@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov when is your town hall? where are you? @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

@durbin.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov ?????

i find myself wondering if the D cloture no votes were from the heart. were they performative because they knew there would be enough yes votes? maybe i'm too pessimistic. i should probably just close the computer and rest. @joshtpm.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social @parkroseperma.bsky.social

Senator Durbin @durbin.senate.gov, you let us down. Deeply dismayed to see that Senator Dick Durbin voted YES.

Huh?

thank you @ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov for voting no on cloture. i will remember this.

this aged well

seems like the pressure is working. Americans, thank you so much.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

i love a 3rd party in theory. but there are already a lot of third parties, and they haven't taken off. it will be much easier to change the people within the existing D party. schumer & all cloture-yeses resigning is a start. we could get more active in DNC and change them too. any other ideas?

When your senator says "I will be voting no on the CR" that means they think the cloture vote will pass. They are playing you. Get them on the record as committing to a no vote for cloture. Otherwise, you assume they are voting yes on it. A vote for cloture IS a vote for the CR. Don't get played.

Vote by mail is now compromised. Anything you sent through the mail is no longer going to be safe.

Call your Dem senators right now- urge them to vote NO on the continuing resolution. GOP needs 8 Dems to vote yes and so far only Fetterman secured. They Republicans have made the choice to shut down the govt by putting forth this horrible plan. Dems cannot be complicit in passing this. 202-224-3121

This is the true Democratic leadership. The fact that every Dem's name is not on this -as we watch a permanent resident have his green card illegally revoked, and his freedom taken from him - is very telling.

If I could offer one word of encouragement today, it would be a reminder that we are capable, creative people. We don't have to wait for someone to tell us what to do. Go search up how to connect. Move. We can take the initiative. We can be go-getters. We are the authors of our own liberation.
