Katie Porter is needed in the OBM. National treasure.
🤜🤛💪🇺🇸

theladypanda.bsky.social•38 days ago

I am legitimately scared for the safety of people I love.

msoko.bsky.social•38 days ago

What the heck is wrong with him? He needs to be in prison with them…not pardoning them!!!

5dawgz.bsky.social•38 days ago

Please announce your 2028 candidacy tomorrow.

5dawgz.bsky.social•38 days ago

Please!
Cause tomorrow the news is going to justify this with bullshit, and that is not the America we deserve.

These are his core foot soldiers. He inspired them he fueled them and these domestic terrorists attacked our country. On that day he called them Patriots today he called them hostages and pardoned 1500 enemies of this country. He has given aid and comfort to the enemy.

Shame continues to fall upon our country as we fall deeper into fascism.

If it happens again don't count on the police to save you knowing what they know now. Nobody backs the blue except for their fellow brothers and sisters in blue.

pooka-coopermom.bsky.social•38 days ago

Can we please make this about how this in no way supports law enforcement. Such BS.

erica1933.bsky.social•38 days ago

I guess it was supposed to be “black the blue” all along.

2unow.bsky.social•21 days ago

Quackery

outonthelanai.bsky.social•38 days ago

I miss your leadership in Congress already. I'm so scared for the country.

snaomi19.bsky.social•38 days ago

The way I see it, trump just legalized anarchy.

commonnerd.bsky.social•38 days ago

He pardoned cop killers. What a sh*tbag. I have no words…

fonzibean.bsky.social•38 days ago

Ha! And it’s all the COPS who voted for him!

ineffablefafo.bsky.social•38 days ago

I’d like your thoughts on how this happened. You, AOC, & Jasmine Crocket were the only ones to hold republicans accountable & call them out.

Why didn’t our other Dem leaders fight aggressively & refuse to let this happen? If it had been reversed the republicans would absolutely have stopped it.

snugglyhugs.bsky.social•38 days ago

I believe it was the Dem leadership not wanting to appear to be the very thing the MAGA party was accusing them of being.

Which played right into their hands.

Justice delayed is justice denied, and if folk are not willing to stand up to evil, then evil will prevail as it has here.

ineffablefafo.bsky.social•38 days ago

EXACTLY. We can no longer “play nice”. We did that for decades and look where it got us. I’d rather play dirty and still have my rights and freedom.

semperfirst.bsky.social•36 days ago

So when are you going to show yourself and stand up?

baylissfx.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yes it is. And even if it were four hours… these were too long. But it will be four years.
But - there will be no 4 year cycles anymore.. something tells me there won‘t.

stevencal03.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for congestive heart failure.

zendarva.bsky.social•38 days ago

More worried about today's Nazi Coronation than the pardons, honestly.

Even more worried that no one will call a spade a spade.

kudubro.bsky.social•38 days ago

I wish, especially now, that you and your whiteboard were in Congress. YOUR moxie and chutzpah is so needed! 💙

theunsub.bsky.social•38 days ago

I’m so glad you are safe.

blueakasha.bsky.social•38 days ago

Going forward, I will never forgive or help progressives. They sat on their hands and helped Trump. I will not lift one finger to help progressives. Except maybe you. I don’t think you tried to hurt Harris.

starry87.bsky.social•38 days ago

Now his MAGA base will feel like they have a license to do whatever they want as long as he’s in power.

semperfirst.bsky.social•36 days ago

He will reverse the damage you and your's did to the country.

natalia217.bsky.social•38 days ago

I think we’re all well past the point of recognizing he’s an unqualified, corrupt, smelly, draft Dodger, HOW THE F*CK is he able to hold office!!?? Any other job, with any other citizen, this would not happen!

castanton.bsky.social•38 days ago

I definitely feel less safe today than I did yesterday

fonzibean.bsky.social•38 days ago

But Katie, the dems failure to highlight someone like you these past four years or to insist Joe keep to his promise to be a 1 term president was also an insult to our democracy and it’s also to blame for why we are where we are right now. Sadly.

amaroq69.bsky.social•38 days ago

Would be nice to still have you in the House…🥺

arroneous15.bsky.social•38 days ago

We are doomed. Can’t believe this is the timeline we are in.

demsforthepeople.bsky.social•38 days ago

* Press for Congressional Oversight: Citizens can advocate for hearings or investigations into the pardon to ensure that it wasn’t politically motivated or an attempt to undermine the rule of law. Holding public officials accountable for such decisions through hearings or investigations is critical.

fonzibean.bsky.social•38 days ago

And which court holds him accountable? I’ve lost all faith there….

kc-wombat.bsky.social•38 days ago

So sad for America now. Many prayers 🙏💫

ozwiltshire.bsky.social•38 days ago

No hand on the bible, no oath taken, another deliberate act.

semperfirst.bsky.social•36 days ago

No need for a hand on the Bible.

jooliew68.bsky.social•38 days ago

They spelled insurrection wrong. And what bullshit.

the-poors.bsky.social•38 days ago

I think you are an amazing woman Katie and wish you were there in the Senate, yet I am sorry to inform you that our democracy is currently out sick. It has been infested with a nasty mix of Oligarchy and kakistocracy, and may take awhile to remedy.

meshaiman.bsky.social•38 days ago

If the U.S. Army refuses to obey tRump's illegal orders, tRump has his own army to obey his orders.

snugglyhugs.bsky.social•38 days ago

With a heavy heart I have to admit to the truth. Since a 34 time convicted felon now controls the levers of power, there is no justice in America.

heebee-gb-88.bsky.social•38 days ago

Trump has just gotten his SS (Schutzstaffel) See them in the streets in your town soon

westtxwoman55.bsky.social•38 days ago

Melania looks like a bullfighter.

lesliesusan25.bsky.social•31 days ago

Just the beginning

thatb-tchbri.bsky.social•38 days ago

That disgusting traitor was disqualified from being elected president again and it's the fault of weakness, not honor on the opposing side that he was allowed to run for a second term. He belonged in jail with the criminals he just pardoned. This could have and should have been prevented.
