A Defense of Al Green.
"Am I alone in feeling it was good to see some fervent conviction and righteous indignation? Am I the only person who was happy to see, in a sea of Democrats waving little paddles with lame messages, someone literally standing up to Trump?"

💪 Al Green showed COURAGE when others stayed silent!
🛡️ Standing up for truth takes strength.
❓ Where are the others? Silence = Complicity!

Get up. Stand up. Don't give up the fight!
Risk, risk, and more risk dealing with Kremlin directly ?
No mercy. No quarter. No surrender. No surcease.
Fire with fire.
Déformation professionnelle.
They just cannot grasp that someone might play the game not by their familiar, acknowledged rules but by his own.
What Rep Green did is amazing but it’s not stopping Trump. Non of it is.
Stop complaining at democrats doing what they can… my god.
“And still I rise, a proud, liberated Democrat, unbought, unbossed and unafraid.”
Rep. Al Green removed for having cahoonas. Dems need to grow a set, civil ones, of course. But darn it, grow a set!
Stephen Colbert sums it all up the best for Dems
1) Didn't take any action
2) Voted to censure one of the few people who did take a stand
I'd like to provide a scorecard for the next time your Fascist-sympathizing mouths decide to make a statement.
laser Greene and hand job boebert?
Dem State AGs stopping DOGE through lawsuits.
House Dems voted against budget unanimously.
Focus on your former party and their nazi insurrectionists.
es gibt kein Put
Not at all, Bill. Right there with you. Democrats are afraid to risk anything. If a person is afraid to risk anything, you can take everything away from them. Including their country.
Boebert?
Anyone? Anyone?

I'm becoming increasingly disappointed in the Democrats leadership. I thought @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social would be a fighter, unifying Democrats in this fight for America's Democracy
I'm disappointed
He, along with @schumer.senate.gov, needs to be replaced immediately
There's no valid reason that could justify them turning on one of their own right now!
BE MORE AL !!
righteous anger at the lies from Trump.
#ResistFascism
We want Democrats to DO SOMETHING
It was great
I actually liked that it was an older person & one w/ a disability.
What he said, after being escorted out, was eloquent. He was defending his constituents who are poor. What could be more right than that?
The photos were iconic...like old masters painting compositions
Unbelievable the number of Democrats that still believe they are playing by rules that have long gone by the wayside.
The opposition party is a dog & pony show. We have NO ONE in congress representing us
They have abdicated their duty and abandoned their constituency
Fuck that. I won’t ever be able to wipe away the stench of shame I have in being an American right now. I DON’T love the government OR this country anymore
Fuck America
We deserve whatever’s coming to us
Esp us reviled left folks.
Lovin' you forever...
oh, sorry wrong Al Green.
That would have been good!
How self-righteous must one be to sit through the humiliation of being lied to your face for an hour without push back, and think that gives you the right to judge Green. And no, the paddles and pink jackets were not pushback.
Of course they have different policies but that is the work of a functioning democracy, which we don’t have at the moment.
Thank you for speaking out.
I wish we could all see a lot more of this.
Where is our fight?
I saw what you saw.
One single individual ready for battle. 👀 👀 👀
Or alternatively, a Democratic boycott & counter-event would've rocked.
I'd love a few hi-vis pressers directly calling out the admin's lies and bad actions. Can't they do that??
