need a campaign to discredit the lies and wake up the truth for every lie, with facts.
And yet there he still is, violating the Constitution, putting American lives, and our national security at risk, with no consequences. Thanks for nothing. Where were you guys when verifying the votes to put an insurrectionist in office? Who stood up and said, "He cannot be president"?
Why is Elon not arrested awaiting trial? For election interference, impersonating a government employee, misappropriation of funds, I could go on, but it doesn't matter, he knows you will do nothing but frivolous law suits and empty threats.
There’s no one in authority, with the power, to actually do that. Anything happens to musk and the national don will just pardon him. As many times as he wants.
Congress can have people fired including the president. They can also subpoena individuals and have them arrested for ignoring subpoenas. They can also refuse to follow unlawful orders, and refuse to pass unconstitutional legislation.
The dems don’t have congress. They don’t have anything. So they can technically do those things. But they won’t. Armed soldiers at the dept of education refusing entry. Meaning the reds have everything. Executive, judicial, legislative and the military.
Yeah, but have you been on X🤣😂 you should scroll over there and see what all they’re finding🤔 the days of the dark government yeah I’m pretty sure they’re over👿👿
Must promised to unearth $2 trillion of wasted spending. He hasn't even found anything close to that, and what he has found does not justify gutting entire departments at the expense of American healthcare, global influence, and scientific research.
Just like the old song goes, we’ve only just begun! The saddest thing of all is that I haven’t seen one Democrat not one be concerned about where the hell the taxpayers money went! That’s what scary and why you lost!
Standing at podiums wagging their finger is not going to do anything. South Korean members scaled fences to get in… ours stand outside wringing their hands… I thought we were the best.
They’re mostly spineless, and have succumbed to ‘not wanting to sound like BlueAnon, or act like the J6 insurrectionists’, and instead ‘trust the system’. The insurrection is happening inside the capital and White House!
Remember how he wanted to deploy the army to shoot protestors, but the largely sane/effective folk that the GOP picked to prevent him burning the country down, are no longer there. Now he has Hegseth, who’s jonesing for an excuse. He’ll declare martial law & anyone on the streets will be within ROI.
A more appropriate analogy, to me, would be, "You don't blow up the car and buy a new one just because getting it fixed by a mechanic would take longer".
Oh please they're all good at running their mouth the problem is that's all they ever fucking do run their mouth play by the rules and watch everything gets stolen from them fuck the Democrats I voted for them my whole life they're the most useless group of nobody's I've ever fucking come across
They didn’t do enough, if they don’t do something serious soon millions of people are likely going to die. We are barreling head first into a nazi style dictatorship that is actively harmful towards it’s citizens and other countries.
If we really care about preserving Democracy and all it stands for, how can we break those same rules and still have an honest claim to wanting to keep them?
Because you gotta fight fire with fire . America is a representative of democracy, not a true democracy . If it was the electoral college wouldn’t decide presidential elections . Our votes would
If following the rules work then we wouldn’t be here . The president actually tried to overthrow America and America elected him to finish the job . Following the rules don’t work . Especially when you have a different set of rules for rich people . And that’s exactly why we’re fucked
You don't stop doing the right thing or the moral thing just because it's not giving you fast results that you like. Of course, if you're willing to give up being thought of as a properly modern and decent human being, go for it and see what happens. It's the way the J6 insurrectionists thought.
I know that people really believe in the "fight fire with fire" thing, but far too often in history, that kind of thing has gone wrong in ways no one would have guessed. Retribution might feel good, but it isn't in the long run. You're right that it is a representative Democracy. Getting rid of
I agree.. sadly they still think "a good talk", or a slap on the wrist, will change anything. If they would just work together and use the Constitution, they could remove them for good.
the lawsuits are not frivolous - they may not stop everything but they will result in the overreach being trimmed back. Also, they buy time to respond in a meaningful way. We must be careful not to assume Trump administration is justified in the actions it takes; especially the exec. orders.
