Thank you, sir. I’d hug you if I knew you. You are a grounded individual among many that are out of touch.
You are one of the few in government that still acknowledges your role as a messenger and fighter, for, and of your constituents.
Sir, I don't reside in the hearts and minds of your fellow Democrat representatives, so I can't speak on them. But from my viewpoint, you were the only brave person in that room. Thank you.
If they won’t, then we need the ones, like you, who are willing to stand up for their constituents to call for a general strike and a march on every major city!
I remember when another member whose last name was Greene with an E protested loudly on the floor and nothing happened to her. Could it be because she’s a white Republican?
I believe Rep. Al Green was Censured for what many of His house members believed also? But wasn’t able to Actually follow their Oaths? And place personal gain before Our Country? God Bless Him and Efforts 💙
I have not seen one speck of "proper conduct" from the Republican Party. They should all be censured. Thank you, Representative Green, for your courage and unwavering commitment to our Consitution and democracy.
Thank you! People complain about old geezers in Congress, but that's not really the problem. Look at Al and Bernie! There are old and young members who are worthless. We must elect the ones who stand up for us!
Imagine trump humbling himself like al green did—imagine MTG or Boebert doing so. He had an important reason. The people. He wasn’t just booing like a child. How do we reconcile the reality and hypocrisy in America?
I also want to point out that Republicans have Zelenskyy crap for not wearing a suit but they're ok with MTG wearing a stripper jacket to the Congress floor.
The guy who plays Beetlejuice on the tour released a list of jokes he really wanted to make (but wasn't allowed) in the show after that incident. My favorite is the last one. 😂
Isn't it? My friend illustrated them all and brought them with him when we saw the show, but the actor was on vacation that week. I hope he gets them some day.
Also I find it hilarious you brought up that incident while I have the pfp that I have. 😂
They want to throw Zelensky to the wolves that’s the only logic. He prostrates himself in front of Trump and Trump says he’s hard to deal with. Russia doesn’t want peace, it would not be bombing civilians if it did. Trump believes that lies repeated are lies eventually believed.
Oh no, I do not doubt why they have double-standards. They gave Obama shit for wearing a tan suit. Anybody they don't like, they will pick any stupid thing to attack them for. (And yes, they want Russia to destroy Ukraine and Zelenskyy.)
Jefferson's words in the Declaration of Independence, in which he states of citizens living under a tyrannical government that ''it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.''
I respect and admire your dissent. I appeal to you, however, to never beg President Trump or Elon Musk for anything. We are not without power we are not without agency we cannot beg. We must stand up as you said, not to beg but to fight. We cannot ask for understanding from these men or expect it.
I just want to thank you, for doing what's right. For speaking up for those like my sister with Intellectual Disabilities, who depends on #Medicaid for her care. I have now words for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. As a lifelong Democrat, Apathy & Complacency is not the answer. @dccc.bsky.social
✌🏽💔🌼
You were the only one who bravely stood and spoke for those who have no voice right now. Your colleagues staying silent and then censuring you should be ashamed. They will be the cowards in the history books.
Thank you for being a courageous voice. A voice that represents the people. A voice that echos our own thoughts and discourse. You are a beacon of light in these darks time. A pillar of strength under the weight of greed and cruelty. A true leader. Thank you. Thank you for your civil disobedience
Representative Green: Thank you for your principled stance against this evil monster and the cowards who follow him. They must be stopped. You, sir, are a hero.
Simple language, aggressive, inspiring statements are what is needed to reach people coming out of the cult of MAGA. Until the rest of your party learns this they are doomed to repeat the same mistakes that got us here.
Thank you Rep Green!!! Please continue to be an example of how the rest of the Democratic Caucus needs to behave towards a head of state that refuses to follow the law or behave in a civil manner. Trump counts on everyone else following the rules and laws he breaks.
You are ridiculous in your actions. Nobody cares about you and beliefs... New world order. You can play the race game, but nobody cares. Everyone is equal, and please stop playing that card. It makes you just look stupid
Everyone is equal? Really? We're just going to deny the "Hattians are eating the cats and dogs" comment? What about the Puerto Rico disdain? You're either blind to reality and the Nazi regime you're supporting, or a Russian Bot.
