Now we know:

Fighting back still matters.

Standing up to Trump still matters.

Our voices still matter.

It takes just 4 GOP senators with some of their souls still intact.

I’m sorry. Have we not learned anything? What has fighting gotten Democrats? We suck at the politics

Pressure needs to be put on Hagseth; he's been credibly accused and is absolutely CLUELESS about Secretary of Defense. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/police-report-details-alleged-sexual-assault-trumps-defense-pick-pete-rcna181137

I'm gonna wait and see who the next nominee is before I celebrate.

bluewomanvoting123.bsky.social•143 days ago

Too bad the GOPQ Senators don't just make voting in secret a thing for the next four years. Would probs benefit taxpayers.

Right matters.

bewarethetattoo.bsky.social•143 days ago

Nominating people accused of sexual assault/predation in order to normalize your own atrocious behavior may not work out for the Manchurian Orange. Do you think Joe & Mika now wish to have waited a couple of months before groveling to Trump?

I wish congressional Dems agreed.

tedsan.bsky.social•143 days ago

Best thing we on the socials need to remember - this means getting out of our silos and fighting back IRL

danaiolos.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yep. Anticipatory obedience is a big no-no. With every action, please ask yourselves whether your compliance is normalising their abomination of governance. With every eyebrow raise, please consider whether acceptance equates to subservient acquiescence of their abnormal whims-of-fanatic-deviancy

kittykatcamera.bsky.social•143 days ago

Hell yes. It’s invigorating to be in the resistance. I booed North Carolina’s Mark Robinson yesterday and got kicked out of the gallery for doing it. I highly recommend it. Nothing beats a sense of purpose and they’ll never be able to take that away from us.

ginnyodudek.bsky.social•143 days ago

Thanks for being there. I'm immune deficient and can't be in crowds, but my heart was there.

sholahoon.bsky.social•143 days ago

Good will always win over evil. (Disclaimer, for the most part, maybe …)

diane-westcoast.bsky.social•143 days ago

It can take a long time until good prevails and in the meantime a lot of people can be hurt.

realimgroot.bsky.social•143 days ago

It will always win out if the AG wants it to win out.

deannazurek.bsky.social•143 days ago

Love this… it matters!

saj72.bsky.social•143 days ago

I think Gaetz dropped out cause tRump and his gang of thieves couldn't strong arm enough gop senators...just my take on it.

yrnlvr.bsky.social•143 days ago

And that's a good thing. A tiny sliver of hope.

drsallyryan.bsky.social•143 days ago

Respectfully, could we begin by fighting for our democracatic principles, fighting for the rule of law, fighting for accountability in govt? Could we instead stand up for those things? Maybe not have to say "their" names so often?

motherearth.bsky.social•143 days ago

I just mentioned this very fact to a friend. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

danpreston.com•143 days ago

It's key to establish right away that Trump is not all-powerful. He should be opposed at every opportunity.

joyfulforfreedom.bsky.social•143 days ago

LFG!!!! 60 days before our power wanes.

abilityrules.bsky.social•143 days ago

Tell your members of Cong what they should do on issue. Ask for a response. Members count msg and if they are pro or con. MAGA is quick to send a message. Don't let them drown us out.

mmarc1.bsky.social•143 days ago

beigeholland.bsky.social•143 days ago

I think we need to hear that. We need, also, the comforting voice of tv and social media hosts telling us it's going to be OK. Some of us are terrified of what's coming.

earthdaddy.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yes indeed

stephbowen.bsky.social•143 days ago

Well put. 🇺🇸

benschaeffer.bsky.social•143 days ago

lagging-indicators.bsky.social•143 days ago

Republicans standing up to Trump still matters. He could care less what we think.

yrnlvr.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yes! I just told a couple of family members that very thing. We fight!

maehemm2017.bsky.social•143 days ago

jackiegardens.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yes. We have the power of the people. But we must harness it wisely

zulaqi.bsky.social•143 days ago

Generations of my family had to fight back, stand up, to racists, just to carve a space to breathe. I can't imagine relatively comfortable and safe people uncertain about expending consistent energy against what they claim to oppose. I wish more "liberals" were as dedicated as the "conservatives."

klsmd12.bsky.social•143 days ago

Our safety is dependent upon fighting everything.

theoarzan.bsky.social•143 days ago

I’m sorry but no. If Democrats wanna win any election again, then we need to let Trump be Trump. Otherwise, this entire fascism thing was just academic

klsmd12.bsky.social•143 days ago

Trust me, I’m all about watching the people who voted for him get everything coming. That doesn’t mean we don’t resist where we can.

theoarzan.bsky.social•143 days ago

First of all, the “resistance” get us nowhere. Second, if you’re gonna do it cabinet appointees seems like a small scale way to go about. Confirm Gaetz. Let the American people live with a cabinet full of predators. This is when some may start to to say, ok that’s a bridge too far.

ofjacob.bsky.social•143 days ago

Uneducated magas prob won’t ever wake up. They’ve been conned, and the conned don’t want to realize they’ve been conned. I’m team resistance—weve got to organize and rally behind leaders like AOC who will fight, unlike rich elite establishment politicians

kuhiov.bsky.social•143 days ago

Just so I got this straight, by that reasoning how would WORLD WAR II have gone down?

