these fuckers aren't getting a dime from me ever again. honestly. all my money is going to mutual aid, abortion funds, etc. This is cowardice. This is white folks expecting Black folks to be their shields. This is white women wearing pink jackets performing activism while a Black man gets hauled off - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

So far NINE DEMOCRATS vote to censure Al Green

Craven supplication.

Mr. Green stood up to the fascists. That was the door opening. The fact that NOBODY followed him out fills me with shame and anger.

I’m all out of donation dollars this week, ActBlue. Don’t call me, I’ll call you.

(Except Mr. Green. I’ll stand for him)

Individually Ds can suck, but as an organization they’re decent. We need to up the primary game to get rid of the worst offenders, but cutting D support only helps Trump

ccsharps.bsky.social•51 days ago

Do they think that because performative shit works for MAGAs it will work for us? It does not work. They have only succeeded in making me much angrier.

ericafails.bsky.social•51 days ago

I mean, performative shit would have worked- if they all stood the fuck up with him that would have ruled. But this? What even is this???

bluememe.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s desperate cowardice, seeking assurance they will be eaten last.

scottrod.bsky.social•51 days ago

We're from the UK and had never heard of Al Green. We have now, found him on Bluesky and followed him. No surprise to us here that the politicians standing up and standing strong are Black.

petpluto.bsky.social•51 days ago

Jim Hines is in the safest district in CT and he’s one of the 10 Dems who voted to censure Rep. Green.

What’s even the point of electing Dems in seats with a +13 point advantage if they’re not going to use their safe positions to take stands?!

Fuck the Democratic Party. They’re beyond spineless.

petpluto.bsky.social•51 days ago

HIMES.

Oh the agony of autocorrect.

skizits.bsky.social•51 days ago

What the flip????
All Democrats need to have Congressman Green's back.
No excuses!

slothandenvy.com•51 days ago

It was bad enough when no one stood up with Rep. Green, but it double damned them when 10 voted to censure him today. Fuck those people.

They keep bombing me with fundraising texts. I keep clicking to report them as junk & delete. Not getting a dime until I see spine.

Tell them we “stand up” w/Al! ❤️

He’s the only Democrat who actually DID something. The rest sat there, in performative pink, with their little paddle signs like they were at a Christie’s auction.

Beyond sense and reason. Past dereliction. Beyond cowardly. Pure compliance, period

dana309.bsky.social•51 days ago

You’re in the Progressive Party…not the Democrat Party. Moderate Democrats voted for Trump.

The sooner progressives realize this, the more focused the agenda will be.

olliepop45.bsky.social•51 days ago

I am a white women who is completely disgusted. Strongly considering switch to Independent.

grachellest.bsky.social•51 days ago

Unfortunately, independents are disenfranchised and cannot vote in primaries in some states. Just a consideration before you make the switch.

olliepop45.bsky.social•51 days ago

Good point but we need to do something. Dems are doing NOTHING (except Crockett and Greene).

maybeitsme.bsky.social•51 days ago

Wtf was the pink color coordination (that wasn't even coordinated well since no one was even close to the same shade and scattered around so who could even tell it was coordinated, if they hadn't said so who would have noticed) about anyway?

snarkysteff.bsky.social•51 days ago

Unbelievable cowardice from the whole Dem Party. Unbelievable.

briscocountyjr.bsky.social•51 days ago

I wrote to my representatives in Congress yesterday and told them to forget about any future donations to them or the DNC until they grew a pair.

datafran.bsky.social•51 days ago

They view fascism as a fundraising opportunity. Any proper protest might get in the way of their centrist, spineless greed.

countessofcandy.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’m know! What is this?!

msmeeshie.bsky.social•51 days ago

I dropped the Dem party years ago and registered as an independent because of things like this.

