I know there's not much you can do, so thank you for making a statement visibly. Your voters have your back on this.

Excellent response.

craigisonline.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm glad you walked out. More than what most of your colleagues did.
But tonight was the night for making noise and causing disruption. I saw only one man brave enough to do so.

I just got done listening to your interview on MSNBC. From one single momma to another, thank you for your voice and commitment to the People’s House!

rinaroft.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for representing Oakland so well. Thank you for fighting at least a little bit.

xenali.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you congresswoman, I live and work in your district and voted for you. Can you please tell me what you are doing to protect trans youth? Also undocumented folks? I searched both “trans” and “undocumented” on your website and found nothing. Thanks. I loved your speech about standing in front.

re-sssh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Following-would also like to know what you are doing to protect trans youth.

Thank you from Berkeley, Congresswoman Simon. Please continue to make good trouble.

Thank you from Berkeley

Its clear that the Dems couldnt even come to a consensus about how to handle tonight. Those who either didnt attend or left during the address should seriously consider starting a Dem equivalent to the Tea Party - might as well let the world know which Dems have a spine and which ones need primaried

misshay99.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes. Cause at this point I'm tired of Democrats being all over the place.

hittielove2.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you. I also saw you on with Michael Steele. We need more of your kind of energy in Congress!

kcampisano.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you. I wish more of your colleagues joined you.

@misshay99.bsky.social this is kinda what I was looking for...

misshay99.bsky.social•2 days ago

What did it do?! Democrats voters think they look weak. Because they do. So they alienate their supporters to do what?! I think people don't really get the threat level of what is happening. But we are soon gonna find out. Their will be books written abt their passiviness.

whosyrhoosier.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm not sure -did nothing impress you? Al Green?

I'm not sure what you expected/hoped for from the SOTU... You just seem mad at me.

Did anyone do it the way you wanted?

misshay99.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm not mad at you! I don't even know you to be mad at you. I wanted them not to attend to hold town halls to explain to the American ppl what is at stake. Sitting there for 2 hrs listening to lies him lie and name call is wasting time. As far as Al Greene sure I get what he was trying to do.

whosyrhoosier.bsky.social•2 days ago

I want all that too!

AND to defend the system, the structures of democracy. If they won't uphold those, then what are they fighting for? (I know what they're against.)

But what's left if we pull out ALL stops to defeat them, tear down all norms?

Will we be destroying the 'village' to save it'?

misshay99.bsky.social•2 days ago

The norms are all ready gone. In order for us to have norms, both sides have to operate within them, especially the side in power. Otherwise the village is already gone.

thefartingdoctor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Next time you walk out, give a press conference on the Capitol steps! Call trump Putin’s hoe like Jasmine Crockett!

My full statement here:

pineylonesome.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you. Dem voters are so outraged right now, because we don’t feel represented. More should have walked out in utter disgust. More booing, more screaming “lies.” We are so broken and need more brave loud voices in the resistance.

hittielove2.bsky.social•3 days ago

Tired of the lies.

lunalorax.bsky.social•3 days ago

Berkeley gal here. Thank you!!!!! I appreciate having a Representative with backbone. If you make good trouble, we have your back. Just donated $25 to your fund. I want to show the rest of them Dems that we support the good troublemakers!

lisaemily.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for attending and bearing witness. Please keep calling out his lies. We need to keep pushing back at the disinformation.

Thank you, Rep. Simon.
over here in CA-11 we could have used similar leadership tonight

Thank you!

mposberg.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you Congresswoman Simon. I saw you on MSNBC tonight. You are an incredible speaker, so refreshing - you have a fierce energy - which the Dems desperately need right now. More please!! I’m across the Bay. Tell us how we can help you rally the troops and save our Democracy 👏🔥

ohioduckfish.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for standing up and walking out! I did not watch at all, but knowing you stuck to our convictions is a proud and important moment. From Oakland with love.

annamayrie.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wish all the Dems would have stood up and walked out in unison! You’re off to a good start Rep. Simon - from Oakland!

agenthoneywell.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you!

adrianslaydrian.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for not being part of normalizing this nightmare.

misshay99.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you! Republicans are literally counting on our need for decorum and upholding norms. I'm afraid we are on our own and no one is coming to save us.
