Try boosting Florida democrats to your hundreds of thousands of followers so we can take the speaker of the house back….why aren’t you doing that? Sure seems to me like it would be doing something 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My assumption is they are maintaining decorum because they are perhaps waiting to see if they can regain some modicum of power in the usual pendulum swing derived from the feckless masses after the self inflicted pain?
Hey @democrats.org @housedemocrats.bsky.social put strong dems like @repjasmine.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @maxwellfrost.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social in charge to start some good trouble and actually get stuff done!!!
Amen! Stop sitting around doing nothing. Come on put your heads together and make a plan to stop Trump and take our country back. Let’s help Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Please explain to me why Jeffries had to be the minority leader? Probably basic poly sci stuff I missed but more specifically “What now”? He’s not an effective leader. Not for these times. We’ll call his number when the country is more stable. We’re kinda in need right now.
More and more democracy dies every time Democrats remain silent or fail to rise up and fight. But Lady Liberty receives an unexpected blow to the head when Democrats take action against their own and lower themselves to the Republican level.
It’s easier in the short term to just side with the enemy. Trump has a knack for infecting people and peeling them away. If he has dementia, he still has the innate ability to scare the hell out of those people that just want a nice quiet life. Problem is, we need fighters not comfort seekers.
Siding with the enemy here in Germany in 1933 after Hitler came to power did not save you from persecution and concentration camps.
He does not have dementia. His constant crazy repetition of lies is a propaganda tactic used by Goebbels. Repeat the lie often enough, and people will believe it.
You should have VOTED. That’s what the paddle should have read! You shouldn’t have shat on a great American pro democracy President @stephencolbert.bsky.social so take your bs attacks and GTH w your voter apathy and voter suppression
It's disappointing... had such high hopes for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social yet evidently he 'quietly scolded' the Dems who stood up for our Democracy and against a Mob Boss!!
For starters they can use their campaign funds and SuperPACs to advertise harmful actions taken by pres. Elon and VP Trump. Then they can throw their campaigns behind protest movements.
Instead we get lawsuits when we're not sure the courts matter and we know SCOTUS is in the GOP's pocket.
Yes, at appropriate times. Trump was elected President, democratically, they need to respect the will of the people, democracy. Campaigning can be done anywhere else, where was Al Green's march for medicaid, I haven't seen it. Al shit on the will of the people, Al is against democracy.
Trump's purchase of Elon's Cybertrucks Swastikar is a BAILOUT for TESLA of a product no one wants anymore so Elon can recoup the LOSS he's taking in SALES and in the MARKET! TRUMP ELON BAILOUT!! https://youtu.be/L30RNRAtMnY?si=FJJMus6HsBJoCVvJ
Nobody wants those fucking cars so Trump uses our tax dollars to help Musk get out of a failed business venture. It’s disgusting and open theft of America’s money.
I thought those signs were an excellent way to protest. To sit silently and raise the signs v effective at that event quit bitching about it. I thought an excellent idea.
Fellow Americans! Remember, Trump is NOTHING without his spineless, traitorous, cowardly, corrupt, and self-serving Republican enablers—Senators, Congress members, and Supreme Court justices.
Next time you VOTE, choose leaders who serve the public, NOT THEMSELVES. #VoteWisely
Until Democrats quit worrying about decorum while we are now aligned with Putin, this will continue. The people are fighting and not our elected officials.
Every time he came up for a vote as a leader, Jeffries had been _unanimously_ supported by his fellow Dems. So let’s say he resigns. Then you have a fight over who should be the next leader. Dems need unity against the GOP because they are outnumbered. What you want is extra chaos. #FighttheGOP

Did they really think they were doing something that night?Dems had 9 years and 🍊s playbook ie Project 2025.They should have had a plan and contingency after contingency to that plan from day one.They need to be scared of losing their seats and Leadership should be the first to go.
Get into the streets and protest.
This is how we ended segregation and Jim Crowe laws, the War in Vietnam and his first reelection attempt
Fight these Nazi motherfuckers
What should they do? They can’t do anything. That feeling you have. Hoping someone will save you? That’s trauma. You are being traumatized by someone with absolute power over you. You are having a trauma response. There is no fix. You just get to live it
I come to the conclusion that a good portion of Democrats aren't doing anything because they expect us to do all the damn work. We are tired,fed up & pissed off.We need to tell off any Democrat who had betrayed us.Time to primary them. Enough is enough!
