Don't worry, they're cooking up some absolutely DEVASTATING fundraising emails.

rocknrollghost.bsky.social•23 days ago

This is the most terrifying thing so far

audreyii.bsky.social•23 days ago

There's no reason they can't take a page out of the (much braver) state house DFL handbook. Boycott. Don't step foot in the Capitol building until Elon Musk no longer gets to read the HR files of federal employees.

like, people in YOUR OWN STATE in your OWN PARTY are doing it RIGHT NOW.

Amy is going to make sure me have a National Eagles Day. Good fucking luck with Dems saving us. They throw fights for a living.

With all the xenophobia in the Republican party, I'm surprised a South African Canadian is allowed in these buildings.

dreadlichking.bsky.social•23 days ago

An illegal South African immigrant at that. He overstayed his student visa.
When you can write big enough checks it doesn't matter how sketchy your immigration process was.

Another Minnesota constituent here. I think we have the most centrist of centrist’s as our senators, good luck with anything more than a tsk tsk. Wait…maybe some voter shaming mixed in as well. I don’t think the Calvary is coming anytime soon

spacepig.bsky.social•22 days ago

C'mon man, it's the weekend, you can't expect them to work.

zooropean.bsky.social•23 days ago

For some reason I keep going back to this when I see people demanding the Democrats do anything:

h00pla.bsky.social•23 days ago

That is an excellent recreation of Democrat officials when they're expected to actually do something

zonedweebie.bsky.social•23 days ago

Should we be really freaking out? I feel like we should be REALLY freaking out.

dynamitelaserbeam.bsky.social•23 days ago

They make it so damn hard to vote for them every single election.

victoria-d.bsky.social•23 days ago

It would seem the Dems are biding their time til the mid-terms, where they will fundraise on fear. What they don't realize is by that time most minorities will be in camps, the country will be destitute and the outcome of the election will have already been decided in favor of the Repubs.

victoria-d.bsky.social•23 days ago

Oh, and in an effort to be "bi-partisan" they will attempt to appeal to the far right, while chastising the left. All in the name of... well I was going to say democracy, but that won't be around either.

sfinfidel.bsky.social•23 days ago

What are they doing about it? I expect they're interviewing strongarm thugs to protect against Proud Boys.

deadhead-dj.bsky.social•23 days ago

They are an advisory panel. They have zero authority to do anything.

fletch44.bsky.social•22 days ago

They'll write a hardly worded email

futuristic-hexagon.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah it'll likely read something like "please, no do! Old paper says no do!
-Senate dem"

Think the folks voted to uphold it and upset over this forgot that laws (including the constitution) are only worth the paper they're written on if there isn't anyone trying to actively enforce them properly.

fnord3125.bsky.social•23 days ago

they’re going to wring their hands and compose some strongly worded tweets.

thekiduknow.bsky.social•23 days ago

Thank you, I copied the message since I can’t call at the moment but feels good to say something at the moment even if it’s on here
