It’s a tactic that gains the GOP ground. They get paid off (in terms of Dems wasted time and resources, approval of GOP cabinet nominations etc.) for simply ceasing to commit crimes. Like an exasperated parent, giving their child a lollipop in the supermarket if they’ll only stop screaming.
there will be massed public assemblies at all the state capitals and many city halls, including Tucson, in all 50 states tomorrow at noon. https://50501movement.carrd.co/
@lolaoliver.bsky.social - thank you for this. I’m just a British ‘observer’ who believed the Dems were THE Party for the people before the election. Since then…Nothing - just “words”. I genuinely fear for a country and people I’ve always loved and, so far, the Dems are letting the people down.
Honestly, in the last 10 days, I’ve had text chats and phone conversation with American friends who are so terrified they’re desperate to leave. I’ve been sending them info on how they could possibly come to the UK to feel safer. I’m a big old Bear but I’ve been in tears for you all. 💔
I appreciate so much the support from afar and you being there for your friends!! I hope they find a way out!! I’m also looking to move abroad, I’m just torn, because I’d be leaving behind my family and flying solo.
That’s the worst of it Lola, what they’re doing is decimating communities, families, friendships…all of it. I’m currently looking to see if there’s some immigration policy (in ANY country) that would cover for a whole family to be moved and rehomed - because that kind of info can be a bit vague.
Oh, no thanks necessary (but gratefully received). I’m just “this guy” scared for a people I’ve always loved - even some of the crazy (but nice) ones, bless them! 😂 - and wanting to give as much moral support or help that I can. 👍❤️
AOC, any way you could go MORE public? Say TV, on the news, write to newspapers ( any will be shocked and honored to get a letter from yo, or an article). Social media is NOT uniting the way we need. We have too many choices and face it..you are preaching to your choir. We need old-school unity!!
They’ve already done enough damage. We absolutely should file a lawsuit — hold them accountable for recklessly putting our personal data at risk! They think they’re above the law, but it’s time to make them pay! #HoldThemAccountable #ProtectOurData #EnoughIsEnough
No, they understand the assignment perfectly. Do nothing, because this is the last gasp of the wealthy to remain ultra rich, Musk is in this to seize the country. We are at war. Even AoC does not understand the gravity of this. It’s time for actual militarized action.
Elon & his merry band of DIGITAL BROWNSHIRTS. We are witnessing an electronic coup. Fight back! Confront the incels. Picket their lodgings. Write "Douche" on every Tesla you see. Egg Elon. Harass Fox News employees. Shout down GOP members. Protest and, most of all, shame those who have no shame.
If republicans can do this when in the minority then our elected Democrats better stop the niceties and play the EVERY offensive card at their disposal to block these criminals and protect our democracy and it’s citizens‼️
Is it possible that mElon and his computer boys are getting our voting info so that they can cut off the 💙 resisters and keep giving the 🔴 cultists benefits?
I’ve worked in Govt 37 yrs & am pushing 70. I can say that the most remotely comparable Constitutional crisis was the Sat. Night Massacre in ‘73 when Nixon ordered the firing of the Special Prosecutor trying to get the tapes. That was a little squabble compared to today!
AOC, do you realize Musk has YOUR bank account numbers from direct deposit? YOUR social security number? YOUR addresses? YOUR information?
He has all of your info and so do the boys working with him.
YOUR info is just walking around with him.
Maybe do something like have him arrested?
Just sayin
Stop playing by the rules - they try to overwhelm you with chaos, so take it volley and give them chaos, stop to react, and act and start to declare your independence - village, city, county or state - Washington anti Trump? Declare it's independence and imprison Trump as DC became it's own state!
What really ticks me off is that some are still voting like they will get some benefit for supporting the nominee. There is no quid pro quo in a hostile takeover. You don’t vote for the nominees of the party stealing your kids’ private data and dismantling the government!
Damn straight!!! Please don’t get caught up in all of Trump’s idiocy while Elon is in the background destroying government agencies and democracy. THAT is the most pressing issue. If we don’t stop that, there will be nothing else to worry about or repair.
Even Kelly has been disappointing. Voted against the PRO Act, voted for the Laken Riley Act, and has voted for almost as many Trump nominees as Gallego. They’ve lost the plot.
It really seems like only AOC and Bernie Sanders can be trusted to do the right thing. All other Dems are wishy washy. It’s sad that I can no longer trust my own party.
If they know that these baboons are going to be confirmed anyway, no matter what they do all the Democrats should just get up and walk out of the room and refuse to vote.
So can you elaborate on what the Dems are doing? So far Musk walked into the State Department and took over the computers. Why was he not arrested and why did the staff working there allow this to happen?
@aoc.bsky.social just a thought, but DC law states that you can perform a citizen's arrest if you have sufficient evidence that someone is committing a felony. You just have to detain them, unharmed, until DC police show up. I think a few hundred protesters should be sufficient to kettle them in.
PLEASE someone in the Dem Party stop putting Sen. Schumer and his sedate, monotone voice out front!
He will never reach all those voters who abandoned your party and either stayed home or voted for Trump bc they want change and Dems just keep giving them the same party they can't stand.
***REPOST - CALL TO ACTION: Congress members are not allowed access to the ED building. GO HELP THEM PUSH THROUGH FORCEFULLY!!!! *************The headquarters of the United States Department of Education (ED) is located at 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20202.
For those hoping the courts will come to the rescue..now that we hv a maga controlled 3 branch uh, 'govt' -scrotus knows nothing will happen to them for supporting a facist takeover.
They no longer hv to pretend they are about US Law -- for, all.
Yes, no votes on anything. Block with procedural events to slow them down. There aren't any nominees that anyone wants. Get musk out of our government along with his hackers!
What you can do today AND everyday!
Call your representatives in the House and Senate -
Local and Federal.
A call for each item you are outraged about.
Even if they are Republicans, they need to know how you feel.
One call daily to each....
Everyday a different subject.

