Sure! But we don’t all have Dem representatives unfortunately. And shouldn’t they know what their jobs are?! I’ve been harassing Rep representative (for whom I didn’t vote) either way. But I’m not very optimistic on the results.
I contact my own Representatives almost every day now. I also contact other Representatives almost daily. But I will never stop asking where the Democrats are until they actually show up and do something.
What is with Donald signing all the orders in sharpie? Is that standard protocol? To me he looks like a first grader pretending to sign documents. Seriously!
By omission or commission, about 70 percent of Americans decided to punish the Democrats by electing Trump. WTF are you looking for from the Dems? Perhaps look in the mirror because the rest of the world is looking at you asking WTF!
Or electors could take responsibility for their choices. Someone elected this orange blight on the planet. The Dems put a damn fine pair of folks for the election and they were defeated.

It took me a minute to figure out who this was. Yes, my eyesight is really bad in one eye. Then I saw that neck. And I knew. And I wondered WTF is going on with me, that I recognize that neck. Then remembered I had made some memes about it, then deleted them, because Yuck. 🤮
While I appreciate the spirit of your post, I simply refuse to fly to Democrat congressmembers on demand. Also, try dialing a phone with talons. Tried calling my senator, ordered pizza by mistake.
Dem or Rep - still call, write, fax, etc. MAGA may not get on record, but privately they are still tallying up the public outcry, especially if they are up in 2026!
You can do both. I can wonder where they are publicly, tagging them in my posts, and also ask them myself. I'm going to continue to ask it every time I get a chance, no matter the forum.
Sent emails and to date not one has even sent a generic response. When I sent one to Costco their answer looked most likely generic but it did throw my name in a couple times. Meaning Costco acknowledged me but the senator I voted for did not.
Believe it or not, sometimes it is as simple as (1) not having a script to work from and (2) being morbidly phone-shy. This helps. I mean it. This is something I can do today. Thanks!
I live in Illinois and I email and call my 2 senators. Tammy Duckworth is a good one, but I've lost faith in Dick Durbin. Mid terms are going to be disappointing if they don't fight for the folks that put them there.
Yes, don't sit back and expect others to resist- do something! Change always starts from the local level and works its way up. Call, protest, write letters, join your local Dem party, run for local office- criticizing is easy- Change-> "It's hard work, but we like hard work" #resist #GOPElitists
Call GOP representatives and senators too! They need to hear push back from millions of us. Also follow democrat reps and senators. My senator was on msnbc today pleading for us all help put pressure on GOP elected officials too.
Strangely, the only sorta answer I got was from my red rep. He wiffle waffled, but, he responded. Perhaps our dear Dems need to take a moment. Listen to us, answer us.. I don’t care if it’s a trained intern, answer!
Where are the Democrats? Perhaps they're taking a page out of Muhammad Ali's book and using the "Rope-a-Dope" tactic.
Letting the "Mussolini of Mar a Lago" punch himself out with his litany of lies and chaos until they can pick up the pieces. Here's hoping it ends like the "Rumble in the Jungle"!
Exactly. There is a lot of silence on their part. They should be on every media outlet screaming at the top of their lungs. So far I've only seen a small handful doing this. We are a broken nation.
Find and contact elected officials.