I'm damn proud of the Democrats that had the paddles & told the 🍊🤡 that he's a liar to his face; the one that had "this is not normal" sign as she stood inches away from him; the Democrats that walked out and the ones that didn't show up and Al Green who lead the way by standing up to him!!! 👏🏼🇺🇲💙✊🏼
Voting NO on everything the criminal GOP does and everyone they nominate would be a good place to start @senatedemocrats.bsky.social The ten dems who did this should lose their fucking seats.
The 10 Democrats who voted with Republicans to censure Green were: Ami Bera of CA, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of CA, Laura Gillen of NY, Jim Himes of CT, Chrissy Houlahan of PA, Marcy Kaptur of OH, Jared Moskowitz of FL, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of WA and Tom Suozzi of NY.
#VichyDems 🖕
What do you want the Dems in office to do? They have no power. They are the minority. All they can do is speak up and speak out and get censured. They really don’t have the power to do anything else. Because they are the minority in office. They can hold town halls. They can do that.
Maxine Dexter surprised that her constituents want her to do something, Al Green censured by dems, and Jeffries dressing down the (lame) resisters. How can these people be so completely deaf to us? Will they miss our money?
The old guard of DEM leadership is just out of their depth trying to deal with this. Raised eye brows and tsk tsks, clinging to decorum ain't gonna get it done. Same plays as when the election was running. AOC, Crocket, Kinzinger, Murphy, Raskin are the only ones trying. Shame on Jeffries/Schumer.
3 house seats r up for election. The DNC needs to get behind those candidates with $$$$$ and on the ground support. Get out the vote on every social media to reach the young, the old, the dems who did not vote, the repubs on the fence, black, white, latino. MAKE SURE THEY WIN. Take the House back.
It's easy for a rich guy like Colbert to say this. He has significantly more resources and reach than any of us, and he continues to do this. What a pathetic joke.
Yes Dem leaders, do something and I don't mean censuring your few passionate fighters. It may be time for me to change my affiliation to Independent. Convince me to stay
The Dems are in minority. They have no power. Repubs control house and senate. What do you want them to do? Speaking up and speaking out is all they have.
Here we are fighting against Republicans who are ripping the country apart. Al Green gets escorted out for standing up and not only did Democrats not walk out with him 10 voted with Republicans to censure him. I am beyond outraged
Did you see the lame ass video from Hakeem Jeffries wearing a ball cap like he is the “one of us“ lethargic lack of personality milque toast leader that we’ve become used to
This is appalling that 10 Democrats agreed to Censure Al Green! Where were the 10 Republicans at to censure Marjorie Taylor Greene for calling the President a liar at Biden's State of the Union speech? I am fed up with the Democrats always there to lend a helping hand to the Republicans, but yet,-
the Republicans never reciprocate that helping hand to the Democrats! This is just unacceptable, and unbelievable! We are losing the very fabric that makes America, America, and the Democrats are sitting there saying, well, at least we played by the rules!
For me, it’s not so much fight against as it is to extremely voicing my displeasure at the silence. I appreciate their fighting in the courts but wee need them to take the gloves off and bite an ear or sumthin…
Why the hell aren’t you getting up screaming biting like Marjorie bitch Taylor Greene?? They never hushed the fucking Republicans. They never escort Marjorie fucking Green off the floor. Fuck the RepubliKKKan Party for 1 billion reasons and growing! And fuck Donald Trump to death with a broomstick.
Terrible. You are dealing with Nazis and evil and all you can do is color coordinate and hold up cute signs. It is not nearly enough. Each one of the Democrats should have stood up for something, shouted out like Al Green and one by one be physically removed. That would have sent a statement.
That’s hopelessly naive. Pay attention to what’s happening & support Democrats running in special elections for the House. And take time to listen to this interview w Raskin & Stansbury. https://youtu.be/Pff1LCbmRxY?si=Ery13dmLdkrBcL3v
I get that they didn't want to act like hillbillies, which the right has no problems with, but they should have coordinated a walkout together.... all of them.
Serious question..What can they do? They can’t hold hearings, block legislation, hold anyone accountable. Other than press conferences and holding up signs. what can be done to stop any of this?
I agree with you. Give concrete ideas. I say Dems should aggressively get on ALL media around the clock. SUE. Find creative ways to block things. Find our own "Musks".
Whose idea was this? Really, let's find out who the GD idiot was who thought this would be a great response to that orange fascist. Quips and snark are fine, but like their little paddles, DOES NOTHING TO STOP THIS DEM WOOSY WEAKNESS!!
