SECOND: FREEZE THE SENATE.

Call on your Dem senators to engage in political hardball. Blanket opposition and using procedural tools like rejecting unanimous consent and quorum calls to gum up the works.

@chuckschumer.com we are watching!

dzs42.bsky.social•21 days ago

Some of you may not remember how Senator Robert Byrd used Robert's Rules of Order to control the Senate. Sometimes for good and sometimes for evil but he knew how to jerk the body around by the scruff of its neck. Send your Dem Senator a copy and tell them to get to work.

Sent mine a note saying they better do something, or I'll do everything they can to make sure they get primaried.

I’m stuck with two Republicans though I email them regularly

THIRD: Organizing protests at your senator's in-state offices.

Toolkit here:

jmartinwrites.bsky.social•21 days ago

how will we know if someone in our state has already organized an action or not?

joekatz45.bsky.social•21 days ago

Check Mobilize and also reach out to your local Indivisible or WFP chapter. There should be details in the toolkit too

So looks like trader Schumer is not on the socials now .

FOURTH: Indivisible will be holding a protest this TUESDAY at 5PM at the Treasury Department.

zdroberts.bsky.social•21 days ago

Where are you seeing the indivisible protest?

joekatz45.bsky.social•21 days ago

They just announced it on the call! Not sure if the links is up yet

zdroberts.bsky.social•21 days ago

Thanks just saw the call.

Protests are pointless given the math. Quickest solution: stop spending consumer $. They can’t arrest, fire or dox you for that. No silly, selective boycotts. Shut the economy down and you’ll see immediate cracks emerging.

joekatz45.bsky.social•21 days ago

For the record, I see a lot of people in the chats bringing up 50501, which is organizing protests at state capitols on Wednesday. I do not know who they are, and if you have more information, please drop it in the replies.

innocentbystndr.bsky.social•21 days ago

Found very little about this group on Reddit. The linktree aims to various SM accounts of founders.

This is what I have seen about Wednesday‘s protest

frishermansfend.bsky.social•20 days ago

Also wondering

joekatz45.bsky.social•21 days ago

@rweingarten.bsky.social laying down the line that we're keeping ICE out of our schools. Some resources in the thread on what we should be asking our local school boards/superintendents to be doing:

rednecklefty.bsky.social•21 days ago

Randi said something great during the call (I'm paraphrasing):
In the face of the chaos, we need community.
In the face of the cruelty, we need compassion.

joekatz45.bsky.social•21 days ago

Not really an action item, but Nancy Hagans of @nationalnurses.bsky.social is speaking and I just realized they're on Bluesky

Let me know what you find, I want to dig in there myself.

Yo--let's expand this to the Dept. of Ed. Musk is in there right now grabbing data.

ilikehikes.bsky.social•21 days ago

Is there a flyer/website for this to share with DC friends?

joekatz45.bsky.social•21 days ago

They suggested they had basically just finalized plan, so I don't think so - but stay tuned, I'm sure they'll have something soon

joekatz45.bsky.social•21 days ago

Will probably also be up on Mobilize soon enough

Posts about a General Strike, too. It was the threat of General Strike during 2019 Government Shutdown that led to resolution. GOP leadership is AFRAID for workers to know their own STRENGTH!

Listen to @realnewsnobs.bsky.social interview with AFA President Sara Nelson @flyingwithsara.bsky.social

jkinneberg.bsky.social•21 days ago

Nelson: "I want to pick up on that point about how the attempts to divide us are going to be central to everything moving forward: going after immigrants, going after trans people.
These are also human beings. Our fellow workers are being convinced these are their enemies"

Please include this in your Docs. Fellow protesters! Please make sure you have plenty of American flags with you! The opposition will create a narrative AGAIN that we are other and that it's a take over. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2006/03/31/flags-become-symbols-of-polarizing-protest/

So for this one we basically need a bunch of signs (for in person visits) for

QUORUM CHECK

and

UNANIMOUS CONSENT

to commit that to our Democratic senators brains.

Anyone putting together Creative Commons ART on these?

ztopia.bsky.social•21 days ago

Nice straight-up

Freeze The Senate

A staggering 700,000 people marched in Germany this weekend in a massive show of support for defending our democratic values.

America, let’s join forces with Europe.

NOW!