Neither party deserves loyalty as neither party offers it in return.

samson0223.bsky.social•51 days ago

We need more viable parties but we know they won't allow that to happen, needs to be like the EU, fuck this big tent shit, I'd rather sit outside in the cold than share space with people that throw anyone not milky smooth under the bus.

post their names. They are people to vote out.

estarianne.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yeah I got to that point a few years ago but I think more of us need to. I give money to Working Families Party and to abortion funds.

angryblacklady.bsky.social•51 days ago

Imagine if every single Democrat had walked out. Or made security throw them out.

Bunch of cowards.

danifroom.bsky.social•51 days ago

For a brief second after Al Green stood up, I thought he was just going to be the first. It'll be the last time I put an ounce of hope in the Democrats.

mariavictoria.bsky.social•51 days ago

Exactly. I can’t believe any of them stayed once that happened. But this vote!? Just infuriating.

coneydenizen.bsky.social•51 days ago

P.I.N.G.

jameslp.bsky.social•51 days ago

Vichy Democrats.

madgemlaments.bsky.social•51 days ago

Agreed!

Some are compromised as much as the rethuglicans.

Some might be on epstein’s list.
Some tamed by citizens united.
Some on putin’s leash.
Some are Reagan republicans in dems clothing.

Fuck them.

joyousbee.bsky.social•51 days ago

This 1000 percent this. Everyone should have walked out or gotten thrown out. Why are they so into doing nothing while Rome burns?

spellfire.bsky.social•51 days ago

This. Right. Here.

mustelidmaven.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was hoping that they would follow Rep Green, each taking on a point, thereby stopping it every few minutes. Or all become very vocal at once, therefore difficult for the Sgt to bounce ppl out … but no. 😒

froebull.bsky.social•51 days ago

That’s exactly what should have went down. Even if not planned, after seeing Green stand up and get removed, wait 30 seconds or a minute, then another Dem stands up to be tossed out; repeat until out of people with spines.

Green deserves praise, not censure. We are in the upside down.

iwassick.bsky.social•51 days ago

I am unfollowing accounts today for "Cowardice".
Your's is not one of those accounts.

jwrex742.bsky.social•51 days ago

Based off what AOC was talking about about the other day, I expected them to walk out. Not hold up bidding signs and golf clap.

theunknowncritic.bsky.social•51 days ago

And the exodus to the arms of MAGA continues. Gonna go all Gavin Newsome on us?

seamiracles.bsky.social•51 days ago

I had to call Marc Veasey’s office after he pulled that bs with Biden. I told them I will knock on every door and talk to every one of his constituents to make sure he is replaced when he is up for re-election. They need to be replaced.

@kenmartin.bsky.social no money to the 11 with no spine to vote no, all the money to people running to primary them. Get on it.

100%. 1000%. 1,000,000%.

They are actively helping the regime.

gaildrakes.bsky.social•51 days ago

Imani, what the hell is going on?! Can you tell me, please?! I hold no illusions about this messy-ass nation, but I still stay shocked.

Friends have told me I reflect too much on people’s “reasons why” and I gotta just look at what they do, but…

What is the Dem worldview that makes this okay?

gaildrakes.bsky.social•51 days ago

I have seen college sophomores - with financial aid packages threatened and justified fears of police and ICE retaliation - do all they can to bend the damn arc toward justice…

Meanwhile these Dems add insult to our friggin Constitutional injury?!

algocompsynth.bsky.social•51 days ago

Every week brings another gut punch. Last week, it was Trump and Vance ambushing the President of an ally on live TV, this week it was Democrats attacking a Black man who called out one of Trump's lies. What the Hell were they thinking?

420attychicago.bsky.social•51 days ago

They can all fuck right off with their performative allyship. We need to be in GOP faces, fucking up literally everything. Voting NO on all republican legislation, actively disrupting every joint session or speech--making those guys drag us all out in plain view. Play ping pong on ur own time.

augustadsays.bsky.social•51 days ago

Slotkin voted for Trump nominees. Someone should censure her.

mistykamala.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm sick of these spineless democrats. This country is being burned to the ground, and instead of being a united force, they censure one of their own???!!😡
These 9 cowards will be primaried, that's for damn sure.
