Come on, Senator. Push through. That’s a Blackwater guy. He’s not going to shoot you; you’re not brown.

Reposted from Senator Ed Markey

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

He’s a freakin’ security guard. My grandmother could bully her way past him.

redglowv2.bsky.social•17 days ago

I know it’s crazy, but FPS can contract out, and still can keep Congress out. If they want to bulldoze past, they can get arrested. Which is fine by me too, but that’s the outcome

drgonzo123.bsky.social•17 days ago

If you are a congressperson, bring a Capitol police escort. The moment the security guard attempts to impede you physically and restrict you from a government building, have them arrested. Rinse. Repeat.

davidwbrown.bsky.social•17 days ago

This!

sandrat.bsky.social•16 days ago

A member of Congress getting arrested would definitely get some media coverage. DOOOOO IIIIIIIT!!

reselsnark.bsky.social•17 days ago

Good. They should be getting themselves ‘arrested’

Because obstructing a member of congress in that way is illegal.

Taking the the rent-a-martinet to court and suing the 💩out of them might be a good way of preventing others from trying to stop Senators in the future.

redglowv2.bsky.social•16 days ago

I’m not sure it’s illegal in this case.

lovemypupper.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yeah let them get arrested

foreverblue28.bsky.social•17 days ago

By whose authority did they block you? Because as far as I know, you are an elected official and Elon Musk is not.

Incredible missed photo opportunity that would blow up fundraising

hollylecraw.bsky.social•17 days ago

That's a Blackwater guy? Why??? Why is there PRIVATE SECURITY IN A FEDERAL BUILDING

paulwartenberg.bsky.social•17 days ago

because Blackwater signed a contract as a vendor.

hollylecraw.bsky.social•17 days ago

When?? Is this always a thing? Or is it a DOGE thing?

paulwartenberg.bsky.social•16 days ago

The Gov't has contracted these private security forces for decades. I think there was Wackenhut in the 70s...

wengerplz.bsky.social•17 days ago

If Democrats let a parliamentarian stop them from passing a minimum wage, it’s not really a surprise they’d let a rent a cop stop them here

jeffbach.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ken, Blackwater has absolutely fired on white people by accident, these congressfolks are being smart in not risking it 🤷

sicilian1.bsky.social•12 days ago

The DOGE representative was unable to meet with anyone because his mother was changing his diaper!

eh-i.bsky.social•16 days ago

These are the kind of people that wait until they are formally greeted before entering the Walmart.

clevernickname23.bsky.social•17 days ago

Also, as long as you keep facing him, you're safe. Blackwater prefers to shoot people in the back.

jaychesskey.bsky.social•17 days ago

Seriously. Musk and his children did the equivalent of "If you carry a ladder they'll let you go anywhere" and Democrats are like "but... he's got a ladder!"

nickcummings.bsky.social•17 days ago

Who does this security guard think he is? Imagine stopping a senator from entering a building. What the hell is he thinking?

nursewho.bsky.social•16 days ago

They need to use their fucking white privilege, high level status!

oglaura.bsky.social•16 days ago

Exactly just fucking GO-Do something

davefernig.bsky.social•17 days ago

They won't, because they are just there for the media photo op, not to do their job.

allenmramos.bsky.social•17 days ago

Our Democratic Senators need to resist harder NOW, before Hegseth purges everybody from DoD who would resist an order to fire on American officials.

I wish one of these Senators or Reps would just say "either stop me or move aside". Why keep complying?

But that would be impolite!

uofagrad97.bsky.social•17 days ago

Just walk around him. He can’t arrest you.

poulsbohemian.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yeah ask for his credentials. Where was he before 2 weeks ago.

wcooper05.bsky.social•16 days ago

Push through and remind him that his plan to show up for dinner alive and well may not be realized.

benhosp.bsky.social•17 days ago

I’m sick of this “I’m just a normal guy I sleep in my office and get thrown out of stuff by guards” stuff from these guys. We need to renormalize important people acting like obnoxious big shots. “I’m a United States Senator get the fuck out of my way” was the right choice here.

They need to break through like Gene Hackman in Crimson Tide with “Shoot me” and just keep walking.

ghostwithashell.bsky.social•16 days ago

Why aren't they bringing the Capitol police to just move that dude over?

dfprovine.bsky.social•16 days ago

Because Trump pardons anyone who beats the Capitol police. If that guy shot and killed a Capitol police officer, he probably wouldn't spend even a week in jail.

ghostwithashell.bsky.social•16 days ago

Where do you think they're gonna land on this.

dfprovine.bsky.social•16 days ago

I don't know what's going to happen - prediction is hard, especially where it concerns the future - but it's already really ugly and I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. A lot worse.

