Dems should do a rebrand from the Democratic party to the Democracy party, and go all in on voting rights, fair elections, and proper separation of powers as their main platform
See Sen Whitehouse and Durbin. They’ve been fighting this for years. They don’t have the votes thanks to the stupid voters. Lazy ignorant whiners who don’t lift a finger don’t know how it works but feel like they can bark orders. Jfc. The math is the math thanks to the uneducated electorate.
I pray, now that this tsunami has been started let it not stop until all of the issues are corrected. Our govt. has had broken components for a long time and that is how this was allowed to happen .....
We need to see minimum wage permanently tied to the cost of living. The huge tax cuts lead directly to inflation because CEO's and Major Stockholders are trying to milk that shit by raising prices, shrinking product and laying off workers. RECORD PROFITS
We need to see a cap on what can be raised and spent on campaigns. Running for office was never meant to be a trillion dollar business. Its insanity .... If they cannot run a campaign on a budget they should not be running for the office ....
Oh don’t forget y’all sent out multiple mass fundraising blast emails and texts. We ain’t funding it while the dem leaders do absolutely nothing. Schumer. Jeffries. Zero backbone. Zero ability to lead the party.
They have no rules or boundaries so writing letters ain’t cutting it! WALK OUT and meet your constituents in the streets and lead ACTION! We are withholding our money out here but that’s the only leverage we have. You all are elected officials just like them!! Do something MEANING AND IMPACTFUL!
We need substantive steps, not strongly worded letters. Anytime you put out one of these lists, it has the exact opposite effect you hope it will, and just shows us how much more you should be doing.
Stop responding with performative nonsense and STOP THIS!
They don’t have full control of Congress there doing whatever they can. Had people gone out and voted and not stay home this wouldn’t be an issue. Over 85 million decided to stay home. If all of those people went out and voted it would have changed everything. Reality this is all they can do.
Hey #1 contribution you could make to the political scene is shut up. We've heard years of you guys talking about how Democrats are powerless and can't use their dicks and we know, you guys are sad sack fucking losers with the loser mentality tattooed in your brain, no thank you to that.
I agree. I don't know why they're not taking a page out of Mitchs book. They need be as disruptive as possible. Slow everything down, filibuster everything, play dirty. Pull out whatever you have on these senators and congressman and air ALL their dirty laundry very, very publically.
First off, it's been barely a month and most of that time has been spent on nominations, which they functionally can't filibuster because only a simple majority is required to invoke cloture, which they do not have.
The GOP gets their message out, terrible as it is, while they are in the minority
The Democrats make excuses on why they can't do anything, and sometimes it's even when they have the majority...like when an unelected parliamentarian blocks something
Honestly, this election was most likely stollen by Leon. Watch Smart Elecrions video on YouTube! also, it's not ALL they can do! ZERO offense... just playing defense!! Fight w/swords... not slingshots!!
Actually, these are the correct numbers. All though at the end if the day too many voters didn’t think our democracy was in jeopardy and stayed home. How is that working out for them?
How are they wrong? They are ignoring law and order. Who is paying Musk's team. Did Congress approve it? They don't care about strongly worded letters. They just laugh and keep going.
That’s fine if they laugh. Hopefully, voters who have opened their eyes will see we didn’t just sit quietly by as the Republicans were dismantling democracy and vote them out. That’s providing we have another fair election
Legitimately, it would. Sadly, that's not what this is.
The dems are responding to the many demands for them to take substantive action with these lists, and these lists are primarily insubstantial. Its a show.
Yet more politicking against their base, instead of against the trump admin.
Most of it is still performative. That's a huge problem right now and the dems are responding to demands for action with performative steps instead of substantive ones. My complaint remains. This is nowhere near enough. They could do more, they must do more.
Good job, keep it up. All the dems should be shouting this, on the daily. People are feeling like the Democrats are "in disarray" or sitting back and watching things go to shit while they send out fund-raising emails and talk about "Bipartisan consensus"
The Democrat win might be the most significant sign of strength today. Ballotpedia lists all special elections coming up. We need to rise to this current challenge.https://ballotpedia.org/Main_Page
I live in upstate NY- used to be part of District 21 before Elise Stefanik got more Republicans added to her district. Hochul will probably not allow a special election because of the proximity to Election Day in November. Elise won’t resign until after Apr 1. Special election
this is a great start to demonstrating action. thank you. actions need to include, unfortunately, hard ball in the edges at a min. but, i’ve been asking for this type of summary before i would give funds again. great start!!
