When our voices are silenced, justice by other means becomes an urgent imperative. We are AMERICANS! Our liberty was secured with blood, repeatedly. We will not sit down. We will not be silenced. We will not be subjugated. We will definitely not tolerate our hard-earned money enriching billionaires.
Some of them said they didn’t object to their king because they were ‘afraid’ of the ‘threats’ they and their families were receiving.
Looks like they’re starting to get scared of their constituents now 🤔
After Roger Marshall’s reception Sat. in a small red rural town I know we won’t see him again. He was offended by people from both parties expecting answers. I hate this believe what I believe or you’re the enemy or a democrat. They don’t want anyone to disagree with them. No thinking on your own.
It says a lot when elected officials are told to avoid in-person town halls. If listening to constituents is too uncomfortable, maybe the issue isn’t the feedback, it’s the actions prompting it.
Hiding from and lying to voters has officially become a signature Republican characteristic.
Along with smirking on camera, they are giving a vibe I would describe as
LOATHSOME.
And would allow them to pretend their policies are popular, that they have a mandate. No way is that going to fly with townhalls! You guys are doing great work out there!!
My R rep hasn't held a townhall since 2017. He is super safe and knows he doesn't have to do anything. Over 1300 ppl showed up outside his office this last Saturday to protest his lack of public events. It should be a requirement if you serve in congress. They are far too disconnected from us.
That right there is the problem. The incumbency success rate is very high in the House, it was over 96% in 2024, do that members of Congress rarely show back up in their districts except to campaign and sometimes not even then.
We need to identify those types, check their privilege and send packing
Cowards, every last one of them. May they NEVER know a moment’s peace again for their entire lives. They could put a stop to the absolute shit show of trump 2.0 but have chosen to play along. Fuck them all🤬🤬🤬
I heard on Friday that many Republicans in Congress had been telling other Republicans in Congress to stop the in-person town hall meetings and substitute them with stage-managed “phone call town halls” if anything.
Sean Duffy’s successor did an interesting thing. His in-person military service academy info session is still on the table but it’s to be in a small town of under 10k people instead of a bigger town more central to a larger proportion of traditional applicants in the district. Shame on the coward.

In OUR communities!

You can't bring a sign to a Facebook Live.
This is how they avoid you.
Not remote.
No tele-townhalls.
No Facebook lives.
Report to your supervisors--your constituents--IN PERSON.
Immediately.

So they need to show up in person to all town halls.
Again, too afraid to meet her any constituents
America you are being taken over by fascists and you are all watching and doing nothing!
The world will never forgive and never forget what you have done by empowering Trump.