I'll take a look but even before reading it I know I agree that the courts cannot stop the coup but they can slow things down a bit while other ways of stopping it develop.
Excerpt from the article: A court order cannot enforce itself. It cannot change a mind. It cannot make white folks less racist. It cannot recapture things that have been lost, or stolen. The only thing that can save us is us.
I don't disagree but it is better than nothing - - last time around, lawsuits forced Trump to give rationales for his horrific cruel reckless behavior.
I get it. Kind of a Catch-22 because our "rules" and freedoms are being used against us. And under the "rules" of the Constitution, tRumpf can not hold office, but there he is. The Supreme Court broke the rules, Congress broke the rules. Where do we go from there?
They can't do anything. That is how our system is set up. With delays and appeals, assuming offenders will comply as the process unfolds. They don't comply. They continue the infractions knowing there is nothing we will do. The Executive branch is responsible for enforcement and they are the ones
Start fighting like they mean it. Pelosi chose Connolly over AOC & Dingell over Jasmine Crockett. These are not decisions of a party out to fight for and save America.
The thing I worry about.. is that for every ruling or hearing, they have destroyed or "taken" 10 new things. Have you ever seen things go so bad, so fast before?
I haven’t, and it’s alarming. I’m not saying not to be worried. I’m just saying when you don’t control the House or Senate, this is how you stop him and slow him down. And it is working.
Yup. Smoke and mirrors. People say I'm a defeatist and gave up, but there comes a time to smell the fucking roses. I still have hope for a massive execution, or riots like they have in France, but I can hope in one hand and shit in the other, and see which one fills up fastest.
That would require a non compromised FBI. If Patel is confirmed, the FBI will be an arm of the president and you will never see anything illegal by him or his cronies investigated and arrests will only occur against his enemies, as authoritarians do.
It’s not enough. They need to push past those non-cops and chain themselves to the doors of these buildings. I don’t want to hear any more of @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social talking about Dems being powerless and looking for *common ground with Nazi’s
Once they’re past the non cops, they then have to push past the actual cops that are inside the building, and then Elon’s cadre of ex South African Recces and Mossad body guards. Thugs, but actually pretty tasty and well armed.
That's fine for anyone who is willing to give up calling themselves a properly modern and decent human being. I doubt there are enough Americans who will willingly do that. It's no better than the Orange Idiot wanting revenge and using the government to get it.
You both are wrong, the law says they can already ACT and are under attack and articles of war. You're both fantasizing larping governance instead just actually following the God damned laws and doing the ducking things properly for once ever in history.
the “God damned laws” you so vehemently defend are backed by our founding documents, I presume. the Constitution states (Article iii, Sec. 3), “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. […]”, and…
our Declaration of Independence states, “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form…”
”…as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
so, I have to ask: what would you consider “doing things properly”? does the “right of the people” only mean those in charge? or do you mean something else? ostensibly, the people in charge are doing a whole lot of nothing.
Hey David, updates are helpful, but ditch the coat and tie and get yourself a Carhart coat, hat/gloves and mix it up! Remember - A New Generation Draws The Line. Don’t play the old establishments game - bring it on, the world is waiting.
This is what Dem comms teams - cross platform with synced msging - should have done for 4+ yrs. Good on you for stepping up to do it now. Please meet the moment. Resist, obstruct, delay - everything. Bring govt to a screeching halt until Elmo is out & all govt IT have been scrubbed and secured.
It's not enough. MUSK WAS NOT ELECTED. CONGRESS NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN ALL BUSINESS AS USUAL. YOU ALL KEEP ACTING LIKE THERE US TIME TO STOP HIM. THERE US NO TIME.
That's good, but you should have done it before MustyMusk got a hold of everyone's information.
That should never of happened.
We have to fight off this madness.
Don't give in.
David is able to understand the DOGE team. Hope the Dems listen to some of his ideas. We need young people for the future. We are all so frustrated and afraid for ourselves and our families. I don't want another January 6th this time BUT by the Dems.
