“Dems aren’t doing anything!”

Listen man, you need to read the news. Actually seek it out and read it. Preferably local or state news if you have it.

My congressman and Senators are the most boring moderate white guys to ever moderate white guy.

And they are out there every single fucking day raising hell like I haven’t seen in ten years.

They’re boycotting the joint address. Trying to block every piece of legislation and every nominee. They’re trying to get into federal buildings to see what DOGE is doing. They’re holding town halls every week. They’re holding job fairs for laid off feds and connecting them to resources.

These boring white guys are getting up in republicans faces during hearings and screaming at them red faced with righteous fury.

My guys ALONE are doing a fuck ton.

Do you even know who yours are? What they’re doing? Or do you just want to be angry?

And she’s noted, a lot of their best moments ARE posted, they just aren’t going viral

It’s helpful to think of the response as falling into four distinct yet sometimes overlapping categories, each with increasing urgency. These responses include the personal, the political, the legal and the popular.

What we-the-people can do in our homes and communities is different from what elected officials can do in their jobs.
