I cancelled my Amazon Prime account today. Enough is enough! Buying directly from small businesses, not the megalopoly that rips them off when they sell on its platform.

Thank you. We must be united and take action. Contact media like the NYT and WP to say it like it is, a coup. Call an write and show up to tell Congressional representatives to get off the dime while there is still time.

Stop all activity. Don't vote on any Republican-only legislation. Block nominations by stays. Demand a quorum. You've got to play hard ball. Realize that angst, poetry and licking wounds won't suffice.Take ACTION! Don't be liberal dopes as deluded as those blowing up USG #takeaction

Yes. Call for votes on issues that won't win just as the Republicans did to slow down progress. Demand a quorum. Put a stay on all nominees. Dems we aren't in LaLaLand anymore. It's time for action, not angst and posting poetry on social media. #takeaction

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