Yes, we need young people. When Mr Hogg first stepped forward I underestimated his commitment and resiliency. His unwavering dedication will take him far.
I'm from Florida, blood-red Florida, so I know how his fight has been. He's been through things most of us have not. He's bringing us Leaders We Deserve.
Now, why don't you actually read Project 2025 like you should have before the shit hit the fan, form teams, and take up residency in those departments on the hit list.
And refuse to play chase the ball like a stupid Labrador.
Thanks, I been railing for days and am fairly sure some of my doing this while live news broadcast were happening and hotting them up has pushed the discourse and actions. The bad actors will never feel shame, they're at war and mentally in it. The only place we can pressure is the weak Ds and pray
You fucking larping children, we just need them to ACTUALLY do the government properly. They already have the legal authority and justification for outright executions for exigent circumstances and any resistance as it's already declared armed and hostile and arrests for anyone who won't resist.
I think that we - non union citizens - need to support and organize with all the unions that are, and will be, opposing Project 2025 overreach. This is where we'll get the numbers to reach the critical mass of people to f up Musk and company.
Public school teaching staff are state employees. In Illinois, for example, a teacher can belong to our school district union, state of Illinois IEA and national NEA unions. Participation should be higher than it is.
Too late and not enough, period. I’m a life long Dem voter, donor and worker bee and I’m not sure I can vote for a party whose first instinct is to equivocate and become co-conspirators. I no longer trust you to be the opposition we need.
Funny how some don’t seem to understand that sometimes stick > carrot. I have lived and worked in Dearborn and they don’t have to answer to anyone for their mistreatment at the hands of Dems and politicians over the years.
No, they don't. If they have seen the error of voting for Trump or not voting, I welcome them to join in the resistance. I welcome all. If they still support Trump, they are part of the problem just like anyone else who supports him.
2 House seats are up for grabs in FL April 1st. If Dems take both, the GOP loses its house majority and Dems can block any legislation. Why are we not more focused on that?
I think we are focused on that. I e been getting lots of texts asking for financial support to get Dem wins. But yes, I’m not sure what DNC is doing. I haven’t been to the site lately
Get Dem wins? Look at what's happened: traitors hold ALL of USA's power, & are converting USA to fascism. It's shocking people think voting for Dems is anything; it's not. & Dems put USA on platter for the traitor leaders.
Biden's biggest mistake was he believed it best to sweep leader coup attempt under rug, & support the traitor leaders stay leading & running again. It's why he hired Garland & refused to even speak about coup attempt.
Completely agree 100% on those four. I did like: 60K infrastructure projects nationwide, managed COVID crisis a helluva lot better than trump, doubled # of folks in ACA, over 2M jobs created in just his last yr., banned drilling, clean energy investment, re-joined Paris Accords - just to name a few
FL1, Matt Gaetz's seat and FL6, Michael Waltz's seat - elections are scheduled for April and NY21, Elise Stefanik's seat, that election date is still TBD
A state Iowa Dem just won in a district that was +21 for Trump. Ran on public education and higher minimum wage. It can be done especially with Musk and billionaires running the show now.
I quit donating $ when they quit fighting. I want to see Mitch McConnell level obstruction in the Senate. I want to see some passion and less yawning while we fight this. Take the f’ing gloves off.
I gave a lot last year. But it was mine out the window as the party didn’t grab a decent messaging strategy and just waffled around thinking everyone was going to figure it out. They didn’t
I called Minority Whip Katherine Clark - who is my Rep - yesterday to tell her I want every dime the DNC has poured into winning these seats. You should call your Reps and tell them the same. I'll call every day next week.
I appreciate the positive energy but so far there has not been a single positive thing to come out of that state since the butterfly ballot fiasco. Those 30A folks are wealthy and very Republican. Ever been to Seaside or Destin? It’s a Cult Town. Plus they basically rigged the primary “vote”
Sorry… I just don’t remotely see it happening. This is literally where the Upper Middle Class Republicans go for Vacations. It’s like a breeding ground for MAGA donors.
