You're tired. I'm tired. We're all fucking tired. We get it. Writing sanguine blog posts about current events is not enough. You are in a position to force change, so grow a gods-damned spine and do something about it for fucks sake. - ThreadSky

Right, I point this out and get "oh but ken has a plan." To me that sounds too much like "concepts of a plan" and I'm not impressed. There seems to be no real organization in the party.

milquetoast mofo's like Ken will be the final death knell for the dem party
the majority of his memo is just complaining abt how bad the orangedemon is- as if we did not know 🙄

Where is the plan. Seems like a lot of bitchin about the problem without offering any real paths of resistance. You are either collaborating with or resisting fascism

My governor @govpritzker.illinois.gov has been speaking out too. But why are their voices in the minority. I feel so helpless. Thanks for holding the line as much as you can.

I say this fully realizing _I_ write (occasionally) sanguine blog posts about current affairs. I'm a nobody, a normal mom with very little personal power in this situation.

Collectively, however, we can all come together and fight back. But we need strong leaders who'll fight alongside us.

each time I have said 'where tf are the dem leaders' current/past I get hammered by ppl saying (esp abt former leaders), 'they're just regular citizens, what do you want them to do'
we do not have the same bully pulpit as Hillary, Kamala, Obama, Clinton etc
the silence is deeply worrisome

no one wants to be the first. there are some fighting back though, like @betoorourke.bsky.social, @aoc.bsky.social and @raskin.house.gov who have been outstanding in their responses so far.

cailis.bsky.social•3 days ago

yes, and Jasmine Crocket is brilliantly speaking out
I cannot believe that every single dem on the planet, particularly any who have been in leadership are so silent, it's so disturbing

Hey, wouldn't it be nice if they introduced Articles of Impeachment? Or are they waiting for "we the people" to do that as well, even though we don't have the authority and they do?