I email, I call. Repeatedly. I'm in TX. They don't give AF. Cornyn & Cruz are loving this shit. They are so awful. I've spent my life marching and organizing (I'm 65). I've mailed crocheted vaginas to TX legislature. I didn't think I'd spend my last yrs fighting fascism. I'm so sick of these turds.
Bold to the point of stupidity of you to assume I'm not already actively doing both everyday. Maybe "Where the actual fuck are these spineless, craven, useless Dems" is the question?
Mine simply never return phone calls and shred my mails evidently. There’s no accountability when these folks have been in office for so long. We need younger ppl in our party. We need to uproot the status quo!!
Don't send pigeons today -- RFK will put them in a blender. (Although I kind of love the idea of looking out the window and seeing thousands of birds descending on the congressional office buildings.)
I know...been here since 1970 ...elementary and middle school in Hialeah, graduated hs 1985 in wpb ... got two degrees in physics at FAU ... and I feel like I let my kids down not getting more involved in politics 💙🦋😑 ... resisting since 11/9/2016 ... hope I'm not too late.
I had my kids, one an infant, on a corner protesting the Gulf War, in the days when you could do such things without fear of being run down. I don't think you, arriving to object earlier would have made any difference. Unfortunately. I just met you but I don't believe you have let your children down
Also WTF, say what you will about the flaws of social media, why are we giving a pass to Dems who don’t engage on social media AND don’t proactively engage with their constituents.
We shouldn’t have to tell them to do their fucking jobs. Our country is diving headfirst into a fascist oligarchy and they’re going along business as usual, with the exception of Warren, AOC, and Bernie. Just craziness.
I called my Dems, nobody answered the phone and I had to leave the voicemail. NOW am I allowed to ask, where are the Dems? I also called my Republican, I got a person and chewed them out for 20 min. Who are my Dems chewing out? Where are they besides voting along with MAGA to confirm nominees?
How little do dems have to do before white liberals like yourself are able to admit that you just didn't elect an opposition. You voted for liberals, liberals are a type of conservative and right winger.
I think we need to be doing both, reaching out and also vocalizing our anger and discontent in every arena. If no one else sees that you are angry and wondering what is the Dem's plan and where is their opposition, people are just going to accept this is normal and not do anything about it.
I have done this multiple times now and they still keep voting to confirm Trump's cabinet (and I'm in California)
The democrats are useless
If you are counting on them to actually stand up to this you are going to be sorely disappointed, & the sooner we recognize this the better off we will be
I'm calling them so much I'm afraid I'll get a restraining order and they're still hiding. Has anyone seen Angela Alsobrooks in person in the past few weeks? I'm beginning to worry that she left the country.
They are not answering phones, the call goes to voicemail and you get a message the box is full and not taking messages. So how exactly do we contact them?
They are scrambling right now. They will show up, no question. At the moment, he’s hiding behind Executive Orders, so they will be fighting the legality of those soon.
Dear @kslatteryresist.bsky.social Today on #Bluesky @johnfeal9117.bsky.social called on: @housedemocrats.bsky.social = 0 post @senatedemocrats.bsky.social = 0 post