This is performative and useless. Stop playing by the rules that no longer exist. This is a hostile takeover of our government. Dems need to treat it like one. Where is leadership?? Where are daily articles of impeachment? Where are arrests? Why aren’t Dems countering propaganda??
Israel is a fascist state established in 1948 on occupied Palestinian land and through the continuous genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.
Over the course of 2024 hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people, mostly women and children, were massacred by bombs supplied by USA.
I don’t disagree, but i do wonder what you specifically want them to do? What rules do you want them to break? To what end? This country voted for this.
I want them to stop allowing them to do illegal things without consequence. Musk or his people could be arrested on the local level not the federal level. Doing illegal things even if you’ve been given access is still illegal.
I don’t really believe that. I think we were taken. Too many things are starting to crop up that sound crazy but then I think about how fast they called it on election night. He doesn’t have a mandate.
I agree that Democrats need to work harder, be more aggressive, and stop playing by the rules. However, let’s not forget that every single republican is supporting the Musk/Trump takeover of democracy.
Meanwhile,Trump/ Musk are getting ready to dismantle the judicial branch of govt and put in loyalists.The constitution is fractured and weaker because of project 2025's Russell Vought and the Heritage Foundation. Will they ignore courts? Probably.Then what contemt? He controls DOJ and military.
Call me when House and Senate Democrats pledge publicly to withhold any votes to fund the government or lift the debt ceiling unless all DOGE acts are rescinded and Musk testifies before Congress under oath.
Uhhh... They have said that but it doesn't matter if they don't have the majority 😂. Almost no Dems if any are backing his noms yet they get confirmed.
I'm 40+ years a systems engineer / manager. When we acquired a company, we'd get the access from the old staff and and start turning things off. When people started screaming, we knew we just broke something important, so we could decide what to do. Meantime, no one got paid. Sound familiar?
Obama worked for years and did his best for as many people possible.. John McCain Was only Republican to back Obama.. I worked to get Jerry Ford elected, one of REAL , caring, moral GOP leaders
Thank you for this update. While needed, wouldn’t it also make sense for the Democrats to give their own vision statement and plan that juxtaposes the Project 2025 and message that 24/7?
This has got to stop. No widely visible pushback, no messaging plan, no daily/hourly contrast of issues and behavior. Who ARE the party leaders? WHERE ARE the party leaders? If Republicans are not challenged, the perception is that what they say true - on WHATEVER NONSENSE THEY PUSH OUT.
We did it, Westchester! And in order to make it happen, neighbors were out door-knocking in a snow storm. THAT is what resistance and grassroots action are all about.
I know the situation in Ohio, but maybe he is not the best one to be demanding that Schumer do better, when he wasn't able to himself. I am just so tired of people criticizing everything any one does, no matter what they do. It doesn't help, and a lot of times is unrealistic bordering on delusional.
This American is demanding Schumer “do better”! But he can’t in the new climate. He’s just whipped and beat and should give the mic to a younger leader who’s actually a fighter, not a career politician. Schumer is weak af.
I was at the Treasury demo last week. Schumer was not helpful. He couldn’t read the room. It was as if he was looking forward to the election in two years. It was disappointing and some were screaming “the coup is here now.” Jasmine Crockett was spot on..
I've never found Schumer to be a very effective speaker. He may be a brilliant man, but there have to be many other senators that can communicate better than he can. Democrats need to be able to get the American people to buy into their policies. Time for Schumer to step aside.
Next impeach tRump. Remove him from office. Arrest all his co conspirators, find them guilty and send them to high security federal prison. Guantánamo comes to mind. Or maybe reopen Alcatraz.
That is nice, but tell me do you actually think Fascists give a shit about your bills? Do you think a strongly worded letter will bring them to heel? To me this seems like pissing at a racing frieght train and expecting it to stop, when we need to blow up the damn tracks before it crashes.
Write to the people who represent you in your district and in Congress and tell them you will never give them any more money and you will never vote for them again, & you’re going to campaign against them, going door-to-door in your neighborhood and show they are responsible for high egg prices!
lol
A. Already have told them.
B. I am a disabled vet, you are assuming I have enough money to donate, that's kinda rich to me
C. there is an average of 5 miles between doors aroiund here, my entire towns population is 300ish
I understand where you’re coming from. I’m a disabled vet from a very rural area also, but they don’t know how much or if you did donate. Some want your vote and some of them don’t care if they have your vote, for example, Cotton. Bronze star No V for valor, got it for good planning.😏
So 👏🏻 Much 👏🏻 This 👏🏻 are strongly worded letters and bills going to pay my bills when Medicaid/Medicare & Social Security are gone? I am 60 and was disabled by Covid! Also can we stop H5N1 before it makes Covid look like a day in the park?????