Upper Middle Class Republicans LOVE their Medicare. There need to be daily television ads making it clear that funding will be cut by Musk and Repubs are doing nothing to stop it. But a Democrat will.
Just wondering why the democrats seem to be sitting around waiting for the Calvary to come rushing in! Jeffries just said he doesn’t know if they will hold up the vote to balance the budget when the time comes! WTAF
American politicians on both sides have been committing Coups in other countries, illegally invading other countries & murdering untold millions in other countries for decades. It's been a two headed snake for a very long time.
And my country of Australia is just as guilty of committing these atrocities.
Every single politician who's supported the Genocide & Ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people are War Criminals who belong in the HAGUE for War Crimes against humanity.
I do believe we are all just trying to get through this however we can. I’ve been calling and writing! Thats the best I can do. Plus he hasn’t banned freedom of speech yet!
I am so disillusioned with our country! I was so proud to be a citizen of the United States, now I am embarrassed! Our congressmen are failing us! Its time to rise up and take our country back. Its only been the longest 3 weeks of our lives! Fuck Trump!!
Didn't read the article, but when the centrists have been pissed for four years that we're left of the Democrats THAT SHOULD HAVE MADE THE DNC improve fast. It hasn't and I believe Ken and David are there despite the DNC and money trying to still stand still sucking their thumbs
Dem focus should be on protecting the midterm elections, and winning to take back congress. The damage that trump does in two years should be fixable. Democrats have proven they can rebuild after chaos. But if he goes unchecked for fours years it will be game over.
DNC is still pointing fingers at each other. They are disorganized without focus on the midterms. Great example was today. Dems show up in front of the Department of Education. It was an embarrassing joke. The midterms are going to be another disaster.
NEED TO START A NEW PARTY WITH NEW LEADERSHIP
Keep swinging, David! And keep posting Democrat accomplishments. I was so disappointed that the Harris campaign never did that and it cost them. Choosing you was a wise decision.
everyone should be begging the military branch of the government to uphold their oath to the constitution and arrest the dictator... these beaurocrats cant do anything
Except speak up and organize. Never make it easy for the idiot republicans. Shame the idiot republican every chance there is and peel off some of their base.
They (republicons) won't do anything cause they're all feckless first and compromised second ! That fat fuckin traitor has dirt on most of them and some dem-o-craps. The rest are just fuckin dirt bags who don't give a shit aboot they're constituent's!
And?
I’m sorry, but the “Let’s file some paperwork, and have a talk” is gonna do what? By the time he’s actually removed, we’re gonna be so vulnerable and fucked.
Dems are literally just chillin like this is a normal bump in the road.
They had every right to push their way past those guards.
And they’re still in everything like roaches.
Unprecedented shit calls for unprecedented measures.
This ain’t the time for hand holding, and throwing words, and papers around.
This is a coup!
What should they do instead? I see a lot of screaming to do something and not liking the things they ARE doing but not one suggestion for anything in their power that would be better
How about Dems in congress having sit-ins with cameras and literally blocking the hallways of congress? Voting NO on every god damn bill and nomination? Ostracize every Dem that capitulates!
Brother, with all due respect, the DNC is not leading. You need to either get out of the way or call on the people to assemble in DC with pots and pans. You're not going to win this by arguing with minimum wage security guards that are blocking the doors to federal buildings.
Is anyone stopping you? Dems are a political party and this will look for political avenues. They're not going to.. do whatever it is you're talking about. And I'm not sure anyone is.
I was out there on Wednesday with something like 500-600 people. Frankly, it was disappointing. The messaging was scattered and unfocused. And as far as I know, it was not attended by any elected officials. I'm not narcissistic enough to believe I can do this on my own. We need focused leadership.
There's really only one goal right now: uphold the rule of law. What Trump/Musk are doing is illegal. We have a Constitution and they're in violation of it. They need to know that the people will hold them accountable. We threw off one king, time to throw off two more.
