Political junkie… got hooked on the Watergate trials as a jr in HS. Believe strongly in equality, fairness, kindness, the promise of America that we are still striving to achieve. I’m a wife, a mom, past banker and proud Cape Codder.

Yeah. IF ONLY more ppl had paid attention to P2025. It was designed to break institutions within 6 mos so ppl would be too overwhelmed to fight back. Hoping to see lots more resistance. On a far more positive note- give the world’s most perfect pup a hug for me pls.

Very interesting and informative. True… it may end up just being a delaying tactic and they may force through the redistricting. BUT, the DEMS are resisting and bringing a lot of attention to this power grab and that is very powerful. Making it very public will lead ppl to awareness & resistance

Yeah.. definitely hold Reagan up as someone who is an inspiration to everyone. Pay no attention to Iran Contra 😏 2 things can be true simultaneously:. Israel has a right to defend itself & BB is a corrupt dictator wannabe in the office to avoid jail. The protest vote was never logical. Bye

Yeah. There’s one religious sect that wants the 19th amendment eradicated. P2025 clearly feels women’s role is in the home, having babies, no divorce even if the husband’s abusive. Trump’s an adjudicated abuser, Hegseth, me, too is dying

Nope- I have no proof of that. But (1) Biden wasn’t Pres of Israel. His team trued to restrain BiBi . People KNEW if Trump won the Palestinians would be in an even worse position, but, sure let’s teach those DEMS who weren’t forceful enough a lesson by electing a guy who is fine w/ elim Palestine.

What I do know is that we have had two incredibly smart, experienced women with good plans to help the average person, but sexism and racism was more prevalent than we thought. And corporate greed- let’s not forget greed. Our lives would be so different now.

I knew we had a misogyny problem when Hillary didn’t get elected. My daughter took a sabbatical, moved to Ohio to work on her campaign. She was devastated with how the Dems pushed Biden out. Regardless of how people felt about him/age. He was the only person who ever beat Trump. Was she right?🤷🏼‍♀️

Few ppl are more to blame for the US’ descent into authoritarianism than Mitch McConnell. He broke all the normal Senate rules”rules/norms” to essentially steal 2 SCOTUS seats. Lowered courts have held, but SCOTUS has given Trump so much power. History won’t be kind to Mitch, nor should it.

I’ve told the story sorry if it’s a repeat. At 15 I had a German foreign language teacher. I read the Rise & Fall of the 3rd Reich prev. So I asked her how did the German people let it happen? She said people were living their lives and it just happened. I was appalled. Now we’re seeing the same.

I think they should send both of us to DC. YOU be the voice of reason. I’ll be the flame thrower ☺️, but, we’ll shake it up for sure. Meanwhile, I know it’s summer-vac and all- but, damn there should be more protests going on.

I take your point that media is far quicker to criticize DEMS than GOP. I think it used to be to balance the criticism that they were left leaning. Now I think it’s because majority of outlets are owned by corporations. Seeing the media capitulate even before the election has been horrific.

That feels very much like the protest votes we saw in Nov- “Biden wasn’t forceful enough about BiBi so we won’t vote OR vote 3rd party” giving the guy who wants Gaza as a beachfront RE deal all the power. DEMS SHD be stronger abt it, but the alternative has been disastrous for Palestinians.

Honestly, I think it shd have been a 5 alarm fire starting right after the election. Because it wasn’t, I think citizens thought -ok it’ll be the usual party politics in Congress, but we saw the GOP rubber stamp everything. 3 co equal branches of govt- the only one marginally holding is the courts

Ok-I lied this is the last one 🤦‍♀️-if a Sr citizen from Cape cod, MA cld see they needed a strategy to delay, deny, unify their caucuses from 11/7 because the GOP/Trump are dangerous & DRUM that msg into the public arena- why couldn’t DEM leaders? They were too complacent so the public has been, too

Last one (promise 😏) we don’t need strongly worded letters. We need what Tx DEMS are doing. They should encourage protests, Schumer & Gillibrand shdn’t have yelled at DEMS wanting to vote no on spending. I want them to risk their jobs to yell about the damage to the US constitution- rile more ppl up

And, it’s at this point that I apologize for being INTENSE(my daughter’s fav word for me 😏), but ppl are going about their lives like the descent to autocracy isn’t happening before our eyes. I want ldrs to act like it, there’s too much complacency when we had their playbook P25 for > a yr.

Why ppl aren’t taking to the streets en masse is a mystery! Why we don’t have work stoppages-a mystery. The protest after Booker’s filibuster was so energetic, but ppl see so little from them. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social is good. Bernie/AOC been good. Most have acted like it’s regular order 🤦‍♀️

..even try to pull at least the leadership together to create a strategy. I’m sure you’ve heard Sec Pete explain things- i can’t tell you how many times I (just me) have called saying deny the gop votes on EVERYTHING. If they’re going to destroy America make them do it alone. Protests- you’re right

Instead Jeffries/Schumer gave Jt stmts saying they wld work across the aisle for common good. That gave the impression that the failing of democracy was a campaign was campaign rhetoric instead of P2025 being dystopian. ALL DEM senators voted for Marco. Bet they do and shd regret that! They didn’t

What I want .. …For starters lots of talk during the election of democracy being on the line, then instead of saying that if the GOP was going to rubber stamp everything they’d have to do it alone. The DEM caucus wld deny, delay & hold daily pressers clearly stating bills/appts hurt democracy.

Don’t tell me i didn’t give them enough seats. I volunteered for Kamala, called, did postcards for races in MANY states. Did YOU???. Do not sure why you think you can criticize me. Jeffries & Schumer should have been leading resistance since 11/7 NOT saying “well look for common ground”. FAILURE

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com

You think you’ll outlast our anger and demands. Instead you risk losing DEM members. Millions of us are telling you in calls, posts, emails that you should be FIGHTING MORE- should have been since 11/7/24. History will judge you.