EXACTLY, WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR JOB, THERE'S A BUNCH OF WEAKASS DEMOCRATS ON THE HILL AND THEY'RE NOT FIGHTING HARD ENOUGH FOR US. WE DEMAND YOU GET IN THE GAME AND STOP PUSSYFOOTING AROUND.I SEE THE REVOLUTION COMING ARE YOU WITH US..
I am an old cold war vet and not long for this world, been terminal for years, every morning is a surprise. I am in for as long as I have breath left, but I fear too many Americans are soft and in denial. We face a hard road, time to screw your courage to the sticking post.
You are so right about soft Americans, they absolutely hate being uncomfortable. So I'm guessing they will have to really experience it before they want to do anything about it. I hope it's not too late cuz they are moving fast at dismantling America.
Democrats claim 5 things today. Meanwhile, since Trump has been in office, his cronies have taken over the Departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, Education, State, and so many more are on the way. You knew about Project 2025 before the election. Have you done anything to prevent that?
No because they know it will benefit the same people who have funded their campaigns too! The only difference is Dems smile sweetly as they allow the Republicans to do the dirty work!
It's nice to have a small win, but trust me, there is nothing coming out of Arkansas that we want or need. I live in AR. I believe Sarah Fuckface Sanders is planning to run for president.
nope, I don't.
because do you understand that isn't always the case if it functions well, there are compromises, and respect for fellow parties?
we've lost any semblance of cooperation with the cult of MAGA.
This sort of thinking only aids the opposition. If you can't rely on your politicians you have to remember your neighbors and community aren't just going to give up.
Exactly..plus this has been brewing since the Civil War, the Republicans used to be part of the Democratic party, they were called Democrat Republicans, after the Civil War the two broke off, and the South is rising again!
Look more closely at all the laws in southern states!
Great so you want to live the handmaids tale? Are you the wealthy men or one of their slaves? Make NO mistake - that's where we are headed. Wake up and fight
Whether or not you're right about your premise, you said it's over - it's not - it's just beginning. Saying it's over is just giving up and so many aren't giving up. Every one of us has a choice in what comes next. You encourage nothing. Nothing. Your comment is nothing.
Thank you for this. I'm with you on this. I will continue to fight. Even though it has been a roller coaster ride for me. We have to ignore the hopeless/helpless and discouraging talk. People are trying to cope and having this kind of talk doesn't help. I ignore that kind of talk and move forward.
Acknowledgement is not acceptance. It’s important to not promote the idea that there is a political solution to this when there isn’t. People talking about midterms need to talk about protests and civil disobedience. Resistance is not prevention, it is causing friction and making things impossible.
You're right. I'm fighting like hell and won't stand for anymore hopeless/hopeless and discouraging talk. It's been a roller coaster ride for me emotionally, but I won't give up. Don't give me that's the reality and I have to accept it and give up. Nope, not on my watch!
You get a rise out of when they start losing their jobs and people start getting laid off because of the tariffs and price’s going up. We’ll get a chance to get rid of some Republicans in 2026. All of The House of Representatives, so that’ll be our chance to get rid of the traitors.
I think this is distributed now daily, by the DNC. I saw one from David Hogg and now one from Malcolm. They were just elected deputy chairs of the DNC. So this is something new they are trying. I agree that it is needed if not just for us to keep going.
Yes and it will help remind the bomb throwers that there is daily work going on. It may be quiet and it may be out of the public eye but it’s often the most effective if we want a good end not ruins. People think lawsuits happen by themselves instead of people working daily to gather info and file.
Yes. And blasted out daily on every social media platform. The Republicans are all over social media...Democrats, not so much. They have a lot of catching up to do. I hope these young, impassioned leaders take charge of the information spaces. Speak to the youth.
It's out daily. I said the same a little while ago which suggests it not getting enough attention. I also think we need better messaging than this. Not just pointing this out but I agree with getting in front of the people EVERYDAY, as someone else suggested.
The fact that less than 1/3 of the people who LIKED this post RE-POSTED this post speaks volumes about why we're here.
WE NEED TO WORK AS A TEAM
FOLKS!
To get anywhere, they have to provide a formal written statement to every agency, etc. they are trying to move. It may seem irrelevant, but it's the legal base for all further action. That's their job. We have ours, and today NIH ADMITTED under court order freezing funds was ILLEGAL. Funding is ON!
