Nah. Be ungovernable.

House Democratic leadership is privately confronting members who spoke out and walked out during Trump's speech to Congress.

Roughly a dozen Democratic “disruptors” — including Reps. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) —…

People need to be publicly confronting Democratic leadership.

All leadership

If their platform is that we need to be nicer, then they can fuck all the way off

Fuck that shit.

Stansbury is another Great New Voice.

mommamia.bsky.social•2 days ago

We’re losing our allies and intelligence partners while our federal government is being gutted because our president is an arm of the Russian government and they’re worried about decorum.

Anyone wondering why Obama is going to basketball games, but not stepping up to lead (like we all know he could!)?

prezcamacho.bsky.social•2 days ago

You need a ground up. Movement... Show Trump... Well show them all the people are the power... National strike?

modernnonna.bsky.social•2 days ago

People have to eat. Majority of voters can’t go without paycheck. That is what fascism needs…voters that are afraid to speak.

lapetisa24.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why? What is the reason?

step2land.bsky.social•2 days ago

Those jellyfish need to find a new job cause there is no way decorum is more relevant than protesting blatant criminality.

knotamagat.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why?

johnpolecat.bsky.social•2 days ago

House democratic leadership can fuck off. They are losing support when they play games. Jeffries is finished. Time for real leadership. He looks like Trump when he speaks anyway. Some people were just born to look stupid.

jeanniet.bsky.social•2 days ago

I hope those private conversations include these words: “Thanks for your courage to do what the rest of us where to chickemshit to do! We will try to be brave in the future. Sorry that we have been unable to rise to the moment. We should either do so or leave government!”

amyjo33.bsky.social•2 days ago

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is picking the wrong issues to assert his leadership authority. Too bad he and @schumer.senate.gov can't get Dems aligned to vote No on all legislation and nominees until Musk is gone and Republicans pull their heads out of their asses.

passonx.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ohhhh, so scared!

asm128.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuck the idiotic 'leadership'.

jillrenee.bsky.social•2 days ago

Current House democratic leadership needs to be replaced asap!!!

mannedaniels.bsky.social•2 days ago

We are NO LONGER IN THE BEFORE TIMES!!! Theology rules (which the GOP never really followed) no longer apply. We must disrupt the fascist attempt to take over America!!!

idgee.bsky.social•2 days ago

So, instead of going after the traitors and thieves, they're going after peaceful protesters who are defending the Constitution? Way to go.

honkydgoofy.bsky.social•2 days ago

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you come to Jesus, you Vichy fuck. Don’t you dare lecture the only members of your caucus with the balls to represent their constituents.

celticboi.bsky.social•2 days ago

My cat agrees with your post

jondawyoung.bsky.social•2 days ago

You have GOT to be kidding!!

starlightwishes.bsky.social•2 days ago

Jeffries betrayed the people of his state by trying to ram through an Anti-abortion judge onto the top court with Hochul. They were stopped. But he showed he can't be trusted.

Jeffries is NOT a good guy. When he says you shouldn't do something .... you know you SHOULD!

experimental22.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fire Hakeem Jeffries. He is not up to the moment. He has to go.

anders67.bsky.social•2 days ago

They still haven't got it, have they? Silence is assent and if GOP won't show a spine they're not a viable partner to discuss with. They should simply lower themselves to their opponents' level.

Time for a new party.

jamiewriteshorror.bsky.social•2 days ago

Democratic leadership…. Be peaceful but please show strength ( I know you have it) and stop being polite. My God!

jamiewriteshorror.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Democratic leadership is WRONG. Rep Al Green did an excellent job. The Democrats who walked out did an excellent job.

starlightwishes.bsky.social•2 days ago

And the ones who didn't do those things need to be GONE!

lynmad.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely ridiculous…try to chastise those standing up for democracy…this is exactly what is wrong with the Democratic Party… bringing white gloves to a knife fight

iris-1960.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well, the ones that walked out, did the right thing. They all should have walked out after the dictator had Al Green thrown out. That is my personal opinion.

julesp1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Nancy Pelosi herself tore up something behind trump what in actual fuck is happening

wolfejaneto.bsky.social•2 days ago

Seeing how tough democratic leadership is on the GOP I hope those that walked out can take the “discussion” they will get.

psstoff-b.bsky.social•1 day ago

House Dem leadership better get on the right side of this. THEY, too, can be primaried.

melaniesky.bsky.social•2 days ago

WTF Dems? When they go low, we SPEAK UP!

happilyblue1031.bsky.social•2 days ago

One after the other should have disrupted him. Made it hard for him to talk.

House Leadership needs to change.

xicaazul.bsky.social•2 days ago

💯

anagram22.bsky.social•2 days ago

There's no high road when you're dealing with someone as low-down and dirty-ass as Trump ...

ffejten23.bsky.social•2 days ago

Every D currently taking the high road, during this fascist implementation of Project 2025, needs to be publicly ridiculed, and primaried come 2026.

mharris1411.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, so weak and pathetic - he's complicit https://bsky.app/profile/hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

icanseeforleon.bsky.social•2 days ago

Why in the world would you attend in the first place?

