The criminal conduct will continue every minute that Trump is in the White House. He’s a convicted criminal, an adjudicated sexual abuser, a tax cheat who owes the government $1/2 BILLION. What do people expect?
Politicians do what it takes to keep their jobs & their power. This means it's the job of the US public to tell politicians what they have to do to get our votes. About 40% of Americans haven't gotten the message, & can't be bothered to vote. In order to have a democracy, we have to vote.
I'd love to see a list of the representatives and senators who are holding the line and explaining what's happening at every step. Melanie Stansbury is one https://www.facebook.com/reel/582497081427819
WTF is going on with our Democrat representatives?
1. Very few appear to be vertebrates
2. They forgot about We the People
3. Little understanding of social media
4. They are preaching to the Blue choir
5. No messaging targeted at the Red choir
Agreed. The most leverage we have is not to vote along with GOP on things that must be passed. It will be painful, but I would argue that it is just a different kind of pain which exists now...
Shut the fucking system down now. This is not a constitutional crisis. We're past that. The Constitution is being dismantled. Present tense. It's being shit on the same way the floors of the Capitol were on 1/6/21.
I've been a liberal who has supported and defended democrats for literally decades, and I will nor give another cent to these cowards. I will vote for any primary opponent who sill go after Trump hammer and tongs.
Thank You for the encouraging words. Whether we have pipe dreams & or Grand Wishes. $$ is
mammon, at some point the riches they have stored for themselves will go to the Righteous. So let's get on with some RIGHTEOUS MOVEMENT. My motto is "never lose hope" Come on yes you can
✌️😉🏴☠️
yup...that ID was in reference to surviving a horrible time in my life. So yeah, yer right. I had to run with a body that couldn't do that, but I made it. I can do it again if I have to.
Thanks for the reminder.
💙👍is it 911 yet?
Pretty close.
Yeah, this time. We're calling on some that probably marched in protest in 60's maybe 70's. So yeah it's nice to know we have Vets been through hell & back. To think we are living in the biggest crisis of America. Thanks to those that believe like Mr DUI, they've stirred the wrong nest ✌️🤯🏴☠️
Skittles: Actually he only got 50 percent of the actual popular vote,
77 million votes to
Harris’s 74 million votes.
but he won by getting the electoral college votes, so in reality half of the country voted against him
Skittles: Hello James, it does seem like a great many of my fellow citizens fell down and hit their heads causing brain damage. And soon will realize that they have only awakened a giant monster that will destroy everything and everyone in it’s path.
😰😰😰
Does it do anything though? The nominees get past the committee because they are GOP majority. Nominees also only need 51 votes or 50 with Vance. GOP have 53. So Dems could throw a fit. They can vote NO which appears to be true. The nominees still get approved. I am confused on the ask here I guess.
At the very least, it means that the Dems don’t give any cover to the GOP’s agenda or Trump’s terrible nominations. It can help focus attention on the Trump-Musk awfulness. And it tells the general public this is not the time for business as usual.
The real challenge will be how do the Dems respond when the GOP goes to remove the filibuster so they can pass unpopular bills like national abortion bans or other horrible shit. That one will matter how much of a fit they throw and how they fight back to not allow it.
Yesss, but resistance is a muscle to develop. Just as we probably can’t muster the forces necessary to do a successful general strike, the electeds need to ramp up their own capacity to say no. We see how unaccustomed they are to it now.
If the people don't bother to contact their reps, & continue to passively accept all this bullshit, it will continue. The people have more power than special interests, but they consistently fail to use their power. About 40% of the US public doesn't even bother to vote. So this is what we get.
What? Are you suggesting the “kumbaya, let’s all work together” message doesn’t work with fascists and authoritarian fellow-travelers? Give them an inch and they will kick you aside and take a mile. Compromise is necessary in Normal times!
If they are going to just steal money (claw back😡) from Cities and States they don't like, another simple remedy is for those "liberal" States to STOP sending fed tax with holding dollars to this new, criminal regime and take care locally.
I understood the first time. But we are gonna have to look are real fight back 'cause this is dangerous. We give, they take and we all lose is not going to work. Thanks for being civil in your convo
But Michigan's senators think they can vote yes to get things back from the fascists someday.