Yes they're probably actually Republicans because that's what they do to get elected!! 😡😡 Democratic party should be doing the same. Switch parties after they get elected
Seems like the new DNC chairs are looking for younger candidates. There's an educator in his 40s running for Gaetzs seat and David Hogg is one of the new chairs who's always mentioned getting more progressives to run for office
they need new fresh strong voices
Malcolm Kenyatta comes to mind
he is really inspiring
the Dems have some great up and comers..but if tWump and Muck get their shithooks in more firmly there won't be a 2 party system or a democratic republic
The Dems are guilty of leaving good candidates or incumbents rotting on the vine bc of less than stellar giant bankrolls by millionaires /billionaires.
Too often have witnessed it nationally for the past 20 years.They reap what they sow:failure
TheGOP have no fucking conscience for social classes
Formatting digital content to be available to humans with different body abilities communicates that each human no matter how the body works or doesn't, is important 🩷 #AltText #Resist
But isn’t it crazy that “ Harry Bolz” is in control of our government?! Sadly the bigly money lovers will let a man child play with billions of lives, literally
it is not enough, have you stormed the departments that are being taken over, have you arrested elon musk for what he is doing? no, sit on your asses and vote, don't risk your opportunity to grift of the american people,
This is a good start on a shadow government. Now, do this every day and also create a second one that lists "Things that Presidents Trump/Musk and the Republicans have done to make your life worse". Get this out in front of people - hold a daily presser. We are here to help you fight!
1) Gabbard still got confirmed.
2) Will not pass
3) Good for Arkansas, I guess.
4) And what will be the concrete results of this? Oh right, massaging a wooden leg.
Maybe try to actually do something effective to stop Elon's takeover? :/
Call your representatives and complain, if they Republican and you didn’t vote for them, they won’t care unless you say you’re gonna campaign against them in your neighborhood.
I'm not even American, otherwise I'd be out in the streets, torch and pitchfork in hand. Calling reps sounds fine, but I don't think you realise the gravity of the situation. Norms no longer matter.
That's good to hear (that you understand, not the worrying part, which is unfortunate). I just don't understand because we'd be up in arms over here, yet at the protests that I've seen organised the attendance was not that high. As an outsider with no role to play, I have no words to describe it.
The way I see it, there's only way out of this. To get people out in the streets and defend your institutions, because obviously, the system as it exists can't stop this on its own.
Thank you so much! Can you guys do this like every day Mark Elias at democracy docket handles a bunch of court cases and to the people who subscribe to his journalism, he provides them with a list of court cases and what happened with them each day.
Congress should do this with everything that you guys do in that house and Senate keep records show receipts. The true American people who care about this country and who want to root out ALL CORRUPTION within our government want transparency! Want to see where our tax $ is going!
Indeed, @marcelias.bsky.social does more tangible shit in a typical week that all the elected Dems in DC do in a month. There are 215 in the house, 45 in the senate, so 260 total, and they basically took the month of January off.
The funny thing too is, most of them are ATTORNEYS!
Why don’t they help him??????
Rand Paul is a fucking eye doctor and likes to pretend he’s a fucking Anthony Fauci!
Repubs foiled your majority with a minority before.
Don't play by the rules, play by breaking the limits. Leave them wasting time in court because of obstruction and resistance instead of silently letting them win by toeing the line
The oligarchs' bot and troll farms are working overtime to keep the minds of that chunk gaslit with upside down narratives... And they're too stupid to understand it.
Furthermore, they've been programmed to think they are actually the victims of something.
It's going to be up to us. Get yourself availed of the 2ndA while you still can and learn how to use it. I'm thinking of learning how to use a ham radio for comms
🎤I said that Democrats need to be playing this on the floor tomorrow to let Republicans hear a child putting Donald Trump in his place and watching how small he begins to look yet they haven't found their spines
🎤😂😂 But what?
I didn't say it. This is something that they caught the child telling Donald Trump on the hot mic.
I could not believe that he told him he was not the president.
Yes, I know that. The kid apparently says what he thinks and the parents let him. He had to have heard something like that from perhaps Elon or the mother.
🎤Its going around on Instagram but all you have to do is go to the interview turn it up and you will hear it. Or you can Google the hot mic or that presser
Take it to the streets. Go back to your districts and do town halls, protest at your state capital... Be visible. Show courage. Put the pens down and fight!
I’m in one of the newly drawn democratic district in Alabama and I’m giving Shamari Figures a chance to get settled before I really start hounding him but I have wrote him saying I expect more. Get in front of a camera and show anger or something to let us know you’re fighting. I wrote Britt 4x 😒
start organizing their constituents for rallies and they could also get on the same page and vote NO on everything that republicans put forth like republicans did to Obama when Dems had majority in 2009. The problem with Dems is they take money from billionaires and they want the tax breaks too.