House Democrats must use their power and refuse to cooperate on government funding at the next opportunity. We see that the funding won't be used according to law, and is being pawed by Musk & his brogrammers.
Dems normally do all they can to avoid it, but it's time for a shut-down to limit Trump.
Wasn’t the responsibility as a party to block everything when they were nominating conspiracy theorists to lead health, QAnon supporters to run the FBI and a white Christian nationalist to be secretary of defence?
Now “what do you win if you win?” is a bunch of programs back online and no leverage.
Can someone PLEASE get a memo over to the Senate? They don’t seem to want to hear that we are unhappy with them voting for racist immigration legislation and confirming fascist cabinet picks.

Trump’s 2017 tax cuts are expiring. They need $4 TRILLION—they’re slashing funding, shutting down programs, and handed control to Elon who is installing hardware, mining data, and pulling the plug on essential services.This isn’t about efficiency.It’s billionaire robbery.
That’s not enough! You have to take action and attack. They are not taking a match, they are seizing it! This is a take over, it is a war. If Musk or those kids were spies, they’d be in cuffs right now and they should be. They are all foreign agents tied back to Musk. We act now or lose - period.
Suppose you go to your employer on Monday and switch your withholdings to having six dependents and then just don't pay your taxes in 2026? Hell, they're defunding the IRS, right? There is no good reason to pay taxes to a corrupt gov't that hates your guts and wants you silenced or dead. NONE
Absolutely! We can’t sit back and let them burn this country to the ground. It’s time to fight back, block every destructive move, and protect what’s left of our democracy! #FightForAmerica #StopTheDestruction #BlockTheChaos

And if no one stops Elon Musk and Donald Trump, where will they go next?
He has all of your info and so do the boys working with him.
YOUR info is just walking around with him.
Maybe do something like have him arrested?
Just sayin
31 million voted for Trump
30 million voted for Harris
1 million voted for other

Mark Kelly seems to be the only good Senator that Arizona has given us in a long time.

99 more to go. Fight every step of the way!

At some point blocking everything you possibly can becomes the bare minimum.