@senelissaslotkin.bsky.social
I did not vote for you to see you vote yes on the Convicted Felon's picks. Do you realize or even care, WE ARE LOSING OUR DEMOCRACY.
#fascists
But also doesn't matter at all. People keep acting like we're some form of democracy (or republic, I'm not going to go into all of that) when we're a fledgling fascist state.
But how can Trump make a credible commitment to stopping his (and Elon’s) criminal activity? The Democrats’ demand has to be “until we see that the criminal conduct has stopped for a certain period of time” and they offer votes/help with a short time limit (1 month CR?) in case it starts again.
He’s not passing legislation, they have the votes to approve nominees. Come March think he’ll happily shutdown government and blame it on Dems. Going to take some GOP members to realize what life after Trump could be like or someone getting hurt in a way he can’t spin to Dems. I agree but
It shouldn't be a big ask. That the Beltway Dems are still in "C'mon guys, let's all be bipartisan" mode tells us where the problem lies. The fascists are simply taking advantage of the Dems' unwillingness to stand for any principles. Worse, they actively kneecap AOC and others who are courageous.
The American public should stop now. No labor, no spending. Halt everything until Trump, musk, doge boys, and every legislator or administrator who has assisted them in breaking the law are all arrested. Presidential immunity does not apply to treason, and this is a coup. Worse is coming.
As long as Americans are unwilling to sacrifice themselves, there will be no saving us from this. We all need to pay our rent, food, medicine, but if we don’t sacrifice now, we will sacrifice much more later. Worse is coming for us. There is no safe, convenient way to revolt.
Yes! They are the worst and most incompetent people for the job. Their followers drank their “Kool-Aid” of lies and are still under the influence.
But WE STILL OUTNUMBER ALL OF THEM—our DEMOCRACY will prevail!!! Keep your cool, speak up, and help others in any way possible. 💙 #WeThePeople
"they" who? the bombing was carried out by Israel, a long time American ally. complain all ya like, but we have been the bad guys for a while. yall just decided to lean into it.
It's so obvious how little interest you people have in the genocide from your infantile sarcasm. Democratic voters like you, who are supposedly progressive and moral people, should have strongly opposed the genocide and threatened to withhold votes. But you didn't, so drop the superior attitude
dear, the time for getting someone better on the ballot needed to take place years ago. the time to vote for the best option was at the booth. and the time for sarcasm is now as the world burns. but do enjoy the most moral seat in the cattle car, it's right next to me.
NONE of you had a peep to say about Trump. It was all criticism and rage aimed at Kamala, even while she was saying she strongly supported a 2-state solution and opposed Netanyahu.
So glad you're grand standing. Because things are so much better that you lot stayed home. You really showed them. Except, wait, you absolutely did not. And now there are literal concentration camps being built. So, thanks for that.
Who is the agreement with? Hoe does that person control Trump’s behavior? What could the terms of that deal possibly entail that would make it binding? I don’t think you’ve thought this through.
"Musk is fired, the illegal impoundments stop, and US AID is reopened" could be demands of Trump that we could see being fulfilled before raising the debt ceiling/passing a CR. But once Democrats give Trump what he wants, what would stop him from reneging?
I don’t know how he demonstrates that he’s stopped impoundment during the govt shutdown that might have to happen for Dems to be making demands. That’s even before you get to question of them staying stopped.
Musk being fired is at least clear, but I don’t see how Johnson or Thune makes it happen. Trump can endure a longer shutdown than they can because he’s not trying to win an election in 2 years.
Trump has no real power. He’s a distracting figurehead trapped in a cage of his own making. I would love to know who is actually doing the work the president is legally required to do.
The executive has won essentially every shutdown showdown since the 90s in which the legislature was trying to make major demands. The dynamics will be weird here though because the GOP has the majority
Yeah, if you're in a shut down that doesn't work, though "firing Musk" a visible sign. I guess "extremely short term fixes" is the only real way to do it.
Which is why a better demand might be extremely explicit employee counts at every part of the executive and maybe a Musk subpoena to Oversight. The first helps in court and the second would give some good media, I think.
As long as legitimately elected officials keep recognizing an adjudicated insurrectionist as the president, nothing Congress does matters. Our representatives are NOT honoring their oath of office! This administration is not legitimate according to the US constitution and nobody is even saying it!