That’s not the problem that’s a necessity since the citizens United ruling. You can run a campaign like Bill Clinton did anymore it takes hundreds of millions unless you live in a safe place like AOC and Sanders. But yeah they need to start holding town halls every week
Bernie Sanders ran 2 national campaigns successfully on small donors…the dems literally kneecapped him both times because they were beholden to the liberal elites, Bernie would have raised their taxes. It can be done and it is the only way people feel energized and a part of a movement!
Yeah he didn’t win though. Bernie didn’t even win the primary because he depended on young voters to come out, and they didn’t. I like Bernie but let’s be done with the delusion the established democrats are the reason he lost. Most people hear D socialist and concentrate on the socialist part.
The Democrats need to get creative. Create a Think Tank. We elected them to protect us. This is a new era, so they must DO SOMETHING NEW other than just talk and write letters.
Fortunately we have a new DNC chair (Harrison was terrible) and he knows the problems, is younger and wants to expand media coverage. He just got nominated so let’s hope he can turn the ship around. 🤞
I’m donating what I can to ACLU and a PSA PAC. I’ll check out those sites but organizing here won’t work very well. Alabama is VERY gerrymandered, poor and mostly stupid until you get to Birmingham
Korean politicians scaled walls and screamed at thugs holding really big guns and eventually physically forced said guns away from their own faces. Weird how Democrats are all fucking pussies in comparison.
Yeah that was dumb. I would do it just because it slows down judicial nominations too. I think they get it now. They been holding the floor as long as time allows. I’m just at a loss for what power they can use or have
uh, no. they just fast tracked and confirmed RFK TODAY so the senate could adjourn for a long weekend in Germany. they do not "get it now" in any capacity
Get a message. Fight. Get on every podcast. Hold town halls with voters have media there. You got to start taking a stand. They fought Trump last time and won. Waiting till Midterms hoping people have had enough is not going to fly this time. They need to get a backbone.
I agree with all that except it’s a tad bit different this time. The Republican Party is totally owned and letting him take their power so fighting is harder. But you’re right, they have to figure out how to message better.
So something about fluoride, that’s what we accomplished and are cheering? Looking at our party leaders is like watching a 7 year old still in diapers wondering, will they ever figure shit out?
Thanks for all the hard work you and the other Democrats do! Keep fighting and resisting with all your might. Honestly, how do some Republicans think renaming Greenland is our right? Did they buy the deluxe edition of Manifest Destiny or something?”
Compared to what dodgy and maga did this should be embarrassing. Chuck and Hakeem need to stop gaslighting their constituents. Its not a messaging issue its the lack of good policies. Hakeem talking with jon Stewart was embarrassingly out of touch, like this meme
More microplastics inside my body. Yum, yum. If you are black,brown, old, unhealthy, DEI hire, Democrat, Trump wants you eliminated by whatever means. No room in this country for deadbeats sucking up Federal funds that could be used to enrich his Loyalists. He'll tell you it's just "common sense".
Dear Social Media staffer: Go to Settings/Accessibility and turn on Require ALT text before posting. ALT text helps: vision-impaired; people for whom the image won't load; people for whom the font is too small; search engines. DO IT NOW.
Love the unity to vote against these horrible cabinet picks. Republicans only have themselves to blame when many of them quit or are fired in the first few years
If you agree don't tell another Democrat thank you. Also, support 100% Democracy on my website below. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Take meaningful action. Initiate investigations, subpoena the hell out of people, propose bills to protect Americans. They will be opposed and fail in some of these efforts, but they need ti bombard the fascist regime and keep them occupied and distracted.
Sadly, I think your response proves my point. A single action item that day. Rapist-in-Chief’s been in office 100 days, dismantling democracy every single one of them. We have 45 Dem. senators and 215 Dem. Reps. If they were 1/2 as active & organized as MAGA, we’d be making loads more progress.
I’m sending you a strongly-worded letter asking you to stop doing whatever it is you’re doing, and if you don’t stop, I’m gonna write you another even more strongly-worded letter. So there!
Thank you for these, Representative Kenyatta. With MSM not reporting these things, it seems like they're trying to cause a sense of hopelessness. Your posts make it more clear, the work all of you are doing.
Why did you all ignore the potential evidence of him cheating? Why didn’t you have any objections during the certification? Why didn’t you uphold sec 3 of the 14th amendment?
Thanks for getting the word out. We are behind you. Please mobilize us. We can 1) call our reps, 2) assemble, 3) boycott, 4) write, 5) strike .... Let us know.
