All of them except Aoc, Jasmine and few others should be primaried. Decent people but weak and slow as fuck. They are not equipped to deal with this shit. They should just leave instead of becoming target of concerned citizenry’s ire. They won’t ride this tiger if they think somehow the outrage will
One thing Democrats didn’t do today is to show up and campaign for the three Democrats who are campaigning for the vacant seats in the House. There has been ZERO MEDIA COVERAGE about these races. We could have the House back … 🤷♂️ https://bsky.app/profile/joshweil.bsky.social
We are losing control of the United States. It used to be "We The People." It is now."We Were The People: Totally giving up on what was and now living with what is. I really thought we could fight this administration, but it's obvious we can't.
Where are our leaders? Government, Military? ONLY General Milley who is so brave. Democracy is being dismantled? My Father and his two Brothers fought in WW2 Marines, Army, Navy. Do we just sit back and wait? The time is now. We need all of you everywhere and all at once. Where are your spines?
Better. But we need more. One cannot be moderate in the face of tyranny. No Democrat in leadership should be saying there’s nothing we can do legally within our clearly constitutionally defined power. That isn’t stopping Musk Trump and the Republicans. There’s no rule of law so do what you need to.
I’m not saying start clearly committing crimes, I’m saying push the limits of your power as much as they are. There isn’t enough Trump loyalists to run a functioning government. Use that to your advantage.
And I also have another suggestion and I think John Stewart agrees with me. Stop sending Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to address the concerns of Democratic and left independent voters. I get that their leadership roles were decided behind closed doors years ago. But…
The United States that they were chosen to be the leaders of the democratic party of no longer exists. They were chosen to lead behind closed doors, so let them lead behind closed doors. Send Jamie Raskin, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Ilham Omar, Rashida Talib or any Rep who knows what it is to be poor.
Don’t send the highrolling fundraiser people to talk to the suffering masses. They don’t know how to talk to poor people without sounding feckless. The class divide of the Democratic Party between influential donors and the voters is making it impossible for the party to function.
Wealthy libs enjoy Jeffries, little haikus and poetry quotes but not people who are struggling to buy groceries and are terrified of losing their jobs or their children’s IEP. I’m not saying we need to split the party by class. The wealthy donor getters and the working class vote getters can coexist
I can't believe you're bragging about this abysmal performance. Please do more. You have to disrupt this with more than photo ops and committee meetings. You are not doing enough.
Anyone who wants to hear more updates and encouragement as to what might be happening behind the scenes with both democrats and republicans sign up with @indivisible.org They've had a lot of good meetings on Zoom.
Good to hear, but it’s not just a “messaging” problem. You need to create platforms to get real feedback from voters instead of simply broadcasting. You need to listen to and hear all the frustration and negative feedback so you can start moving towards voters instead of consultants and mega-donors.
I'm very glad to see this post but where were posts like these during and in between the past 3 POTUS campaigns? Also, maybe use ALL CAPS for the achievement, e.g. "STOP CORPORATIONS FROM CONTROLLING POLITICS"
Stop him! Bold moves by employees to join forces. Unions use your strengths to organize bold employee actions to deny access. Stay in jobs, but no access. White House in court now. They have broken the front line, so get frontline to fight together.
Publishing a list in an echo chamber does nothing. Create a shadow cabinet & get LOUD with a counter narrative. Get in front of the press everyday & not just friendly press. Or, run primetime ads as atrocities unfold with a repeating hook ‘is this what you want for America?’ INNOVATE. Play hardball.
As a reminder we have two special elections, April 1st! @gayforcongress.bsky.social and @joshweil.bsky.social both running in Florida. @gayforcongress.bsky.social has volunteer information posted on her page!
Instead of just posting this here, a good first step, amplify the message. Can Dems host a daily news briefing to highlight what Ds are doing to help and what Rs are doing to hurt Americans? We need the message to go beyond this platform to a much broader audience on a consistent basis.
As I'm sure others have mentioned innumerable times: trying to use the LAW against people who regularly brag that they are IGNORING the law WILL NOT DO ANYTHING.
Expecting the law to stop them is what got us INTO this mess.
Do something, Democrats! Do some THING, not just ignorable talk or words!
Ok. So nice politics. Whatever floats your boat. What's the plan for the upcoming Fl and NY elections? We need some updates on those. Do you all realize that you all have to non stop campaign from now till thine kingdom come!
Hi, @democrats.org, I will be delighted to begin sharing these messages (from your Slack workspace, where I am a member) just as soon as you take care always to share these wall-of-text posters with the full plain text of the message as plain text for those of us who never share images unless /1
we can add plain text to the ALT labeling of the image to be welcoming of users who use screen-reading devices as they access Web content. Democrats can show we care about all our fellow Americans by following best practices for Web accessibility. I am available immediately to your staff for a /2
free consultation on some of the Web accessibility best practices that I know (my state party knows how to find me and there are ways you could message me) so that we work together to communicate well to the American voters we must win over. Feel free to reach out for suggestions on best /3
communication practices, and thanks for emphasizing a positive message that we can share with fellow Americans.