Article One calls on Congress to hold the executive in check. They have abrogated their oaths to the Constitution by tolerating this. The Supreme Court abrogated theirs when they determined executive actions couldn't be considered illegal. Together, they served us a monarchy. We must throw it off.
This is great. If you don't have the money or time to do any these things here is another option: Tell your reps in DC what you think. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Just be careful .. contacting maggots in congress or state where I live gets your name on an enemies list and gets it associated to the top of mind for the state's data brokers to track and monitor one's activities.
Some people find it easier to punch down on the Democrats than actually do anything positive to help stop Fascism from ruining America. They range from chickenshits to huge assholes.
That's good but even more got done @davidhogg.bsky.social maybe frame it as what you focused on today. Overall Dems are doing a lot more than just those things.
Phone calls have been doing a lot to stiffen the congressional dems' spines. The response this week was very different than the 2 prior weeks, and it's because they're getting flooded with angry calls.
It’s a start - and well done for that - but the Democrats need to be far more aggressive against bills and executive orders submitted that are fully totalitarian, fascist, negative and, in many ways, un-American. In just over a couple of weeks so much damage has been done. So…keep going!
Good update. You don't even know how much this means to people. We are relying on our elected officials to do their jobs but too many times there is a vacuum where we, the people, don't get the information we need. Good job man. Don't stop!
I think our main focus for the next two years is lawsuits and win back seats. It would be wise to donate to interest groups like the ACLU, Democracy Docket, Southern Law Poverty Center etc.
Difficult to win back seats when elections either no longer exist, or are performative nonsense like they are in Russia and Hungary - both of which are models for what trump is doing right now.
Did Democrats just find out yesterday that the orange Mussolini is dismantling our country??? We've known since November this was coming - so let's slow walk everything?? Send a few letters out complaining??? The house is burning - we don't have time for a leisurely stroll!!!
You are not wrong. This was the same flat footed approach Dems took to the overturning of Row v Wade. But here we are now so time to break out the nukes.
I feel like we did that in 2017 and wonder what the mood is for a repeat? We did NYC march and it felt very empowering. Pretty sure today Assolini would have the National Guard mow us down.

You filthy liberal fucks intentionally brought fascism to America, have blocked any and all movement to the left.
What are we doing for 2026 house and Senate… worried about GA. Do we have anyone against Collins. What’s the plan!
Florida's elections will be held on April 1st, New York is TBD
First president hung for treason in the name of defending Democracy and the Constitution would be the best ever declaration of Never again. It’s time to set that precedent.
Declare you are. I’m just a 🇨🇦 with no right to bare arms. I’ve been arguing with my cousins to the south about what the 2nd is really for, for decades. Americans are waking up one by one and understanding for the first time.
I’m not saying it isn’t scary and angering.
What are you doing?
I am seeing the same useless self serving meme oriented political approaches now that lost us the election. I think I will lose my lunch if I see another house rep post their headshot photo with a caption saying that “Demolished” / “Crushed” / “took down” etc etc etc.
There needs to be an all out media campaign to combat and troll the way the Republicans are destroying the fabric of this country and screwing Americans gleefully.
I know you all just got elected, but we are behind.
Our demands is that this administration is out for their unlawful behavior and total corruption.
Your moves in the coming days are crucial. We are holding our donations for action.
Too little, too late.
#gameoverman
Its not smart to respond to demands for action with insubstantial shows.
Its nowhere near enough. Take substantive action or deal with the consequences. There won't be anyone to protect dems from the fascists. You gotta do something, and fast.
Somebody's gotta keep these professional liars in line.
We pay those clowns enough, they need to do their jobs.
And they're choosing that in the face of overwhelming demand from their voters to act.
They could arrest musk's agents that are breaking the law.
Its is a choice to disregard their power, and that is what they are doing. Performative nonsense in the place of substantive action.
● Went home early
States. They took an oath to protect and serve ALL
of us. It’s deplorable that Biden and co handed the keys over knowing what was coming.
