We need to see patriots mobilize against fascism. Please bring the nation's attention to the attack on the very mechanics of our government. Our tax money and our Constitution need to be safeguarded.
How is it that pre-Trump Republicans and supporting this? Wtaf is going on?!
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it”.

No. Words won’t help anymore. It’s too late. This was needed before he was elected. What you see these days is the end of the United States. If no one forcibly remove Trump and Musk then at best the US cease to exist and at worst world war 3 start in a few weeks.
@jasmineforus.bsky.social is amazing - really impressed by how she's kicking ass and not afraid to call shit out - super intelligent and would make a great future gov/vp/prez
And yet they didn’t force their way in. It’s nice to see verbal pushback, it does nothing. They need to confront those that stop them from protecting us by pushing forward and barging in.
If you’re unable to make it to a protest today at noon. Please wear blue as an act of solidarity. If you’re going talk the talk you must also walk the walk. Fighting for a cause is rarely convenient but it is essential.
I really wish that @jasmineforus.bsky.social was no longer in the house. If she ever choses to run against Ted Cruz or Greg Abbott, she will have my enthusiastic support.
This is important because the banking Lobby is huge and if they believe that enough of us are going to start pulling money out of banks ( a run on the banks) because of Doge , they're going to start putting pressure on the Republican Party.
I love this but it could have been an immediate response last Saturday. We can't afford to take weekends 'off' any longer.
Between her and AOC, I think the dems really need to hand over communications leadership as well as giving them a bigger seat at the table making decisions.
Dems need to play by the trump playbook ... tell the people that they are stealing ss numbers to steal your money... trump is planning a sovereign wealth fund to play with your benefits and if it fails.. you fail .. you get nothing
Almost all names being extremely familiar because I donated to almost all of these campaigns when they were running for office. And you vote with rethugs and Federman sits this one out? What an bunch of assholes.
It is, even though voters let Dems down by handing the keys to both the House and Senate to the weak loyalists who do what Donald tells them to do.
This is why Congress races are crucial.
I only see our democracy being destroyed, run by criminals,and who knows how long this will last,because the criminals are getting away with everything and wipe there u know what with our constitution with no consequences!!!!!
Is it normal for past presidents/vices Obama,Biden and Harris to not say a word as the USA is in grave danger from Musk. I would like to hear from Kamala.
Actually it is. Part of what needs to be harnessed is public outrage. It also amplifies public anger and energy. It was that energy that Trump had backed off from his outrageous executive orders.
I see your point, but crying over spilled milk doesn’t make the milk return to the glass.
Yes - some EOs & tariffs may have been walked back for now due to outrage, but that was likely misdirection while other nefarious things are happening in the background.
for this onslaught - as if they didn’t read the other team’s playbook when it was handed to them long before the game - so they cannot seem to defend our turf or counter with any offense.
I’m not a lawyer, political scholar or strategist, but surely something can be done immediately.
If this is “misdirection”, it’s lousy execution because it’s not distracting anyone. It is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time. The Democratic Party’s wretched fecklessness is rooted in the mass exodus of southern white voters after 1964-65. Democrats have been running from the race ..
… issue ever since, while Republicans have been deploying white grievance as a political weapon to great affect. Trump has made white grievance the cornerstone of his messaging. (No dog whistle apparently
necessary).
Democrats were almost deliberately unprepared, for sure. But I don’t call rallying troops for political awareness and energy “crying over spilled milk” anymore than civil rights activists marching was staging a parade.
What’s done is done - that was my initial point. Yes - civil disobedience is effective, but I don’t believe that this dismantling of the government is a direct parallel to the civil rights movement.
Are people of color being treated horribly today? Yes, that’s never changed & now the harassment
is backed by a racist GOP that has empowered their followers. The hatred towards women, LGBTQ+, folks with physical & mental issues - it’s all accepted & welcomed under this Administration. Marches raise awareness & make bonds among like-minded people, but they will not stop a madman from
Couldn’t disagree more. “What’s done is done” is defeatist talk. And the dismantling of the government is directly related to race and therefore to the Civil Rights Movement.
Jasmine Crockett and the other democracy defenders lit it up at this protest, then shithead Schumer's pathetic turn at the Mic was a real downer. Chuck needs to pack it in.
That hug she got from Kamala Harris when Rep. Crockett was sworn in has come a long way!
This Congressperson is wonderful, the energy, spirit, mind needed in these times. Leaders like her WILL get us through this!☺️
We need this every day, hold a press conference and just tell the world what going on, why it's bad and what the democrats are planning. That's all mtg does since we just need to shout everyone down and don't let up to get our point across.
Hero.
As a foreigner I wonder where all the sometimes very trigger happy American police is? How can a South African walk in to a department and trash it, and nothing happens?
You need a Constitutional Police Force. That follow the law, not the politically appointed supreme judges.
Him making an appearance for his own sake. Chuck needs to get the hell out of the way. He's ineffective and self-serving. The future belongs to Crockett and company.

Shannon - thank you for your spine and leadership
There are 18 Republican senators up for election in 2 years.
Voters must fund their opponents with #target18
The Heritage Foundation says it will a bloodless coup.
Wanna take bets on that?
(I am one of them).
Keep it up Jasmine!
We have your back.

I know maga too well having grown up in a nest of them. 💥These ladies scare maga.💥
Jasmine and AOC are communicating machines. Who else would be good to get out in front of crowds? Anyone Jasmine and AOC recommend. 🤷
Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace
But we need ACTION
At last, the fire, bold and bright,
Starts calling wrongs out in the light.
But one strong Dem can’t end the war.
Democracy demands much, much more.
Are we waiting until everything is completely & irrevocably fucked, or…
I have a lot of respect for Jasmine, but a pep rally is not action.

The Dems were clearly not prepared

I’m very grateful to all in Congress who stood up at Treasury today.

As we are all seeing it is not easy to speak truth to power. Jasmine Crockett, you are one of the best of us. @jasmineforus.bsky.social
