This was horrifying. Al Green is a hero and the only one with a spine. The rest of the Dem Party is weak and unwilling to fight for democracy or the safety of one of their own. Our country is being ripped apart by Nazis and they fight back with color coordinated outfits and little signs! Pathetic.
Proud to see so many...standing up, yelling back, showing signs of truth, boycotting. WELL DONE on all fronts...including AMERICANS getting into the streets to support THEM with our actions, words, feet, and signs.
Oh you don’t think his colleagues cute little signs and pink outfits was standing tall? It’s a disgrace he was the lone Dem to actually stand in defiance
I honestly don't ever want to ever hear the name of ancestor and civil rights stalward John Lewis come out of ANY white person's face again, and PARTICULARLY one's who actually have but refuse to wield power in ANY sacrificial, uncomfortable, or meaningful manner.
"We need to be civil and respectful of the new fascist regime, it's not cause we totally want what mr 47 wants, it's cause we want votes....OK we actually like what he says " every liberal
There was a perfect opportunity for them all to extend his protest. The moment the door closed behind him, another should have stood and shouted at the fascists, until the door closed behind them. Then another. So on and so forth.
It would have been a sign of solidarity and determination if every Dem had continued where Al Green was thrown out. But unfortunately, everyone sat there in silence.
Agree that he was the lone warrior last night. Disappointed Dems did not have a planned direct action of one right after the other. I felt nauseous having to listen to Trump's full speech without much interruption
all this Dem obsession with "decorum" kinda distracts from the actual history of congress, which is heavily informed by riots, fist fights, and sword duels.

History is written by the historians. This is not the same as being written by the victors. I mean, hell, there's a perfect example of this in US history: you know who wrote the narrative of the Civil War? It was historians sympathetic to the South. And that is how, despite their loss, the
'Lost Cause' mythology and the veneration of a slaveholder's rebellion became an established historical narrative, one which still hasn't been fully excised from popular understanding.
Not anymore. History is recorded by all of us. The world is too small now and the flow of information is too fast.
They haven't won anything. They are just temporarily keeping the seats warm.
History has been written by all of us as long as literacy has been widespread. The history we receive was written by the "winners". You have to go looking for the rest of it. Few bother.
Especially in Europe - its not quite clear in which way they will
As democracies, or as Putins puppets?
Without US protection China will take over Taiwan
So the Pacific region will change as well
The world is pretty much out of control, Climate Change will do its part
anatomy rights?? do we not believe in them?
honestly people what is wrong with you .
I respect Joe Biden in this entire address as he is the new president.
In 200 years, some white people will be mad when confronted about buying slaves for the second time In their families history by resuming the practice in 2027 after a 168 year hiatus. They will get upset and say it was all in the past and why can't we move on?
Remember. Only one guy in that entire room cared yo do anything. It's not just Republicans that need replacing next election. I want a total electoral takeover from New faces. If every old crusty shitlibs is still in that room next year and not replaced with some shiny new anarchists I will be sad.
Comments
Hopefully they do at the next opportunity... if there even is one.

All of them shouting about Medicaid, SS, NOAA...
Communist =/= bad.
Please take a moment for Congressman Green’s press conference regarding the shameful treatment of president Zelenskyy at the White House on 2.28

Also, holy shit.
I wonder why the response to him was so different from the response to this:
Thank god for people like him, Jasmine Crockett, and AOC.

Mind boggling how no one else stood up.
They won't win, because we won't let them.
So please in the name of the rest of the world, and in your own interest
Don't let them win!
From my point of view it seems that it has happened already 😌

Obviously they need to catch up on the series...
But like they say, if genocide wasn’t a red line, why would democracy be?
honestly people what is wrong with you .