This should be reported by every single news outlet. So many things are happening in this one instance. Does Elon say this to the tv or when he is with Trump in private? Does Trump say this to Elon? I'd really like to know, but it's hilarious that the kid let it out of the bag either way.
Fabulous, Good information…keep it coming!👏 Let’s work on promoting informative podcasts that can immediately shoot down the LIES of ‘not my president’, the 💩GOP and apartheid musk!
Why in God's name did the Democratic senators vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbar? Please don't come out and say we need to make a deal. Tulsi is a walking security threat for the country.
I've encouraged people to do whatever they are able to do to actively take part in resisting what Trump/Musk is doing; write, call, email, march, give of your time, organize, contact your Representative, etc..
Above EVERYTHING else, learn some Constitutional law!
An important question for now is, "What are we fighting FOR?" Not what we are fighting against, but what exactly is it that we are fighting for? Maybe the dialogues will help with that.
Trump is "flooding the field" and using Executive Orders to circumvent Congress and Senate because he KNOWS what he's doing is ILLEGAL.
In that way he can remove our Inspector Generals (those who make sure the gov. is doing work legally), then remove Air Traffic Controllers, USAID, etc.
And finally, for now, let's recognize that what we see in America is actually a global phenomenon, that is, the rise of global authoritarianism. This is a new era that we have entered, but we have entered new eras in the past and at least survived.
Third, we have to recognize that (a) the Cold War is over and new people need to come into power in America, (b) our old system, pre-trump, which was led by bureaucracy, was failing many people.
Second, we all need to "think what we are doing". There are and always have been ideologues on both the left and the right, people who just adopt an idea because others have adopted it, and forget to think it through for themselves to see what they themselves believe and are willing to fight for.
I have a few thoughts on this. First and foremost is to simply carry on dialog with other people, in real life. In person dialog creates community and sharpens ideas. From Hannah Arendt style thinking, "Only power can oppose power", and power comes from "people acting together in public".
Feeling pretty good about my decision to do exactly the same a few years ago. I saw the writing on the wall. Glad to watch the mess from afar. The entire process was a LOT harder than I thought it'd be, but in the end worth it.
I'm out myself, but I'm working to have things ready for my sister so she can possibly flee here if necessary. It's been pretty terrifying seeing things deteriorate the way they have with very little opposition. Plus at the speed they have, i worry if i am too late.
I'm currently in Japan. I have lived here 7 years prior, so returning here wasn't too difficult. I can't say it would be the best environment for my family, but considering from what I have seen from back home, they would at least be safe, and they would be able to have a normal life here.
Their power is only limited because the billionaires that fund democrats want those tax breaks too! And what did I do … I spent two hours calling congress and my governor. What did YOU 👆🏼do?
Don’t rely on the people whose literal job it is to protect your rights as they sit on their hands like cowards you a private citizen should single handily fix our comically horrendous political system yourself
I get your cynicism. Honestly. Part of the solution is getting information out to people. I think they need to be going out in middle America spreading this message personally. This is a long game. Information is a currency of its own.
We don't want to hear about anything other that *what you will do about Trump and Musk defying court orders*. This is an era defining moment. Whether or not we descend into fascism depends on how this one thing plays out.
This is good and should be blasted across every social media platform daily. Dems are horrible at messaging. Advertise your wins. Scream about them every day to every open mic, over and over. We're in an attention economy. Act like it.
Hi! Last week I created a new feed #AltText if you search it under Feeds it should be the first option. Everything on that feed should include alt text as well as providing alt text in the comments of posts without it. Please give it a follow/pin it and I’d love to know your thoughts
Why aren’t you and other Democrats leaving X and coming to BlueSky like your constituents did? Why do you keep giving in to him? LEAVE X! By coming here you will increase other Dems to come here. Why aren’t you helping build a platform for Dems? Enough with X already! You look like a joke over there
All you have to do on X to get left is say something straight up and factual about Musk being a duck with an inflated ego to match his Messiah Complex.
And Mitch McConnel voting with democrats!
To little too late old man.
Where we are today is a large part your fault.
You don't get to vote your conscious now.
Or try to save your soul
Love this - we need more of these types of summaries of what the Democratic Party is doing to protect democracy and try to help all Americans. Keep it coming!
Look - we support you guys, but writing letters while the fascists, imbeciles and traitors burn the country to the ground, spit on our allies and stab Ukraine in the back? It’s not nearly enough. Dems better wake up or become 21st century Mensheviks…
I understand what you are trying to do and heard you speak about this so thank you. Are you posting to other sites like X? All of us here are on your side already.