As far as funding goes we are better off with no government than a corrupt Nd criminal government. The states can provide governance. Cut off all Federal money to trump crime family
Reminder that it was women who showed up to help activists outside where bigbro sends dogs, NOT keyboard warrior men who BARELY showed up- over the last 40 years.
Why is that keyboard warrior little BOYS? Asking for men who protected the women from dogs, HF red paint thrown on us 1992. on and on.
There’s not enough Democrats in office to stop the passing of appointments or bills or anything right now. They own the senate, the house, and the presidency as well as scotus . Democrats can vote no and can fight and do what they can, but until the people elect more opposition, it won’t be stopped
The thing I am struggling with is... Trump is already not carrying out congressional laws and funding. What controls can they put into a deal to make sure he actually does it if they provide votes?
Good read. We need new strategies and tactics. Project 2029 in 90 pages or less with easy to understand “what does this give you” language mirrored after a comprehensive marketing plan for Americans.
Can’t demand this explicitly of course, but Dems shd push for firing Musk and getting rid of DOGE as tacit conditions. That wd at least reduce the worst security breaches and slow down the demolition of a functioning gov’t.
This is why I’ve been saying they need to be in the communities - they don’t have the trust/credibility AS A BRAND. I’ve seen ppl check out as soon as someone says they’re a DEM. Use this time to rebuild trust with the community.
The people that voted for a rapist and a criminal, do not care about any moral decency. They lost that when they voted for immorality. They have identified themselves as immoral scum, the answer is to not have anything to do with them, in your shops, businesses, clubs, homes any space YOU control.
If only the GOP actually cared. Even the Dems voting 100% together can’t stop votes or block nominations. Someone go scream at the “good” Republicans to stop blocking subpoenas for Musty & stop voting for these unqualified, dangerous, and criminal appointees. GOP Reps & Senators are cowards.
I got a donation text for Pelosi yesterday. I responded with “no money until you stand up to Trump”. I didn’t think human beings actually read those texts but someone replied with “I understand. Thanks.” lol.
I can’t imagine having that power, and just screwing their constituents over and over and over again while pretending to care. What money could be worth it? What crime is so heinous you’d rather help burn the world instead?
As someone looking in from outside of the US, it is weird that there doesn't seem to be any mobilization for mass protests. If there ever was a time to organize it is now. Why aren't the Democrats asking for the people to stand up to his tyranny. It is bizarre.
THERE'S groups organizing for diff types/kinds of protest everywhere. I seen it on instagram, tiktik, FB.
Theres one feb 28, one march 7. The march 7th one is to not shop anything from Amazon that day.
The feb 28 one involves showing up at gvt bldgs or to not shop at any GOP supporter stores.
That's fair. I'm not criticizing the people. It just seems bizarre that the Dems don't seem to react with the urgency that the situation demands. Like why aren't they trying to mobilize every form of protest they can possibly think of.
I would just like to draw your attention to the resignation of Danielle Sassoon, and to ask if you remember how many prosecutors had to resign in 1973 for our politicians to regain their minds.
The Dems won't do it because (a) they're chickenshits and also (b) they think they are playing a "long game" where if they just let Trump continue to fuck up big time that eventually they will win back the house, senate, and presidency.

I will not stop attacking Dems for voting with Rs. RFK is a threat to the health and well being of children and adults. A vote for him just shows cowardice. Some things are just not acceptable. Chose battles wisely or we'll take you out of the game.
You don't think that hasn't been discussed? Pelosi, Schumer, all the old guard is resistant to anything new. Donald dominated the social media strategy and that's what we're trying to win over. It's working but it's so little too late.
You like what's happening. You like Dems defending Donald, voting for his nominees, letting a few carry the fight? You ever want to be in the WH and majorities again? Well, that takes action. Lighting a fire. And if we have to remind politicians who put them there, we remind that we can fire too .
Do you understand how the electoral college works?
If you do you can only change the dem party by delivering VOTES.
Engaging 85 million nonvoters takes ALL of us on the phone, going door to door and talking about the class war we are losing to billionaires.
Did you do enough personally ?
