Senator, do you have insight into what precisely is causing Republicans to completely abdicate their power as the legislature and succumb to this takeover? Are they afraid for their lives? Or just their political positions?

donmassey24.bsky.social•96 days ago

You need to get a whole lot more public and a whole lot stronger in your public comments

Softness loses

This comes from a liberal Simsbury Democrat

Senate decorum be damned

Get tough or they’ll crush every Dem who goes soft

This is a fascist state

Time to fight!

All in Putins playbook.

Dems in Congress need to stop tweeting and start taking other actions. Leave the tweeting to us.

If you have to stage sit-ins at the Capital, do it!

Call for protests!

Organize!

Fight!

It is extremely popular though you are right that a functioning democracy wouldn’t allow it.

brjones146.bsky.social•100 days ago

How do you get 4 GOP senators on board with the fact that trump has gone too far? Will any risk a primary to defend our republic?

laurarc.bsky.social•100 days ago

I think we can help by keeping the pressure on and continuing to call offices. I know both Ohio Senators, so I make a point of calling their offices and leaving very specific messages—ones that remind them of our shared history and that the community is watching 😉

Tyrants don't care about popularity, and we are no longer a functioning Democracy.

In a time of kings, democracy was a redistribution of power. In a time of billionaires, unconditional basic income is a redistribution of power. Democracy and UBI support and reinforce each other.

Impeachment. Surly there are some republicans not up for re-election (like Mitch who got us here) who would vote to impeach

Hammer Republicans on their hypocrisy, corruption, and anti-working-class policies - loudly and relentlessly.
Embrace a fighting spirit: no more passive, defensive politics, if Republicans play dirty, hit back harder with facts and emotion. It's a war!

Research & challenge if Trump Executive Orders are legal. An Executive Order is a directive by POTUS & subject to judicial review. 1st stack was put on desk&signed were written B-4 he was POTUS. Who is writing & reviewing them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_order#:~:text=The%20ability%20to%20make%20such,being%20issued%20by%20the%20president.

Please convince some of your republican colleagues that they are being used and will become powerless and irrelevant if he
succeeds. He has shown himself to be untrustworthy and once he doesn’t need them he will turn on them too.

mackymac.bsky.social•96 days ago

Chris - Don’t be afraid to get specific about how Gov and Venture Capital have gamed the system. Go back and point out the specific actions taken in the 1980’s that led to Shareholder primacy, downsizing, offshoring, the neutering of anti-trust laws.

mackymac.bsky.social•96 days ago

Then POINT THE FINGER directly at those offenders who stole $50 TRILLION from working people. Be specific. Americans are smart enough to see what happened if you lead them to the information.

woodworksally.bsky.social•96 days ago

I watched the Principles First Summit on YouTube today and it was incredibly uplifting. I love the message to Americans - don't be afraid, don't think "it's too late" - that's what they want you to believe. STAND UP and SPEAK OUT

dysio.de•95 days ago

By that metric we haven't had a functioning democracy for decades. You have the power to grind the senate to a halt, use it. Force them to officially shut down the government, it won't be any more painful than what's coming if you have a milquetoast response now

annelise54.bsky.social•94 days ago

Don’t let your colleagues bail them out on the debt ceiling. Better a crash than losing our democracy. Trump plans to crash it anyway.

godis4ever.bsky.social•100 days ago

If you stand with Chris Murphy repost this. It’s time America; we’re losing too much to wait. If “We the People” don’t act now America, the Beautiful will become a morally bankrupt wasteland. Wake up!

momrunninglate.bsky.social•82 days ago

But we can fight. Protests growing larger, louder, and more numerous everyday: one planned for this coming Friday 3/14 (sec 3, ammendment 14) more than 200,000 vets protest mass fires and cuts to VA. All are welcome.

We won't be silenced!

He’s got over 1M on X too, but his comments section breaks my heart. Lots of bots, lots of cruelty and abuse. I go to battle in the comments there with my shadow account when I can to provide access to a sane counter-viewpoint. Civil discourse and basic empathy feel almost nonexistent for Dems there

You people in Congress and the Senate better f-ing do something a lot more drastic than posting on Bluesky and Twitter. You guys need to call in Rick Wilson or someone like him to show you how to fight. JFC. We are now a part of the new Axis of Evil with fucking Putin!!!

mrhimbo.bsky.social•100 days ago

Senator, what are you doing about it? We need to see you walking across the aisle and having these conversations in good faith with your R counterparts. They are acquiescing every single thing trump does, and its terrifying to see such blatant sycophantic behavior.

civil4liberties.bsky.social•100 days ago

Citizens think “no MAGA wouldn’t do things to deliberately hurt the economy, or
stock market”. Really? Elon warned us there will be economic pain. So did trump. This is part of their plan. MAGA wants us poor. They don’t want agencies that can fight back at them (MAGA.)

afterophelia.bsky.social•100 days ago

I appreciate your fight. Would be nice if you could get some Republican colleagues to recognize out loud how insane this all is. Privately, they must know

Trump is not King, and Musk works for China. The Russian influence on both doesn’t seem to matter anymore, but have we surrendered to China too?

afterophelia.bsky.social•100 days ago

If they don’t care about selling out Ukraine, or aligning America with despots if it serves person business interests, and they don’t care about him granting himself the exclusive right to declare what the law is — surely they care about the explicit deal Musk clearly has with China?….

afterophelia.bsky.social•100 days ago

Steve Bannon knows. Musk knows he knows, and Bannon might be the only one who scares him.

MAGA still listens to Bannon. Trump still listens to him… you gotta get Repubs to see Musk can be dealt with

Musk has said Bannon’s name 3 times in 7 years. If you know Musk’s usual style, you sense the fear