I have ZERO tolerance for complicit accomplices.
They are evil
Nonfeasance.
What media are you absorbing? I basically ignore anything for-profit anymore.
I wish the reporting of trump sounded more like this: "trump ... Gaza; another deceptive, thoughtless blurt expressing venality and ignorance."
And dems need to flood them with appeals directly
It may even get sent after a few revisions…
Arrested!
Everyone knew this was coming.
I can’t believe so many democrats are just wringing their hands.
This unprecedented attack on our democracy requires immediate and dramatic action.
By the time any of this gets anywhere the damage will be done.
Billionaires, a very specific handful in particular, need to be in jail and their assets frozen!!!!
get the drama correct, li'l jimmy neutron.
But the list is good.
We are protesting in Western NY on Presidents' Day. 💪✊️
We ARE!

Pretty soon we’ll become a third world country where nobody cares about anything, everyday is a slog against corruption & bribery. I’m glad one side has a rule book, else we’d have to migrate to Europe for a better life.
voice out there/all the time!
Asking the democratic party to launch a campaign to combat the lies. We need a campaign to discredit the lies and wake up the truth for every lie, with facts.
Trump is looking for any excuse to declare a state of emergency
This is per @maxwellfrost.bsky.social today in front of Dept of Ed
We The People are going to have to be the ones to do it
At this point I get excited when one of them manages to accomplish anything at all. It's participation trophies all around
Dems are so divided and the gop is so together.
Both sides are so full of crap.
It's not 2004 y'all.
Stop the economy.
Get in the streets.
Force his hand.
It's time.
The Dem leadership (and Hogg’s coworkers) don’t have a leg to stand on, and they know it.
Their actual policies aren’t actually that different, so they can’t even criticize effectively, just pedantically.
And I love your profile summary; shows critical thinking tempered with openness and acceptance!
It’s time to MOBILIZE & support Dems in their fight. “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country” JFK
https://www.ushistory.org/documents/ask-not.htm
so, I have to ask: what would you consider “doing things properly”? does the “right of the people” only mean those in charge? or do you mean something else? ostensibly, the people in charge are doing a whole lot of nothing.
That should never of happened.
We have to fight off this madness.
Don't give in.
What we need is for him to be stopped and detained at Gitmo because filings won't stop him at the speed he's working
I have all the respect in the world for his work since then.
Now, why don't you actually read Project 2025 like you should have before the shit hit the fan, form teams, and take up residency in those departments on the hit list.
And refuse to play chase the ball like a stupid Labrador.
Win both seats, Republicans will still hold the house majority.
And who are we kidding? They’ll “find the votes” or disqualify democrats votes to ensure who wins.
1. Merrick Garland
2. Janet Yellen
3. SVB Bailout that Sacks and Thiel used to fund support of Trump
4. Gaza
Other than that, he did some good stuff. Unfortunately, those 4 were pretty bad.
People don't vote in numbers in special elections. It IS possible.

They're enablers.
We're all waiting for Americans to general strike, organize!
Protests don't do sh*t and the democratic party is actually voting with the gop!
You have to MAKE them listen!
The sake of the world rests in each of your hands.
Be the strong ones yall have claimed to be all this time and..

Congress has more power so why aren’t they doing their job??
Unprecedented shit calls for unprecedented measures.
This ain’t the time for hand holding, and throwing words, and papers around.
This is a coup!
They’re already voting no on pretty much everything
And ostracizing their own will only make it more likely that they defect or retaliate. They need allies, not more enemies. Also doesn’t solve anything
I don't get how that can be!
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

Trouble
Swearing
Still to come!!??
Here’s some ideas for what we can do:
Be constructive. Be encouraging. Stop bickering with people who are essentially on your side.
Make calls - we can do that from home. Share hard info. Find a local protest you can attend.
Phone calls and emails to our Senators and Reps seem futile, but they need to know we are watching and we will take action.