Please. I know the EC. And I know %. We outnumber Rs 70 to 30%. Like I said ECs don't stop us from winning WHEN WE VOTE. If they did GOP wouldn't be trying so hard to take away voting rights today. Elon hacked this election, not EOs why we lost.
Tea Bag party was very successful. They managed to keep aholes like Cruz and McConnell in office. MAGA is just Tea Party 2.0. And they currently have WH, Congress and Senate. That's success.
The tea bags are not successful as demonstrated by the Trump tax cuts that drive the deficit up $4 trillion ON TOP OF the $4 trillion in Covid spending.
It’s a fucking myth to think the baggers accomplished anything positive.
House Republicans have shown they lack the integrity and will to act.
Trump never had any integrity.
Musk is busy unwrapping the shiny new toy he bought when he saved Trump from prison.
Giving these guys a "stern talking to" isn't going to accomplish anything. The People need to act.
Get Pete Buttigieg out as the public face of the opposition. Everyday. Speak to the media to support AOC/Crockett/Murphy and team brawling inside. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social
You should. Neoliberalism is exactly why we are in the problem we are. Neoliberalism is not equipped or capable of countering Fascism. In fact, it’s been enabling it for the last 30 years.
Well, it's had some help from the Far Left as well. It's similar to what happened at the end of Weimar. The Communists told the Social Democratic Party they'd rather burn everything down than work with them. They saw the SDP as the real threat, not the Nazis. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/communists-allied-with-nazis.html
Neoliberalism is both a political philosophy and a term used to signify the late-20th-century political reappearance of 19th-century ideas associated with free-market capitalism. It also encompasses the ideals of upholding the current systems instead of progressive change.
But the Dems still won't do it. They let Thune fast-track three big nominations today by allowing unanimous consents so they could all have a four-day weekend. Not a SINGLE Dem objected.
They had lots of time to text message me for $$, though! Grrrr
Call you members of Congress. Join Indivisible. We can curb the worst of Trump's excesses if we pressure Congress into doing so. It's worked in the past three weeks, it will continue working.
One of the two parties has discovered we're not a three branch government of checks and balances if you have all three branches. If Dems won't utilize every tool they can reach—certainly, at least those within the letter of the law, we will become a one party government before the mid-terms.
College+ white ppl shifted toward Dems; Asian, Native American, African American (esp men), and esp Latino voters shifted toward Trump. Dems have lost much of working class across most ethnicities. Unless Dems start to deal w this, we’re gonna keep losing.
Hype. USA white people haven't chosen a president from the Democratic party since the civil rights act was passed. Basically, white people voted the same as they have for the last 70 years.
It truly doesn't matter. Trump's talks shit about his voters or their fam/friends to their faces and they still voted for him. His supporters are statistically less educated and less informed. Trump even knows it.
How are yall still looking to democrats to save you? Nothing they have done since the war on Gaza has told you that they have your best interests at heart. You think the people who facilitated genocide will stick their necks out for you?!
Good video! AOC also spoke to the pol and explained a lot of what you also said in your video. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie have also been infomative and seen to doing what they can to slow musk & trump down.
There are some senator cry babies out there too. And those may lose votes.
I do worry a shutdown would just effectively authorize and accelerate much of what they are trying to do and take a lot of their opposition off the field.
Absolutely. “No help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” should be a universal principle. But today, we see the opposite: far-right leaders like Trump, Milei, and their global allies are rewarded with votes while openly attacking democracy, science, and basic human rights.
They destroy ecosystems, privatize what belongs to everyone, and turn hate into policy. Why should we help those who only help the powerful? No votes for those who burn forests, deny climate change, and spread lies. The future is at stake.
Yes - but my two democratic senators did not see it that way. @johnhickenlooper and @michaelbennet.bsky.social I am so disappointed in them! #michaelbennet #johnhickenlooper
Kevin: Thanks, BillThePony. This just in - The Democrats in your district & also Kamala Harris I guess need $25. Can you pitch in & save Chuck Schumer today?

Don't forget that the Electoral College is a winner-take-all system in most states, it only takes a plurality of votes to win all of the EC delegates.
A handful of MAGA idiots has condemned the world to who knows what.
77 million votes to

Again, the Americans decided using their election system to put THAT person back in the job he had lost?