daledidporn.bsky.social•17 days ago

lol

paulthentim.bsky.social•16 days ago

Is this before you knocked that silly cap off his head and walked past, or when you turned around and said "Oh well, we tried..."?

ebuntline.bsky.social•17 days ago

I want to know who is paying this private security guy. Is it the Federal government or Elon Musk. Lots of instances where following the money can lead to a news story.

asteveintime.bsky.social•17 days ago

Do you think Republicans are waiting for Dems to go forced entry (they’ll claim hypocrisy for Jan. 6th yada yada) to issue military security at these places? I wouldn’t put it past them to try.

agadorsparticus.bsky.social•16 days ago

A coup in progress.

slindquist.bsky.social•17 days ago

For Pete’s sake, why didn’t he push through?

redglowv2.bsky.social•17 days ago

FPS has been contracting security for a long time, because it doesn’t have the staffing to meet needs. And now, this.

chrisd238.bsky.social•17 days ago

It's a group of old men and they don't know how to fart and slobber and dodder past one young dude, pathetic

wumbomum.bsky.social•14 days ago

Who hired these mercenaries to use against us?

This is coming soon…

megrosejoy.bsky.social•16 days ago

This is another reason we need younger members of Congress.

amidprivilege.bsky.social•17 days ago

With all due respect, at 78, Markey might be feeling a little fragile for physical altercations.

max-drickey.bsky.social•17 days ago

If only there was someone younger who was willing to represent the state of Massachusetts in the Senate… but that could never happen.

bachpropagate.bsky.social•17 days ago

Fuck no not another Kennedy.

amidprivilege.bsky.social•17 days ago

Not saying you're wrong, but why, exactly, not another Kennedy? Vibes? Or policies?

bachpropagate.bsky.social•17 days ago

The campaign proved that he had no vision beyond feeling that the seat was his birthright as a Kennedy. This is the kind of entitlement that mars the character of men in that family since Joseph P., and the legacy crushes them in public life.

max-drickey.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yes, this was definitely the narrative Sunrise decided to push. Sorry you bought it!

amidprivilege.bsky.social•17 days ago

Move to MA and run for Senate. Or encourage your friends who live there to do so. And be nice to boomers. Some of us WANT young people in Congress and other offices.

max-drickey.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ha, I moved to a purple state so too late for that! I’m mostly pointing out that Ed Markey was challenged by a very capable and young member of the house of reps a few years ago, and he played to the worst impulses of young activists to keep his seat

hollylecraw.bsky.social•17 days ago

If you think Joe 3 would be out there acting bold right now, you're crazy. He lost for a reason. He used to be my rep; I met with him during the first Trump admin and was deeply unimpressed. Markey is a genuine progressive.

max-drickey.bsky.social•17 days ago

Agree to disagree, then! He was there when the chips were down and it counted, and that meant a lot to me and my volunteers.

amidprivilege.bsky.social•17 days ago

He's a skilled politician, then. The only thing I can imagine will get younger people into Congress is to have them run good, well-funded campaigns. Is yelling "boomer" at people a good way to make that happen? You tell me.

Thanks for doing your bit in the purple. I ballot cure in purple districts.

max-drickey.bsky.social•17 days ago

Good politics for MA is not, I’m afraid, good politics for the rest of us. At least not these days! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think age is disqualifying. But I fear blue senators are not meeting the moment, and age is definitely a factor.

jerismurturf.bsky.social•17 days ago

How dare they?🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

kismetchaos.bsky.social•14 days ago

Oh that guy!? He is being given the lead chief of police position next week after this initiation process.
(Its not funny because it might be true)

kismetchaos.bsky.social•14 days ago

I’m very curious as to what will happen if capital police are asked to assist our congressmen and women. My question is, are our police already compromised?

howardoark.bsky.social•16 days ago

If he’d shown his federal ID he could have walked right in.

catladydee.bsky.social•17 days ago

This is more performative nonsense from feckless Dems who don't actually want to resist. Sad and disappointing.

zugernat.bsky.social•17 days ago

Batman would push through.

minpinmom.bsky.social•17 days ago

Serious question, why are they letting any of these people stop them?

nickcummings.bsky.social•17 days ago

Also, why does this security guard think he can stop a senator?

tarheelguy.bsky.social•16 days ago

Because Emperor Musk told him he could.

maxtropolitan.bsky.social•17 days ago

The Democrats are one of the only political factions in history without goons.

Huge mistake.

Abraham Lincoln had goons. Abolitionist goons! 👁️

@kenwhite.bsky.social I’d love to hear someone like you explain what authority security do, or do not, have to keep members of Congress out of a Federal department office building.

.....you don't know me but i know you can imagine my expression reading this

wa3zgt.bsky.social•14 days ago

The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions.

Arrest *him* for trespassing and unauthorized access.

Then walk into the building.
