Action item: call Rep Hakeem Jeffries and Sen Chuck Schumer and tell them that under no circumstances should Dems attend Trump's speech. When he enters, they need to stand up, give him their backs, walk out as a united front and have a rally outside. 202-224-3121. Call now. - ThreadSky

IIRC @wyden.senate.gov said he's skipping to hold a town hall.

I agree an on-camera walk out is a better MSM hook.

pnw-blue-squatch.bsky.social•82 days ago

I agree! Sadly, good old Adam Schiff is planning to bring a protest guest to send a message. I think this is about all their corporate donors will permit from institutional Dems in terms of protest.

cnroberts.bsky.social•82 days ago

> donors

They're also just very, very silo'd imo. Approx 0% of congresscritters are getting intelligent advice.

parkroseperma.bsky.social•82 days ago

Establishment Democrats in Congress are once again bringing cookies to a knife fight

felicityaz.bsky.social•82 days ago

I called!

gaia2029.bsky.social•82 days ago

Wish I could have spoken to them personally, but leaving messages with their aides/vm will have to do...

ddesilets.bsky.social•82 days ago

@blumenthal.senate.gov are you willing to commit to missing the State of the Union or walking out on it?

We need full support on this one.

parkroseperma.bsky.social•82 days ago

The idea that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov would sit and give an audience and legitimacy to fascism is appalling. Dem leadership are sitting on their hands while America is dismantled and younger reps are screaming for action on behalf of The People.

anitafrullani.bsky.social•82 days ago

Looks like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is all in on fascism, silence means you are complicit in the downfall of democracy @chuckschumer.com too https://bsky.app/profile/ericmgarcia.bsky.social/post/3ljj42bx3522h

catsmeow-wa3.bsky.social•82 days ago

OTOH, they need to be present to support Senator Elissa Slotkin, who will be delivering the Democrats' rebuttal. Unless... she follows Katie Britt's example and delivers it remotely from her kitchen table. In that case, no Dems need attend.

foodogflowerfloozy.bsky.social•81 days ago

Slotkin is a republican plant and poor excuse for a democrat! She shouldn’t have been given that privilege after voting for so many cabinet members…she should not be enabled with her anti social agenda

maraquinn.bsky.social•82 days ago

Completely agree!!

flower-nymph234.bsky.social•82 days ago

America is a uni party, not two

mrssmells.bsky.social•82 days ago

They will connect you to your rep or senator. If you aren't sure just give your zip code

shellygee.bsky.social•82 days ago

Done and done!

wculp.bsky.social•82 days ago

Had you heard the Democrats were going to attend and invite fired federal workers as well? I thought this was a good idea. But then I thought Trump would just say they were “paid actors” like says about the angry voters who attend town hall meetings. 🤷🏽‍♀️

permiejerome.bsky.social•82 days ago

Trump will spew his typical hate and lies whatever Dems do. A complete walk-out when he starts talking will be a majestic and unmistakable rejection.

spellboundmagus.bsky.social•82 days ago

All the calls I’ve made I’ve never actually talked to anyone. Just voicemail after voicemail but I’m keeping it up. My hope is when they listen they say “Ope it’s James again, maybe we should actually do something” I’m a dreamer

abelthethird.bsky.social•82 days ago

Called and left messages for Jeffries. Got an aide at one of Shumers office. Also call Dem Whip Katherine Clark MA 05

danagpnw.bsky.social•82 days ago

Done. Thank you for your voice, proud to have you as a neighbor in Oregon’s 3rd.

melissa4thrivingmt.bsky.social•82 days ago

Agree

judge-m.bsky.social•82 days ago

I like the idea of collectively citing their oaths, then walk out.

1of81million-kc.bsky.social•82 days ago

Done & posted stuff on both Rep Hakeem Jeffries & Sen Chuck Schumer's BlueSky accounts.

wildmthoney.bsky.social•82 days ago

@johniadarola.bsky.social is so truly sorry.. he just done a live shout out and apology to you on his show. Plus, has invited you to come on.

mfmakichen.bsky.social•82 days ago

I did 2x now.

astarrynightstudio.bsky.social•82 days ago

Done and done, actually talked to a person at jeffries office

grammyliz.bsky.social•77 days ago

I tried calling Schumer, you can’t leave a message! That’s not right.

busdriver321.bsky.social•81 days ago

I think it’s worth considering the inaction of Dem leadership may be intentional. They probably know we are well beyond the tipping point and are just saving themselves now.

deecee8.bsky.social•82 days ago

I have another idea - none should wear a suit. They should all dress as close to how Zelenskyy dressed as possible. If trump and his buddies think not wearing a suit in his presence is disrespectful to him, then don't wear one in his presence until he is gone.

hollytroy.bsky.social•82 days ago

Done. Thanks so much for putting this out there.

I just called both @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov

We need bold action - now!

cracicot.bsky.social•82 days ago

We need to do a media black out too.

flower-nymph234.bsky.social•82 days ago

That shit don't work. Ya'll need REAL and DIRECT action

zdgossett.bsky.social•82 days ago

Did it!

streetglimpses.bsky.social•82 days ago

It’s just perfect 👏

thecorvallisbirder.bsky.social•82 days ago

Part of me hopes there is an organized walkout - and Schumer and Jeffries are just left sitting there looking indignant and affronted. It would really highlight how utterly useless Dem leadership has been.

parkroseperma.bsky.social•82 days ago

I said yesterday that every Democrat left in the seats is showing us exactly who needs to be primaried.

thecorvallisbirder.bsky.social•82 days ago

And that is absolutely correct! Wyden's plan to not show up and have a state wide town hall is fine, but I really hope there's some sort of display by a good number of the Dems (not holding my breath though).

curious-aaron.bsky.social•81 days ago

Just called all my federal reps here in Rhode Island! ✅ @whitehouse.senate.gov @reed.senate.gov @amo.house.gov