The criminal had something to say I suppose.

birdmansabresfan.bsky.social•2 days ago

The current model of Dem leadership is failing miserably. For Jefferies to sit there and have the stones to tell other people that their strategies can't be effective, when he's as effective as a wet paper bag, is fucking hysterical.

bobnoftz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Democrats need candidates who are good at mocking people. It’s a high shool popularity contest.
The smart girl with brown skin who got A’s in everything and was nice to everyone lost a popularity contest to a loud mouth white boy who got a D average but was good at snappy comebacks.

knominow2.bsky.social•2 days ago

Everybody should have walked out

stephenlee49.bsky.social•2 days ago

Someone needs to talk with Dem leadership about what it means to oppose a tyrant.

psybinder.bsky.social•2 days ago

Full support for those having courage enough to stand up and walk out on this bs. To those who condemn them - we see you and will be watching your primaries closely you faktriots

stephanieshultz.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m wondering if the dem party has ever seen people so upset? They are so used to being on the right side of history that they aren’t protecting us from what
is coming. The midterms are going to be interesting

whamlett.bsky.social•2 days ago

They have no answers. Keep disrupting.

tim2c2.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agreed. Be ungovernable!

pdxcro.bsky.social•2 days ago

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social , do you have a primary opponent yet? I'd like to donate to them. And kudos to @repdexteror.bsky.social for being in touch with her constituents, don't listen to Hakeem!

knowvak.bsky.social•1 day ago

I called @repmoskowitz.bsky.social . He doesn't even represent me. He's an eel.

What would John Lewis do?

1stangrydino-nm.bsky.social•2 days ago

DNC needs a shakeup.

ledrapeaunoir.bsky.social•2 days ago

Those same members should then ban together and refuse to vote with democrats on anything. That includes the upcoming bonding bill. If they want to sing kumbaya with republicans - let them put their names on that and answer to their voters.

nikkicaw.bsky.social•2 days ago

We should start a nationwide phone bank to blow up Jeffries phones and let him know what we think of it

may-be-milo.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m sorry, but Jeffries and other compliant Dems are rapidly approaching “Kiss my ass” territory.

ireallydontcare98.bsky.social•2 days ago

The House Democrats need new leadership.

binki666.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuck those weaklings they should have all walked out when they escorted green out.

bethehecht.bsky.social•2 days ago

Confronting them to THANK them? They, and the Dems who didn’t attend, are the ones with spines. Yeah, those pink outfits really made a strong statement. Bullsh!t!! C’mon Dems. Stop treating this administration as if it’s normal. Decorum be damned. As they say up north, elbows up, gloves off!

lauriehb.bsky.social•2 days ago

The "House Democratic leadership" desperately needs to wake TF up and understand the serious danger our country is in right now. We're about to become fascist dictatorship and their panties are in a wad about decorum?!?

jcucco.bsky.social•2 days ago

House Dem leadership needs to wake the fuck up and start doing something. They are looking like feckless cowards that can't & won't do anything in opposition to this Admin except hold up tiny, pointless signs. They think chastising the only Dems courageous enough to act is a winning strategy? 🙄

pamsohan.bsky.social•2 days ago

I agree. Every Democrat should have gotten up off their asses and walked out! What the hell are they doing?!?!?

shoezee.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's the incessant noise that republicans have been willing to make for a minimum of 9 or more years that pushed forward their agenda. Being quiet solves nothing.

lasmom.bsky.social•2 days ago

Guts our leadership ain’t got (except Waters, Crocker, Frost, Green, AOC, Warren, Sanders, Stansbury, Gallego and a few others). Thank goodness for them.

lasmom.bsky.social•2 days ago

Confronting them on what?

jxsgrma.bsky.social•2 days ago

House democratic leadership can fuck off. I am with the resistance!!! You keep speaking out, walking out, and resistance and challenge everything they are doing to destroy this country

jimhorn.bsky.social•2 days ago

Where do they rank on the Susan Collins "Concerned-ometer?"

japulver.bsky.social•2 days ago

Whatever happened to #GoodTrouble?

justpassingthru2.bsky.social•2 days ago

Every chance I get, I will vote for anyone who walked out during the SOTU.

courtzilla.bsky.social•2 days ago

Are they being confronted to ask how their energy can be replicated? How they can lead the party — the country — forward???

If not, I see no need for confrontation. They deserve applause & support!

culthalion.bsky.social•2 days ago

Jeffries has got to go! He is not the leader we desperately need now!

mathghamhna.bsky.social•2 days ago

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @whipkclark.bsky.social, @schumer.senate.gov, and @durbin.senate.gov have all proven themselves to be complete and utter failures in the face of rising fascism. They need to immediately step down from their leadership positions before they do even more damage.

drstevenquest.bsky.social•2 days ago

Democracy dies in decorum.

kibbitz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Republicans are using D's "outbursts" to attempt to take away committees.
Leadership is trying to play it safe, but it actually looks like it's not playing at all.

They look weak. They need to be out there holding pressers every damn day!