P.S. I see the ALT text is here as the message is shared here on Bluesky, so I'll share it forward now. My suggestion pertains especially to sharing out these messages on the Slack channel. Thanks.
WE DON'T NEED LISTS. WE NEED ACTIONS! Start organizing mass protests, give instructions to the people on what they can do to help join the opposition. We need a mass movement, not social media posts, FFS!
Even though he was confirmed it goes to say we are building up a momentum to get back to fighting and and protect our democracy! For Fuck sakes! Wake the fuck up!!!!!!
One of the things the DNC does is to fund incumbents against Democratic challengers. Another is to refuse to hire any political consultants that have worked on challengers campaigns. They use funds to keep the status quo in place and resist efforts for democratic change.
Against Democrats - yes. It means any money I send to the DNC will be used to fund conservative Democrats against progressive challengers. I want those challengers to win.
By blacklisting challengers consultants they try to keep their club intact against voters wishes.
She is not as widely liked as you think and her whining about losing a ranking member seat to Gerry Connolly indicates that even Democrats don't trust her.

I'd like to see her cultivate more positive relationships with leaders across New York. Gillibrand could help her if Ocasio Cortez can stop attacking Democrats.
Maybe AOC she stops voting with Marjorie Taylor Greene, quits the antisemitic pro-Russian DSA, leaves the anti-Democratic Party Justice Dems, passes a law and flips a seat blue we can think about it
Biggest scandal since Nixon unfolding before our eyes. You must focus national attention on this. This and the Musk stuff have highly charged connotations and strike at the heart of the GOP
Maybe don’t let a security guard stand in your way when the US Treasury is being ransacked.
(I don’t care if the security guards ARE Blackwater mercenaries!)
It’s a good start at opposition. But you all need to take a lesson from Republican’s response to Obama, be ruthless in blocking everything Republicans want and attack them relentlessly for being the party of rich elites.
It feels like you are just plodding along. Expecting everything is just going to be fine when in reality the Republicans are stomping on our country and our democracy. How did Trump fire air traffic controllers, and the Democrats aren't slamming him for all the air accidents every day? Make noise!
1/2 Just watched this talk at Morning Joe, and I must say, I'm shocked. There is a coup going on which also an be described as the biggest raid i the history of organized crime and the fresh elected chairman of the Democrats wants to talk about egg prices.
2/2 In Europe we pay twice as much for gasoline then you do. Kentucky is under water, but because for Democrats climate change is not a kitchen table issue, they rather want to talk about high gasoline prices.
May the tour give the new DNC Chair some more insight.
Not remotely enough. Every spare minute of every elected democrats’ time should be vocally and actively doing anything they can to stop the destruction of this country. If we are ever allowed to vote again, I won’t give a penny or vote to anyone who isn’t fighting this with everything they have!
Let's go Rep Jayapal! Reversing citizens united would we huge! Would never pass right now but at least constantly putting out the message that billionaires should get out of our elections would be a good boost for the democrats
I think it is worth calling out - yes, for 15 years flipping citizens united should have been top priority of both parties. But that you chose NOW. When Republican have majority in every branch!? We all know it has a snowballs chance in hell of passing... this is showmanship politics at its finest.
Every democrat should be involved and unified to ensure they can't push their agenda. Everything about it is glaringly wrong. How do you get off letting the SAVE act through with 10 abstaining and 5 siding with republicans?! There was no excuse for anyone to allow it through. This is beyond shameful
You need to release this every day and there needs to be media to go with it. Every single elected official needs to be talking to their constituents online about what is being done.
You should be asking @moveon.org and @indivisible.org this since they actually have plans, but the Democrats don't like their answer and are mad at us for asking.
You need to be doing more. You need to be vocal. Be as vocal as the other side is. Counter their misinformation with the truth and facts. Get AOC and Jasmine Crockett out and in front. These women are the future of this party and are not the same ol' same ol' (old white men- no offense).
Don't hold back. Play just as dirty as they are. They need to pull out every truck in the book to block every single nominee going forward. Every single bill. Make his life a living hell. Going home on break? Oh no we aren't. Play dirty. They have been. Going by the "rules" is why we lost
Democrats need to take DRASTIC action. Here's a start: There are 3 crossover districts in the House held by GOP reps: NE-2; NY-17; and PA-1. They need to lobby those reps. to break with the chaos of the GOP & support a motion to vacate the SOTH. Then join Dems in voting for a Democratic SOTH. NOW.
what YOU did not do: meet the urgency. URGENCY. At least remind House centrist DEMS that complaining abt an overzealous constituency as encouraged by Indivisible & MoveOn is NOT A GOOD LOOK. 🟥🟥
This is a small step in the right direction. These daily updates should be posted on EVERY social media platform AND on every elected Senator and Representatives' webpage. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Imagine if they'd done that during the Biden Administration's tenure.