I believe in unity and in giving people a chance. I also believe in calling out incompetence. Dems have incompetent leaders. Their inability to organize protests at GOP senators/reps offices, their inability to deal with Musk, a stupid SOTU sign tactic, etc.
Where is the DAILY presser with Dem leaders sticking to a few factual themes everyone is seeing with their own eyes? Is that too much to ask? Just as Trump does, says the same BS over and over again until his cult believe it. How about Corruption, Trumpression, Incompetence, Campaign Promises?
This interview with Raskin & Stansbury from this week is long but it puts to rest “if they’re planning anything at all”. If you rely on legacy media to inform you, you’re being played. https://youtu.be/Pff1LCbmRxY?si=Ery13dmLdkrBcL3v
He’s throwing much needed shade at the spineless old guard. The days of Kumbaya protests with cutesy signs are over. Fck decorum. It’s time to risk being dragged out. Risk being censured. Risk getting arrested. Risk losing their job.
So they lose their jobs. GOP have the power & numbers already. Now they won’t encounter resistance because not enough people will be left to resist. What you want is a Dem party that’s not only weakened but obliterated. Let them legislate & litigate. We the people are the ones who need to agitate.
I get that $$$$ were spent on disinfo & as in previous elections, Russia likely had a hand in it. I get that Dems faced headwinds getting their message out. I get that racism also played a part & some people will continue to support Trump even as they lose their jobs & safety nets.
Dems acting like deer in the headlights: clueless and lost. Bruh, you are the leaders. Be like Trudeau and reach deep down inside for that dog in you and pull it out! Now is not the time for cowardice. If soccer parents can show up at rallies and protests, the dems can muster up some backbone
We all sit around on social media waiting for someone to save us. Nobody is going to save us. I can't believe that we are not in full revolt. Our protests are not doing anything or even being covered by the media. We are failing. Failing America and the world.
Speak for yourself. Some of us are calling our congresspeople non-stop to harass them into fighting. We're spreading the word about what's happening to as many people as we can to inform them irl, and we're warring against bills that will make life worse for everyone, but especially the marginalized
I am also doing all of those things. It isn't enough. Our congressmen do not care about us. BLM could teach us a few things about fighting for our rights. He has been in office less than 2 months. The damage he has done already is horrific. Imagine at 6 months, 2 years, and 4 years.
It's not enough, but we won't have a revolt until things are much much worse. Until there is no other option. And until that happens, we're doing what we can. If we get dems in office again (white house, congress, the house, and senate) it will take several terms to reverse the damage being done
Exactly. Ten of them sided with gqp to censure a fellow democrat, one who was actually doing what they should have done. They are embarrassment. I am almost ready to not vote again.
#8 Blue State Rebellion: Threaten a Coordinated Economic Resistance
Schumer could coordinate states to refuse cooperation with federal agencies attempting unconstitutional actions, including redirecting tax revenue, refusing federal mandates, invoking states' rights to resist authoritarian policies.
#7 Partner With World Leaders for an International Pro-Democracy Summit in the U.S.
Schumer could invite world leaders (including Canada, France, Germany, and NATO partners) to an emergency democracy summit in Washington—putting global diplomatic pressure on those enabling autocracy.
#6 Underground Railroad’ for Whistleblowers and Government Employees at Risk
Establish a secure whistleblower protection network—providing safe spaces, legal aid, and secure communication for federal workers who want to resist illegal orders or expose abuses of power.
#5 Call for Mass ‘People’s Hearings’ in Every State Capitol
Since federal hearings can be ignored or delayed, Schumer could launch a 50-state "People’s Hearing" movement, where citizens submit testimony about democratic backsliding, with live streamed sessions broadcast nationwide.

WHY DON'T THEY JUST REGISTER AS REPUBLICANS WHERE THEY CAN BE "REAL"
NAZI'S.
They have no backbone and should vacate their positions for others who do.

I was impressed with al Green.
They didn’t get kicked out.
They were able to harass Trump’s fragile ego through the entire speech.
You think it would be better to have zero Dems there so the tv coverage would have shown the public cheering the entire time… 🤦♀️

Holding up signs? Weak, *weak* fucking tea bro.
Just not for our side.
Censure Rep. Green, approve trump’s appointees, etc.
They are collaborators and should be treated as such.
Use this number: (202) 224-3121
Tell them how you feel! You don't have to be perfect in speech. Overwhelm them! Tell them to do something!
I just called mine and told them I think this Democratic response in the face of tyranny right now is simply pathetic.
Looks like a bunch of pansies to me. #GoAlGreen
They are on the verge of destroying our democracy, our government, our country. FIGHT!