While we appreciate trying to fight them the “right way”…we are
way past that. We have to fight fire with fire and act like they have in congress for decades.
That is THEIR JOB in this fight. It MUST be done and done well. WE have OUR jobs. DO THEM. Courts have theirs and just won a MAJOR victory. NIH admitted IN WRITING the freeze on their funding was ILLEGAL. Funding is back ON!! Asking people to do the wrong job is not helpful.
-And Gabbard is now in charge of our intelligence
-Warnock’s bill won’t pass
-AR Dems made some difference
-Sure hope that letter was “strongly worded” 🙄
-Special election, good
Dems need to be on radio, podcasts, TV every single day all day long. GOP would have spent the last three months on hunting/Sports programs sharing all the weird stories about RFK Jr leaving a dead bear in Central Park, blending live animals to kill that nom. Just an example of how out of touch u r
These are great. But the DNC needs to work with the congressional Democrats to create a messaging machine! It doesn’t matter what y’all do if there’s no process to get it out beyond social media posts. People need to be lined up to go on new shows, TikTok, YouTube, etc
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social did great with Fox News folks last year. I'm not saying only him, but him and a couple of people he coaches on how to deal with their bait-n-switch tactics.
They don’t have a message bc they’re not doing anything effective. Introducing an Act to cap the prices of Rx drugs?! That has about as much chance of passing as my three legged cat does of winning a marathon. Voted vs Tulsi Gabbard? That worked well. We need bold action now.
And fundraising with tech billionaires! Jeffries just went to meet with tech billionaires and then came back and got on tv and said Dems hands are tied … it’s not a coincidence!
So, Jeffries found out that whatever he was going to promise tech billionaires for bribes (oops, campaign contributions), had already been promised to them by Trump?

We need strong direction and a big media counterattack.
Elon Musk held a press conference from the Oval Office while his toddler taunted Trump.
We are categorically unsafe.
Get up & Fight or be replaced.
We need substantive steps, not strongly worded letters. Anytime you put out one of these lists, it has the exact opposite effect you hope it will, and just shows us how much more you should be doing.
Stop responding with performative nonsense and STOP THIS!
We need EVERYONE to do their part to mitigate the damage done.
Wake up! This is affecting the entire world, not just the USA.
The Democrats just make excuses.
We have to do so much better, people
The GOP gets their message out, terrible as it is, while they are in the minority
The Democrats make excuses on why they can't do anything, and sometimes it's even when they have the majority...like when an unelected parliamentarian blocks something
The dems are responding to the many demands for them to take substantive action with these lists, and these lists are primarily insubstantial. Its a show.
Yet more politicking against their base, instead of against the trump admin.
Most of it is still performative. That's a huge problem right now and the dems are responding to demands for action with performative steps instead of substantive ones. My complaint remains. This is nowhere near enough. They could do more, they must do more.
I have faith for the Florida and NY elections, I really do.
Over the course of 2024 hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people, mostly women and children, were massacred by bombs supplied by USA.
Quit bitching and organize a protest
Or kept Musk’s nerds out of government buildings.
I don’t see the point in yelling at NYT or politicians on BlueSky.
Introducing a bill doesn't help if MAGA is in the majority and in lockstep.
Our democracy is under attack. You need to start FIGHTING for it.
Where the fuck is VP Harris; she needs to be the only spokes person while the rest do whatever it takes to get democracy back on track
?!?
Do not know why @kamalanation.bsky.social
MIA, but she should be the only voice.
Please lead!!!

I'm not knocking you... I live in Fucking SC. You could run Jesus against Lindsey Graham and Lindsey would win.
Don't blame Tim. Blame the dumb fuckers who who were stupid enough to vote for Vance.

A. Already have told them.
B. I am a disabled vet, you are assuming I have enough money to donate, that's kinda rich to me
C. there is an average of 5 miles between doors aroiund here, my entire towns population is 300ish
We're ready for pitchforks here and you all are writing hollow letters and bragging on socials.
Can the Arkansas senate democrats tag out with the national senate? They actually did shit
because do you understand that isn't always the case if it functions well, there are compromises, and respect for fellow parties?
we've lost any semblance of cooperation with the cult of MAGA.
What about conferences with constituents in red states who've been hurt by tariffs?
Dems don't know how to do theater... and that's what's needed to break thru the noise!
Eln Msk has control of our financial system.
It’s already over.
77 million of us were dumb enough to give Trmp the keys to DC and here we are…
Look more closely at all the laws in southern states!
How is it not?
Msk has us A L L by the financial short hairs. He will rule or he will blow it all up.