So in other words you did nothing of substance and sit on your hands as a quid pro quo is happening in real time with the NYC mayor. What the fuck is wrong with you people!!?!?
Today is the 16th, what do you want to report was done on the 14th, the 15th and now the 16th - I get easier said than done, but you need to do more than report, take the news cycle!
Where are the democrats? Dem senators pushed for quick votes on quacks so they could have a 4 day weekend and national messaging is silent during the thurs afternoon massacre. How do you expect people do vote for you when you’re feckless? I’m obviously not donating a penny until I see fight.
what about the measles outbreak? the firing of the nuclear staff? all of the HIPAA violations that DOGE is doing to americans? someone needs to take a stand
Another reminder to be there Monday. Don't bail on us, the people are speaking and I want to see you out there listening.
No weekend breaks in the face of fascism.
You need to work harder and faster or you will be obsolete. You do see that, don’t you. RFK is coming for the psychiatrist meds — which, btw, do more than help folks with mental health issues, they help all sorts of people. Act like your lives depend on it.
These are great. Keeps these up. But the momentum needs to increase. The Democrats on the DOGE oversight committee are the energy and level we need from Democrats right now.
Only Arizona and Rep Jayapal are note worthy .. law suits are useless and duh .. they damn better have all voted against Kennedy .. but the Democratic Senators have proven over the last 4 years to be useless against a coup attempt on our nation ..pitiful
Here’s something else you should have been doing today. Screaming from the rafters about the corrupt bargain that the corruptor-in-chief made with Eric Adams. So bad that even DOJ prosecutors put in place by the felon, including Sassoon, resigned in protest. They have guts-show that you do too.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are not cut out to oppose the Republican party in a manner needed at this time. They're good parliamentarians, but they don't have the big personality needed to get people's attention
Banning political parties made Germany a one-party state and destroyed democracy in the country. This removed other parties as a source of opposition. All state governments were taken over. Hitler could centralise all policy and make sure different states listened to him and did as he wished.
You suckers better be studying McConnell's playbook hard. I want to see Dems use every dirty trick that that scheming little SOB used to cheat America during the eight years of Obama's presidency.
These daily notices are nice, but not nearly enough to meet this moment. Every single Democrat needs to get out there on every media platform and alert the American people that their rights and money are being stripped from them. Get spokespeople out there DAILY!! ALERT THE PEOPLE!
#Resist
Most of us don’t want to support platforms of the very same broligarchs who put us in this mess & are now poised to rob our taxpayer-funded treasury. They should go where their people are & stop enriching the enemy.
Regardless of how WE feel about those platforms, people are there. There is also daily posting on Instagram, but I’m not there, and while I’m not a fan of Tik Tok, apparently there is increased presence there too. Which platforms are you recommending?
This one, for sure. I really do believe we have to wean ourselves from platforms that are directly & intentionally harming us. If politicians & other major figures abandon them, others will follow. Legitimizing either meta or Twitter right now is huge mistake, imo.
Stop playing by the rules when your opponents aren’t. If they’re going to lock the doors on us, we need to start throwing bricks through windows and climbing in anyway.
I applaud every effort made by the Democrats to oppose authoritarianism & the oligarchs. However, we must do more, and at a furious pace, with passion & outrage to inspire the masses. Set aside a little of the decorum pls, and give the people meaningful advice on how to protest & resist (like AOC)
Please identify new leaders for Congress who know better than to give feeble, pathetic speeches during a Constitutional Crisis. If the party doesn't read the room quickly, you'll bleed more supporters. Look at who musters energy and follows through, e.g, AOC, Crockett, Pressley, Murphy, & Garcia.
Can you do something to shape opinion instead of just reacting? Don’t roll over bc something is “not popular”. TELL people what’s happening and educate them about how it will affect them. USAID is good for America & bad for China & Russia. Used to have broad bipartisan
Thank you for taking action. With that being said, every single elected democrat should be fighting like this is their first election they ever won AND their last term they are serving. Always listen to those who elected you. You might not get another chance playing it safe any longer.

Dear DNC, Thanks for the fundraising email, but FUCK OFF you won't see a dime of my money until you send me a detailed plan of ANYTHING
Oh wait she wore a fucking dress to the gala
I don’t follow them because they don’t deserve it any more
You have no clue what the DNC even does, and you hate Democrats and don’t want them to win.
What a galloping shock.