You are ridiculous in your words and logic, this post is literally blowing up (popular!) and you came here to say no one cares about Rep.Greene or his beliefs??? You made effort to come here, out of your way, to say that you don’t care?
I don’t believe you, but moron this later, hold on…
Instead of censuring Rep Al Green, the D’s need to take note. Rep Al Green stood up against hate while everyone had little signs and color coordinated. I’m sure his actions live rent free in the oppositions minds more than whatever else the D’s did. Don’t change Rep Al Green.
GREENE - you need to direct people to support HAKEEM JEFFRIES. He is the leader NOT YOU.
This has brought the party down
NO one is talking about
-US cutting off intelligence
-Tates rape army
-Missle collaboration with usa-russia
-Gay being scrubbed from history
all because they are focusd on you
This line nailed it for me! “Seeing Conservative people, that I have great respect for, do things I never thought they would do”. It shocks me everyday. That shock can cause confusion on how to respond, how to fight back. Thank you, Congressman Green for your example of righteous incivility.
Thank you Rep Green. You are an inspiration to others who must stiffen their spines and speak out. Yes, stand up and shout out the truth in the face of tyranny. We are with you my brother.
We could do with a hell of a lot less decorum and a hell of a lot more enforcement of the Constitution. Were are we with Amendment 14 Section 3 RE: Jim Jordan, MTG, trump et. al? I don't remember a vote allowing those insurrectionists to hold office being held in the House nor Senate.
Well said Congressman Green. You’re a shining example of what it means to be a public servant. It’s such a relief to see someone standing up to the Wish-tator. Keep fighting and stay safe.
Wonderful words by a courageous and righteous human being: Al Green.
"We have the cards... If you continue with this line of behavior ... you will be more than impeached... There may be a senate who lives up to the ideas in the Constitution.. you are the Goliath but there are 435 Davids..."
Thank You, sir, for standing up for what’s right. The fact that no other Dems followed you in disobedience is beyond disappointing. And the fact that some Dems voted in favor of your censure is a blow to my morale. We can’t even stand together, how are we to stand against a wanna-be dictator?
Politicking ? Fair elections with Dictator Trump ? WTF
We are under attack and everyone but the stupid have figured it out. Dictator Trump is Putin’s Trojan horse.
Impeachment by May 1st is nonviolent solution to Putin’s invasion. Btw Musk is wiping the hard drives of our democracy.
Thank you Congressman Green for standing up to the fascist regime that has hijacked the USA.
Good Americans with a spine & a sense of duty seem to be in short supply in your government these days!!
Never surrender!!!
Instead of droning out We Shall Overcome which doesn’t match or work, they should have been jamming and rocking to You Can Call Me Al because we are all Al now.
Paul Simon probably would have shown up.
Please consult people outside your bubble for better ideas.
If you were a white woman from CO or GA, cosplaying as Cruella de Vil, your act would’ve been applauded and celebrated. Instead you were censured, even by your own party.
I’m not from Texas, and I’m no longer a Democrat. No matter, thank you for taking a stand. For all of us. You have my support.
Thank you, for every word and syllable spoken. You are the embodiment of the bravery, character, and strength we all need. The relief it is to know we have at least a few representatives that have kept their heads and used their voice.
Comments
Democrats who joined Republican Congress members in telling an elderly Black man, whose constituents will die without these programs, how to behave.
That's how this looks.
That's how it is.
You are one of the few in government that still acknowledges your role as a messenger and fighter, for, and of your constituents.
We need the rest of your party to do the same.
If they won’t, then we need the ones, like you, who are willing to stand up for their constituents to call for a general strike and a march on every major city!
Lead us and we will follow!
Every Dem official should follow his lead and speak up.
"It's better to stand alone than not stand at all."
Let courage metastasize through the chamber, and get the right things to happen!

Thank you for standing up for us, the American people.
Thank you!!!
Why are they NOT productively fighting for us?
You are a hero!!!
The clip, from Jan 2025, is a perfect example of what a WEAK AND FECKLESS DEM LEADER LOOKS LIKE
We are living through the breakdown of our democracy and this tool is completely unaware.
You sir are a hero and Patriot 💙
God bless you for standing up for people that have little or no voice.
America is proud of you!!!!
I also want to point out that Republicans have Zelenskyy crap for not wearing a suit but they're ok with MTG wearing a stripper jacket to the Congress floor.

We're still waiting for your colleagues to do the same. I hope your action gets them onboard soon.

Or maybe Hakeem can babble on about swinging at the right pitches while holding a paddle that says we'll discuss disagreeing about this one.
All respect to you Mr. Green.
