Senator I adore you. But, with all due respect just calling for investigations is not enough. You need to push vocally both externally and internally demanding her leaders grind the Sen to a halt to fight this coup. Starting now. These posts are now essentially useless. - ThreadSky

We must Scream constitutional crisis together. Do not let them cause chaos and confusion. Remember we FAR outnumber them! Let’s do this to take back our country. Sign and share! Let’s show them how many there are of us ! We need to organize and start somewhere!

If trump has the control you believe he has, then grinding the Senate to a halt is equally useless.

davidoatkins.bsky.social•32 days ago

They need to physically go over there and demand to see what is happening with congressionally approved funds.

anarcish.bsky.social•32 days ago

They are craven cowards beholden to the same rich idiots that trump is, they will not save you because they don’t actually care. The people who claim to represent you have sold you out.

The new head of the democrats just defended taking donations from the same billionaires who fund trump.

THIS ALL DAY

Thank you, Senator. Musk should testify before Congress. He won't because he's an oligarch but the attempt should at least be made. And if he's handling all that money he should have to take a drug test.

opallaroche.bsky.social•32 days ago

He should be called before Congress just so elected representative can say that they *tried* to get to the bottom of matters.

xiruxi.bsky.social•32 days ago

Republicans control the gavel. He won't be called unless Republican Senators feel some heat.

sugarcubedog.bsky.social•32 days ago

ABSOLUTELY!!

carenloathing.bsky.social•32 days ago

And now, on the weekend. Show some actual alarm. It will also be easy to see who the invaders are when they're the only ones there.

niceandinnocent.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeah and why aren't they doing that?

kernunno.bsky.social•32 days ago

That is not consistent with democrat values. If you wanted politicians who cared one way or the other you needed to elect them, David. You chose neoliberals, you get neoliberal nonaction.

cjtheran.bsky.social•32 days ago

Theyre not going to because that might require them to work on a weekend or something

proudanselmo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Right. The people who regularly pull all-nighters to get shit done are afraid of working weekends.

cjtheran.bsky.social•31 days ago

Well this was been going on since last week and they apparently couldn't come up with a sooner time than EOD Monday to come up with a response, so clearly they didn't think doing anything over the weekend was important, something that Musk was literally crowing about https://bsky.app/profile/newsguy.bsky.social/post/3lhaguxfdi22n

Bring cameras.

keviniswriting.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes, bring media and live stream it

deboraht.bsky.social•32 days ago

The Orange Felon kicked the trad media out. They should have some free resources to go check out the coup. You know, cameras, reporters, and such.

eternalcatwar.bsky.social•32 days ago

fuck it storm the building, this is undermining the entire integrity of our country, this is a literal coup

dainty-bastard.bsky.social•32 days ago

Make a scene. If the press won't come, put it online. Livestream it, podcast it, youtube it, everything.
Get a crowd there. Dig in.
Get your officials there. If they won't come, get others.

This is a fucking emergency people. Don't sit it out.

deboraht.bsky.social•32 days ago

And secure the systems, and assess the damage. And change the locks.

digitaldiscipline.bsky.social•32 days ago

With or without armed backup.

mcclain142.bsky.social•32 days ago

John Lewis would have already been arrested on live TV #GoodTrouble

mrcunn02.bsky.social•32 days ago

Young John Lewis, maybe.

Sadly, old John Lewis was a crony capitalist.

mcclain142.bsky.social•32 days ago

Bullshit. Dude was part of a sit-in on the flood of the House in 2016, just a few years before he died.

blueallylove.bsky.social•32 days ago

Exactly. This is fucking ridiculous.

elenaperez.bsky.social•30 days ago

Thank you, yes! There is no way that, were I a member of Congress, I would not be physically at that building demanding that the lawlessness stop and blocking access

criterdee.bsky.social•32 days ago

Serious question: can US taxpayers refuse to file their tax returns?

I mean, if #MoscowMusk and cronies are accessing the IRS, wouldn’t we be well within our rights to withhold our income taxes?

darceymorris.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes! Please! Why is this not happening??

kernunno.bsky.social•32 days ago

Because it isn't what you voted for. You elected liberals. Liberals do not act.

lauracovington.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes!

bluegirlpdx.bsky.social•32 days ago

This is the energy we need. Not insurrectionists but those opposing authoritarian rule.

ccdude8.bsky.social•32 days ago

At OPM they are fucking with federal pensions, the Thrift Savings Plan worth trillions. Who knows what they're going to do with it? Will they make federal retirees subjects of Musk too?

deboraht.bsky.social•32 days ago

Maybe they’re going to invest it all in Tesla.