Just let Adolf be Adolf!

(There’s a book you might wanna read called RESISTANCE OF THE HEART about nonviolent protests in NAZI Germany. Spoiler alert: the NAZIS caved!)

theoarzan.bsky.social•143 days ago

Sure champ. What did resistance get you last time?

kuhiov.bsky.social•143 days ago

Very good question! (The CHAMP sarcasm is a nice touch!)

Specifically, in RESISTANCE OF THE HEART, it saved the Jewish spouses of German citizens from being sent to concentration camps and murdered! That’s a win!

Otherwise, any resistance? That’s all of human history— and that’s a lot!

theoarzan.bsky.social•143 days ago

Otherwise they’re gonna keep saying “the media and the left are making it up.” As a black person, one of the things that infuriates me is when I hear black people say things like, “what have the Dems done for me?” They ought to see when the civil rights act is ruled unconstitutional

theoarzan.bsky.social•143 days ago

Look, I’ve marched. I’ve protested. I’ve donated. I made calls. But until you understand that the gop needs to be fully obliterated, your resistance means nothing. They’re gonna keep stacking the courts. My point is the American people and the minorities who voted for him need to see.

saintraccoon.bsky.social•143 days ago

That’s easy to say when you’re not in danger.

whatingodsname.bsky.social•141 days ago

I plan to remember this when time to reelect - or NOT - in the 2026 primaries. We need Democratic FIGHTERS.

As we have seen, there’s always someone worse waiting in the cauldron.Each announcement/pick worse than the last.Every position filled with someone who will pledge allegiance to DT.Not the Flag.Not the United States of America.Not Democracy.Not We the People.He’s probably bribing Paxton right now.

glotaub.bsky.social•143 days ago

The best revenge would be if Trump named McCarthy

realimgroot.bsky.social•143 days ago

Now I want to know how all this evidence against him (under oath) was presented to the ethics committee and yet nothing happened for YEARS. That’s what I want to know.

dilruba019.bsky.social•143 days ago

Don’t learn the wrong lesson, They don’t care what we think. there were just enough people in Congress who hated him

sassinine.bsky.social•143 days ago

Hate to sound negative, but what fighting back did WE (the Left) do that lead to this? He was getting push back from the right and likely would never have been confirmed even with a Republican Senate.

tina48.bsky.social•143 days ago

I live to be able to fight another day!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

out5p0ken.bsky.social•143 days ago

We will not obey.

marelifau.bsky.social•143 days ago

daffodildame.bsky.social•143 days ago

Yet the members of Congress that WE THE PEOPLE elected to represent us are the ones on bended knees not fighting for us and not standing up to Trump.

capesuz.bsky.social•143 days ago

While I'd like to believe that, I really think we need to chalk this up to how much Gaetz is disliked and the Senate (especially) was not going to approve his nomination

resistsfacism.bsky.social•143 days ago

Never give up. Never give in. Never give them your power.

As Kamala said, “When we fight, we win!”

Maybe not all the battles, but wars are sometimes long. I think of Ukraine and how long they have been fighting. They will…they must…win. They never give up.

karakono1.bsky.social•143 days ago

So why isnt she fighting????

resistsfacism.bsky.social•143 days ago

Something I learned from history; the best resistance is the silent one. Think the underground railroad. If everyone knows about it, then Repubs can kill it. If they don’t share everything, things happen. This gives me some hope. We’ll see….

karakono1.bsky.social•143 days ago

I pray you are right🙏🏼

resistsfacism.bsky.social•143 days ago

Me too…. 😉🤞

cpiranio.bsky.social•143 days ago

True!

dhlj99.bsky.social•143 days ago

R's are bare knuckle brawlers who are endlessly & breathlessly covered by much of the media. TFG never stops campaigning. Bad press is good press. D's consistently don't know what hit them & can't find a successful strategy to match R's energy. I'm all for going low.

sheilafram.bsky.social•143 days ago

Should we be concerned he’d be put in another vacancy or run for FL Governor?

bebe72178.bsky.social•143 days ago

That report is going to come out one way or the other. FL is about to become a wasteland. The immigrants that keep everything neat and trimmed and the fruit picked are going to disappear like the rapture. That may be just what he deserves.