And certainly no one seems interested in even slowing him down….
We needed to start fighting smarter a long time ago.
https://generalstrikeus.com
Financially starving Tesla into ruin might weaken Msk or will it anger him into worse behavior?
Strikes, protests and boycotts… it’s all about crowd size. We know that.
"What leverage do we have, its the Republican's government, we can't do anything"
- Jeffries
It's only over if we put our faith in these spineless pushovers to save us.
It seems like Democrats feel helpless and without a strong leader — and overwhelmed with the amount of chaos Trump is creating.
It’s important that Democrats see positive progress, because the MSM sure as hell won’t report this.
But it would be helpful and encouraging to send a daily update out.
WE NEED TO WORK AS A TEAM
FOLKS!
Y’all are Feckless losers
Flip those seats and Democrats take the House and the Trump administration is in for a world of hurt.
Where are the Dem celebrities who turn out voters for those three elections?
How much damage will be done by then?
And will their be a turn out if half the party thinks the effort from the Dems so far are useless as fuck.
They complaining about calls; and stupid enough to leak that shit.
Just clown behavior!!!
Rep Shakowski (D-Il) said more women don’t seek manufacturing jobs because the word “man” is in manufacturing.
Yeah.
Not kidding.
Don’t elect clowns to Congress.
why can't dems find more youthful candidates..
Malcolm Kenyatta comes to mind
he is really inspiring
the Dems have some great up and comers..but if tWump and Muck get their shithooks in more firmly there won't be a 2 party system or a democratic republic
https://bsky.app/profile/ignuit.bsky.social/post/3lhp2s2schc27
I know..he sent out an email to supporters
🤫lol
Thankyou for your trouble though
I sure hope these young bloods get a chance to kick ass
Seriously how many incumbents have primary opponents? Dems are too afraid of someone new runs they’ll lose.
Apparently taking said risk and losing is worse than the slow bending over and taking in the ass by the GOP agenda.
Too often have witnessed it nationally for the past 20 years.They reap what they sow:failure
TheGOP have no fucking conscience for social classes
That's the bone they threw us, huh?

Formatting digital content to be available to humans with different body abilities communicates that each human no matter how the body works or doesn't, is important 🩷 #AltText #Resist
17 state AGs are trying to revoke Section 504!
Carry on.
2) Will not pass
3) Good for Arkansas, I guess.
4) And what will be the concrete results of this? Oh right, massaging a wooden leg.
Maybe try to actually do something effective to stop Elon's takeover? :/
Why don’t they help him??????
Rand Paul is a fucking eye doctor and likes to pretend he’s a fucking Anthony Fauci!
Repubs foiled your majority with a minority before.
Don't play by the rules, play by breaking the limits. Leave them wasting time in court because of obstruction and resistance instead of silently letting them win by toeing the line
Furthermore, they've been programmed to think they are actually the victims of something.
If Elon Musk son has the stones to tell Donald Trump to shut the F up then why in the hell can't Republicans?

I didn't say it. This is something that they caught the child telling Donald Trump on the hot mic.
I could not believe that he told him he was not the president.
It is starting to circulate more on Instagram but yes it was caught on a hot Mike he said that and also told him he was not the president.
Problem that happens when people let their Ivy League degree represent them and refuse to get their hands dirty.
They need to be mules… stubborn to give up on democracy
Letter writing is a pathetic relilc of a political era long gone.
Oh wait, they funded a genocide. I guess they did do something... 😬🤡
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

This isn't going to look good going forward.
Yup!
Democrats: Yeah well... We wrote a strongly worded letter.
Above EVERYTHING else, learn some Constitutional law!
Action takes many forms.
In that way he can remove our Inspector Generals (those who make sure the gov. is doing work legally), then remove Air Traffic Controllers, USAID, etc.
What are YOU doing?
DO SOMETHING and stop waiting for other people.
Together we stand as one,
Freedom's light will rise.
Voices must unite,
Raise the banner, speak the truth,
Change begins with hope.
Already exhausted and it's only 3 1/2 weeks
To little too late old man.
Where we are today is a large part your fault.
You don't get to vote your conscious now.
Or try to save your soul
Americans are done with your empire
way past that. We have to fight fire with fire and act like they have in congress for decades.
-Warnock’s bill won’t pass
-AR Dems made some difference
-Sure hope that letter was “strongly worded” 🙄
-Special election, good
Bottom line…local Dems doing effective work, national Dems writing fucking letters.
DO BETTER.
Did anyone pass civics?
This is why elections matter.
Walk out!
Dear lord, this is a coup
Stop sending politely worded letters
