You elected the Congress. You did so as part of a deal we have had with each other since 1788 that the people we chose for that Congress would make our laws and control our national budgets. And now a group of people are illegally trying to strip away your power. - ThreadSky

Is it too late to go back to the Articles of Confederation?

itsjustmekaila.bsky.social•22 days ago

It’s really scary what’s happening and even worse that half the country seems to either be fine with it or have no idea it’s going on! We need dem leaders to SPEAK UP and tell us what they are doing to stop this hostile takeover.

sdransomspeaks.bsky.social•22 days ago

We have no functioning Legislative Branch. Recalls should be in order.

jan-l-f.bsky.social•21 days ago

You think there will be a NEXT election? In only two weeks look what they've done. There won't be another election. Certainly not a fair one.

djrothkopf.bsky.social•22 days ago

Please remember that. What the new administration is doing is not "attacking the deep state" or "cutting back the federal bureaucracy" they are trying to steal your power, trying to make your vote irrelevant. They are attacking you. And absent a functioning Constitution and the rule of law...

djrothkopf.bsky.social•22 days ago

...your voice will be silenced, democracy will cease to exist, the United States as conceived by and since the Constitution was drafted will cease to exist, you will be tossed out of the most powerful job you've ever held, the most powerful job allocated by that constitution, that of citizen.

Only if we let it

sonjial.bsky.social•22 days ago

Dreadful. Our elected officials cower in fear for themselves instead of actually leading. I expect we’ll get some new slogans from leadership next week.

rationalpear.bsky.social•22 days ago

contact your senator and demand they do a #senateshutdown now. don’t let anything happen in the senate until musk is out. call your reps and demand articles on impeachment. pick any of the dozen offenses.

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•22 days ago

I wish i could do so, but i live in MAGA TN. The two senators are MAGA extremists - Marsha Blackburn & Bill Hagerty. Two worthless POS.

rationalpear.bsky.social•22 days ago

oh god. still should call. let them know you are worried musk has taken over, or that important benefits for tennessee might be cut off.

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•22 days ago

Good idea about calling them. I will do so.

Actually Vanderbilt University in Nashville may have $700k cut in medical research grants. What a mess.

sarahca.bsky.social•22 days ago

I feel like that makes it even more urgent to call. Republican senators have more power and they need to know musk and trump are stealing their voice as chosen officials for your state

katecohenart.bsky.social•22 days ago

Even more so. The Red state senators need to have their phone lines flooded. PUSH BACK please.

cmaguire3.bsky.social•22 days ago

Call anyway! I have called my scared of trump magat congress person several times. All it takes is all dems calling and some of the thrown under the bus magat voters calling.

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•22 days ago

I will call.

youlikeraisins.bsky.social•22 days ago

This is exactly right. And all because around 100,000 people couldn’t be bothered to vote.

popezebbidiexii.bsky.social•21 days ago

And Joe Biden couldn't be bothered to stop funding a genocide

@chuckschumer.com @adamschiff.com @amyklobuchar.com @aoc.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I’m just spitballing here but seems to me what you all are doing isn’t working! 🚨 ⏰ 🚨‼️

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•22 days ago

Musk has taken control of our data by force. He has locked out gov employees. How is this allowed. He should be escorted off the premises.

This has to be illegal as hell. He has no right to access data or lock out federal employees. This is essentially a terrorist attack against the US gov.

spuddonna.bsky.social•22 days ago

YES!!! Where are all the IT security ppl??!

liberals4liberty.bsky.social•22 days ago

Good question. Kicked out by Musk?

spuddonna.bsky.social•22 days ago

Assuming so, they're saying he controls a high level office with badge access/escort only thing

katecohenart.bsky.social•22 days ago

He is unelected. He needs be be deported.

What are we supposed to do?? We have jobs and lives and don’t even live close to dc 😭😭😭this is a nightmare!

brett006.bsky.social•21 days ago

And that’s why their plan worked. Were spread out geographically, they’ve spent decades dividing us, forced a system where we are payday dependent. Like the OP said, we did our part, the people we gave power to let us down and led us here.

kafearless.bsky.social•21 days ago

How do we stop this insanity? It can’t go on. Every day counts, each day this continues is a day of capitulation & surrender. The longer it continues unchallenged lessens possibilities of ever turning it around. Should we organize a general strike?? Ppl seek leadership & it’s sorely lacking.😤

resistancegramma.bsky.social•22 days ago

Congress is very quickly becoming irrelevant and when they figure it out, it might be too late

playmore24.bsky.social•22 days ago

what can we do between now and the next elections?! 🍀

They. Are. Succeeding. It’s horrifying

anemiab.bsky.social•21 days ago

All of this is true. They will be irrelevant. I have been telling my GOP senators this. I appeal to their self preservation since they do not care about anyone else.

scamperton.bsky.social•21 days ago

What happens when congress refuses to do its fucking job

goaskalis.bsky.social•22 days ago

My data is in those computers and a bunch of unvetted tech bros are putting their chocolate-covered grubby little hands all over it. It's an outrage

susan-schwaiger.bsky.social•22 days ago

They can’t win fair and square. So Trump just taught them to take the cheating they always did to the next level and just burn the country down. I wish them a very very bad end.

davidewart.bsky.social•21 days ago

they want chaos. Kristallnacht was old theory
