Done!!

Thanks.

Getting voice mails that say the “mailbox is full” and that they are receiving an unusually high number of calls.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

That seems like maybe a good thing?

pennyg1.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am not a staffer but I think they many legislators respond to the messages on their government sites. I receive responses, from staffers of course, from Sullivan & Murkowski. Once a Sullivan staffer called to apologize for NOT responding! Phone calls often go to voicemail.

If the Dems need us constantly calling to express outrage about whatever horror of the day is happening in order for them to do something about all the illegal things Trump is doing, wasting all of those staffers’ time on the phone, then what the fuck are they even doing there.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think it's the republicans this writer was talking about, mostly! I've heard people - Heather Cox Richardson, for one - say that we do need to let our democrat reps know that we support them in speaking out, etc.

🔖

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

What does that little icon mean? Pardon my cluelessness!

sistermachete.bsky.social•20 days ago

"Bookmark"
Which i actually did not know either til i looked it up just now🙄
[I use it in Notebooks to tag websites i've bookmarked as it's bright & i thought "hey!💡That looks sorta like a bookmark...I'll use that!"
And lo-&-behold! I wasn't wrong!
I see others using📌; i just went w/ my usual]

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

ok, now I'm lost, lol! what is 'Notebooks', and also, what happens when you pin or bookmark something here...???

sistermachete.bsky.social•20 days ago

1. Notebooks is an app on my tablet.
Let's me set up separate notebooks - i have one for recipes, gardening, sources, etc. & i'm using It kinda as a spreadsheet program right now, too.
2. This site doesn't have "Bookmark" choice, so use📌, then search your comments for 📌 to find them.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

thanks...I'll have to think about the world of pinned posts!

evesprinkler.bsky.social•20 days ago

Indivisible is a great source of information on how to participate in this particular kind of activism and has been organizing for the last 8 years. It’s also time to start thinking about getting out in the streets to march and protest and participating in general strikes.

amyb-abq.bsky.social•20 days ago

Any way to coordinate our “top 2” concerns so all reps and senators are getting the same message?

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Well, this info was not from me, but part of the advice is always to make it personal - that's what's been found to be effective. So, pick your OWN top 2 concerns...or even just 1 per day. Your passion and authenticity will come through and there's no substitute for that!

amyb-abq.bsky.social•20 days ago

Ugh! There are so many to choose from right now! Thank you for sharing the above. I will change my strategy this week.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

I would LOVE it if you'd share about it...I live in DC, and there's only so much one can do in such a blue city w/o representation!

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Because: "Every single day, the Senior Staff and the Senator get a report of the 3 most-called-about topics for that day at each of their offices (in DC and local offices), and exactly how many people said what about each of those topics. "

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

AND because: "Republican callers generally outnumber Democrat callers 4-1, and when it's a particular issue that single-issue-voters pay attention to it's often closer to 11-1, and that's recently pushed Republican congressmen on the fence to vote with the Republicans. "True in past, also!

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

SO. Call, don't write! "
"Don't leave a message (unless the office doesn't pick up at all — then you can — but it's better to talk to the staffer who first answered than leave a message for the specific staffer in charge of your topic). "

" Pick 1-2 specific things per day to focus on. "

vickilou.bsky.social•20 days ago

Please read my pinned post about our need for a reliable resistance press secretary who can come on daily+ that we can trust. Surely it can be set up somewhere in the Capitol…without needing Congress to approve.
@VickiRossArt

paulalj.bsky.social•20 days ago

You’d have to copy it for me. Like a lot of people I left fb

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Did you read the whole thread in the comments? Best I can do to convey the gist of the post on FB

paulalj.bsky.social•20 days ago

Sorry, I didn’t. I just saw the fb link and figured I’d never know! Thanks for clarifying.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

I do try...I'd like to create memes for my FB page that could just be pasted into Bluesky like a picture....but...

yougottabekm.bsky.social•20 days ago

I dropped Facebook. Can you post it here?

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

It's way too long...but please check out the rest of the thread...my comments capture as much as I found necessary.

drlesele.bsky.social•20 days ago

Please copy it into Blue Sky. Many of us don't have Facebook. Thank you!

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

mollymccluer.bsky.social•20 days ago

Boycott Facebook! Delete your accounts.

azureriver.bsky.social•20 days ago

not going to FB. TY, tho.

fishingkev.bsky.social•20 days ago

What you can do now is delete all Meta platforms.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

That certainly works for some people!

lahuff.bsky.social•20 days ago

The 5 Calls app can be helpful with this.

grumpybees.bsky.social•20 days ago

Can you put this information somewhere other than facebook? Many of us refuse to go there, for good reason

evesprinkler.bsky.social•20 days ago

See my comment above:)

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Ok, here's a question - what if I put all this info in my Substack (currently I don't post there) and linked to THAT, here? Heather Cox Richardson does that with her Letters from an American....would that work better for people, do you think? It'd be easy enough to do....

deathweasel.io•20 days ago

Substack is also kind of evil. Try
https://Pastebin.com

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Thanks for weighing in, but can you explain why you thing Substack is 'kind of evil'? From what I can see, they're just a blog site, not media outlet...

deathweasel.io•19 days ago

They platform white nationalists. Not just platform, they PAY them

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes, I know...but if you read the whole thread here on Bluesky - you'll get the most of it... the short-form format of Bluesky has its limits. The FB post was long - and helpful - but it wasn't a link to an article, just pasted in the post...and Emma's Revolution is not on Bluesky apparently.

veggrrll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Exactly. I permanently deleted and will not go back. Even copy and paste would be helpful!
FB is not safe for us.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

also, re: safety on FB - here's how to make it safer: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/mad-meta-dont-let-them-collect-and-monetize-your-personal-data?fbclid=IwY2xjawIMnBJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHemgWqT4Itxp2UhKRITw5WtsnZEgzyNbbMG93CXNxdLNu9nFc8loqQG_7g_aem_QEiPIVLMePH9pCVclocfww

veggrrll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Nope. I was getting rape and death threats. I’m done. **Nobody** should still on there still—especially not after he took away fact-checking, no protection for dissenting or minority voices (women can now be called “household objects”), and he gave dump $1 million for crying out loud.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

I absolutely understand! Wish Bluesky could actually be a substitute for FB, but it's not...

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Again, copy and paste would be too long...I did copy and paste a lot of the relevant stuff in the thread....but also, see the screenshot posted in a comment below (or above?)!

veggrrll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Sorry, I don’t follow you, so the only thing I saw was the link to FB—the post I commented on.

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Check the comments - there are 3 by me....that's where I pasted in more from the FB post..

rustymarble.bsky.social•20 days ago

I tried to screenshot it, not sure how readable it is. Hopefully alt-text paste will work for the text.

veggrrll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Thank you so much for this!

paxll.bsky.social•20 days ago

Thanks! It's readable if you click on it - then you have to enlarge it! I didn't think of a screen shot...but also don't know how you got the whole thing on one screen!

rustymarble.bsky.social•20 days ago

My phone? I have no idea, I just push random icons and see what happens. The farthest left seems to scroll and stitch for me. LoL. I'm so glad it worked!
