You want to take back the House in 2026? More Al Green, less insipid paddles and wearing pink. There. I said it. Do not @ me. YOU CANNOT CLAIM FASCISM IS AT THE DOOR AND THEN CONDUCT BUSINESS AS USUAL.

That paddle thing is indicative of the Dems messaging issue. They’re so out of touch, who’s leading this miserable strategy? That display using youthful vernacular was simpish
Maybe it’s just me but I would’ve much preferred someone like Congressman Al Green or Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett to deliver the Democratic rebuttal. In the time of fascism reigning supreme we need our best most ferocious fighters of democracy.
They should have walked out after Rep. Greene was removed! The optics of a half empty chamber and the clapping seals on the other side , would have sent a better message to the world.
Totally agree - they should have all supported and walked out with Al Green. They need to do something dramatic that will show they really give a damn about the country tanking.
That man is in his 80’s while senator Mark Warner still talking about respecting the office of the presidency. If this feckless, out of touch man and others like don’t sit his ass down and 🤐
Yes! Al Green! More of that! And to the younger reps: Give them more fight back!WE ARE FIGHTING ACTUAL FASCISTS. NAZI IS THE CLOSEST MOST ACCURATE HISTORICAL TERM TO DESCRIBE THE PEOPLE IN POWER NOW.OUR ELECTED LEADERS NEED TO BE GETTING PEOPLE RILED UP,OR WE ARE NOT GOING TO SURVIVE AS A DEMOCRACY!
Why was he the only one! Damnit! The only one! Can you imagine if they had ALL gotten up like Green? Would like to see Johnson try to clear the room! *That's* good trouble! Instead, the patron saint of D resistance is the eternally placid Merrick Garland.
Will the frothy right mock Green? Sure they will. So what! Does anyone really think the non-MAGA Trump voters can be won over by paddles?!?! If enough D's made a courageous stand, like Green, the non-MAGA just might see someone not acting like a career politician, but a fighter for a just cause.
It’s up to us. We’re the ones who need to make noise and take action. It has more impact. Personally, my energy is focused on Rs. We all need to work on get out the vote volunteering. There are important elections coming up.
My cousin’s daughter’s gymnastics club had numbered paddles at their tournament last year.
I’ve gone beyond being embarrassed by milktoast Democrats — I am outraged. 🤬
God bless Al Green, a true patriot.
Look, I like pink. I wear a lot of pink (when I am not wearing black). I am also pro-paddle, but not for the reason used tonight. If wearing pink helped vanquish fascism and a paddle to spank you fought fascism, there would be a monument to HD in DC.
Democrats went out of their way to get rid of Joe Biden in 2024 at the top of the ticket. If only they had that kind of energy to fight Trump. I repeat: Do not @ me. We are on the edge. And I said what I said.
This means nothing when you lose. So they raised money, but not fighting fist to cuffs and I mean that literally. My friends on the other side 🐂 💩 is feckless language. Punch those mofos in their mouths.
They should have all boycotted it and held town hall meetings in Republican towns everywhere. The media should have boycotted it too & televised the town hall meetings instead. They just aired Russian propaganda & lies all night.
Their true characters were made clear when NOT A SINGLE ONE accompanied their colleague in solidarity as he was escorted out. Hell, it didn’t even occur to them.
If this is a representative government, what kind of horrific humans are they representing by such cowardly, self-absorbed behavior?
I have to agree with you! I was hoping that one by one they would do what Al Green did. Now THAT would have been a good strategy. We needed some civil disobedience!

All opposition to tRump should’ve walked out when Al Green was REMOVED!!!
WTF?!
Not a single one appears with a backbone!! Ffs
It was a missed opportunity for the rest of the Congressional opposition.
A mass walkout would have made a strong statement of disapproval for Trump’s policies.
Like nothing anyone has ever seen before.
No one is standing up for us or our nationstate.
Guess we must figure out how to do it ourselves.
This is such a fucked time & the world is just watching the “fall of Rome” aka the USA!
We will follow his lead but some of us won’t be nice

- More 🔥🧨 roadshows that inform and activate folks at home.
- More explicit Congress actions like hearings, oversight, lawsuits, resistance.

Congress should wear camouflage everyday everywhere and fight for democracy like they mean it.
Fight Harder!
