Hating on racism, sexism, fascism, classism. Intolerant of intolerance is the only way to go. I'll befriend a bigot of bigots any day.

What in the world, Himes?!?!?!? You voted to censure Al Green???? I thought you were one of the good ones?
We need you to approach this administration with seriousness. Oppose in all ways possible. The old rules don't apply anymore. GET SERIOUS! Stand with Al Green, not censure him!

Okay good start to this. But PLEASE don't go the route of Schumer and just say "fighting for you" over and over. TELL US what you are doing to fight!
Also - there's an incredible amount of unharnessed energy out here...all you have to do is tell us what to do and WE WILL JOIN!

Yes, we are....and where the hell are you? I'm an average everyday joe and I've had absolutely no help from you (or Gillibrand or my Rep) with tips on how to organize, on how to fight back. NOTHING from you but meaningless tweets. Stop playing political games and LEAD!!!

I understand a big part of your strategy is to wait it out and let the GOP destroy more of America so you can seem like the better choice....
But you idiots are going to let the whole place burn down, taking too long to do ANYTHING! It will be too late once you finally start to act!

Are you kidding me? Is this how you are “fighting?” What a goddamned joke.

I’m so sick and tired of you saying “the dems are fighting for you”.
Do you think if you repeat it enough everyone will believe it? Lots of us out here are telling everyone, every time you say it, that it’s meaningless lip service. YOU ARE NOT DOING NEARLY ENOUGH.

Would have been nice if you had the balls to stand up and call it out, like Al Green. Stop playing nice, start DOING SOMETHING.

Talk big but vote in his nominees, pass his legislation. Stop half-assing this. Stop trying to thread the impossible needle of centrist middle-ground. You are either against this rush to fascism, or for it. The imaginary middle ground doesn’t exist, and trying to find it will lead to fascism.

Please visit the 50501 protests happening on your doorstep each and every month. Everyone out there are hardworking, caring, patriotic citizens who are motivated and terrified by what Trump and the GOP are doing. Join them, please! They are trying to make a difference! They are your people!

Too bad a bunch of ya’ll voted for Rubio and several other clowns.
Do you have an actual plan other than now raising your hands and screaming “we don’t do it”????

Yes but WHAT ARE ACTUALLY DOING to stop this president from continuing to dismantle our country?
At the rate he’s going, no more elections. The military used against civilians. Geopolitical chaos. We are doomed and you are getting nostalgic?!?!?

These posts are the worst. Our country is on fire, and this is what you do?
We need a far more aggressive plan from you, we need to see you doing it, not these empty words.

Just because you say you are “fighting” doesn’t actually mean you are fighting. We are abandoned by the democrats. Stop saying, MORE DOING.

How? How exactly are you fighting? Because we ain’t seeing it….just lip service releases like this. You are supposed to be leading but he’s playing the Dems like fools, has us on a path to destruction.

Unfortunately they will probably believe whatever Don the Con and his buddy Elon tell them. No matter how bad it hurts.
Until progressives get a unified voice, or someone charismatic and bold to step up and lead, I’m afraid these unthinking folk will continue to be duped.

So they don’t understand what he’s doing, just feeling like he’s doing something. And they like that.
Burn it all down, and somehow things magically work better?!? And they like how Donald is “in their faces” all the time.
They are falling for the grift, the lies, the power grab.
We are doomed.

So i need to reframe it again: Trump allowed by direct order to give a foreign agent, with no sworn allegiance to the USA, entry to government buildings with a team of hackers protected by a paramilitary group.
It's high treason, in any place of the world except the "land of justice", apparently.

Good job getting on record. As one of your constituents, I’m glad to see this. But we need more than strongly worded letters. My neighbors and I are very excited to see you take more action. We need you to take more action than letters.

Anti women, too. And they are also anti-trans. Let’s all call out these bigots!

Tons of us will stand with you, support you, if you just take action!!!! There has to be more that you can do!

Good place to start. We need you confronting, camera crews if possibly, their illegal actions. We need press conferences each time they break the law. We need you doing more. It’s time to step up! Be a hero and go the extra mile to save us all, please!!!

6/staying connected online but with others who value freedom, democracy, respect for others, who value tolerance, unionizing, etc. I’m still going to keep watching and waiting for others who are more brace and influential and smarter than I am, ready to chip in more. But I have to act now, too.

5/planning for the worst. I don’t want to bail ship if things get absolutely dystopian, but I feel like it would be foolish not to plan for these worst case scenarios. Maybe there’s a way to connect with others in my community who also want to join forces and be ready for when SHTF even more.