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social = 30 posts Safe bet none of them will respond 2 us?
Not only the chosen representatives - every single person who is a Dem should speak up against Trump's actions.
Speak to the family, tell them "I told you so", explain the losses in Medicare, cost of income tax compared to the rich.
I often call out to the Dems - don't be so "decent", Democrats!
Have been doing that since his junk drawer nominees came out! Calling/emailing and now writing letters for snail mail. Could be a full time job. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
This is my question- who am I supposed to rally? Sadly, I am in North Texas, but not in Jasmine Crockett’s district. Also, she’s already rallied and speaking OUT! One of the few!
laughable, they shouldnt need a call, what a waste of time. like telling a dr about a drug you saw on tv. how fd up is that. why go to med school when you have advertisements, right??
Called both Dems 2x today. Calling at all of their offices in state and in DC!! Called my Republican Rep. The person answering the phone got an earful! I’m going to call daily as each new awful policy is announced!!
I have sent emails to mine, although one of them is Ron Johnson whose office has never - not once - responded to an email I've sent even when requested.
I get the same feeling when I read people who share a story and ask, "Why isn't anyone talking about this?" My reply is always, "They are. The real question is, Why aren't you paying attention?" Slow to search for answers, quick to level blame. Recipe for staying right where you are. Or worse.
just attempted to call my REPUBLICAN Rep Tim Walberg to see if my wife who's employer is grant funded is going to lose her job...I called three offices...guess who wasn't available in any of his offices...I let em know though how I felt!
I called first, posted next. They still aren’t doing shit. I don’t expect much but at least stop working with them and obstruct everything. We need to push a government shutdown. 0 votes from us. And push the debt ceiling over the edge. Trump voters need to get fucked.
I don't have any Dems. I have a cruddy cowardly Cruz, a crappy corny Cornyn, and a jumped-up jackass Jackson (Ronny the drunkard dumbass so-called dr. that said the buffoon was the healthest guy he knew). I call their offices every day to tell them how cowardly and dumb they are.
People asking that question also seem to be asking for Democratic officeholders to seek them out, even if they are lying on a beach recliner at some resort.
Thanks, K. That really needed to be said. I first saw messages decrying "the Dems" from MAGA trolls posting here in Bluesky. And this morning I saw one of the accounts I respect joining the refrain.
I consider calls like that a sign of political inexperience and naivete.
Why do you say that? I write to my reps daily...no answer. Please give me a list of what else can be done. I am listening and will do it, but when there is no response, I have to wonder what is going on and is money to blame?
Too busy. There are other folks who can give you lists. You haven't NAMED your Housed member or your Senators (if they're Democrats, they may be busy at the moment, but they have larger staffs...Call their offices, and TALK to someone there.
You can call the Dems all you want but they are powerless. You need to call the Republicans in charge and start complaining on a daily basis about what is happening.
Yea, I did that. But I’m in a purple/red state and they’re too damn worried about their reelections. I’ve stopped thinking that those in Congress are going to be of any use. We need to find our helpers outside of the beltway.
Yes! They don't want to lose their seat and these policies, including the current unconstitutional freeze on funds, will hurt their supporters too. The more calls they get, the more they worry...and they deserve to worry.
Or even better, call your Republican lawmakers (as literally every single one, save my state senator, who supposedly represents me is a Repugnantiklan) and ask them what the hell they are going to do about this.
Need coordinated aggressive campaign; simple message ads on blast n repeat. Call reps ok, stir inside Congress, statement/SM, but stir individual reps ain’t gonna move needle. This, AOC leader, good, but need national campaign blast. When dems ever organized, other when majority? 😂 laugh to not cry.
And, it’s sickening, but campaigns take money, lots money, need concerted effort established PAC focus big national campaign, dem caucus (on same freakin page) whatever, or other strong leadership focused fight djt every turn communicating why, simply, direct to American people worried about eggs. 🇺🇸
I did that today, called both of my (blue state) senators. Iʻm hoping that there are a lot of closed door meetings and an opposition plan is being formulated. It should have started the day of the election when Harris lost. No time to lose. And itʻs not good enough to think about the midterms.
I don’t have any Dems representing me. I live in MAGA county North Carolina. All of my local, state, and federal government representatives are MAGAs. They don’t care what I think or feel.
How about we ask as a group. Hey Chuck , Hey Shifty,Hey Nancy and as we have seen this week, Hey Hakim, just sittin around running off at the face as usual. There are some great young Democrats ready to take the fight to MAGA. So sit down get out of the way. And STFU.
If not now when. If not us who?
Or you could look in the mirror. It’s way past time to stop saying “They need to do something” and start saying “We need to do something” Myself included. But it’s also true that if elected Democrats are too corrupt or too cowardly to meet the challenge they need to get out of the way and shut up.
YES!! Resistance is not effective if we just talk among ourselves. 🤭
We MUST reach out to our legislators.
Here's just ONE way. 👇🏼 I happen to think it's one of the most effective, but ANY WAY is better than not doing it at all. The switchboard operates 24/7!
Yes, call but also write/email telling them now that they (Repugs) are in charge we want Term Limits, Lobby Reform, End to insider trading, campaign reform. When they respond send a copy of the response to local & National news agency. Hold them accountable
It is even harder here in Ohio when all we have are republicans that apparently are invisible. One congressman too busy eyeing his future run for governor and the other who I still don’t understand how he beat Sherrod Brown who actually was well respected and worked for all Ohioans. They don’t care
He’s still consider your Representative in government. Do call him and get everyone you know to call him and tell him how you feel about what OrangeHitler is doing.
😂 yeah I’m real sure that’s going to make an impression on the men that defunded a predominantly black college day one, who are trying to make wearing a mask illegal, who are aiming for complete abortion ban, removing accessibility to divorce, and limiting college student voting.
NOT doing it is obeying in advance. Getting enough of you to protest them is the key. If the a-holes think they will lose their seat, they may start to go against trump. If we all do nothing, then nothing will stop them.
We shouldn't have too. PPl work for a living unlike them. Growing a spine, takes time we don't have. They're waiting for elon to hide the evidence first before they ask for a recount & investigation into this election. The whole lot needs firing.

I just happen to call mine to ask them, but I will also ask on social media. If they want me to stop, there's an easy fix.
Be seen and heard.

And trust me, when you leave a message and speak your grievances out loud, you feel great afterwards.
You instantly become part of the process, and seriously, you feel better.
And it works!

But I call anyway because ... yeah ... this is chaos. Impeach the incompetent asshat
The world gets stranger every day, and we all have our parts to play. I just keep trying to lend my weight to bend that long arc 🗽⚖☯️
I appreciate you lending your weight to the cause.
PS I have voted blue ... but im a dot in a bloodbath. My red colleagues call me a happy hippie. They are about to learn: The hippies were right.

Also WTF, say what you will about the flaws of social media, why are we giving a pass to Dems who don’t engage on social media AND don’t proactively engage with their constituents.
They. Aren’t. Listening.
It’s long time for us to do more than talk at them. Revive an active culture of primaries.
Especially Dems that accept large dollar funding.
Maybe that money is why they don’t hear us.
And all my Leerless Feeders are ‘Busy on another line, and oddly, vote the opposite way than I prefer.
Doesn’t stop me from leaving my thoughts… frequently.
