So, I was all in on criticizing the Dems for not doing enough

[senseandsensibility]

until a couple of days ago. But now they seem to have gotten the message. They are organizing protests, filibustering in the Senate, and trying new tactics and techniques as many of us have been asking them to do.

Let's not discourage more efforts by belittling their actions. We all want more, better, more effective actions NOW! I get it. But we need to support their efforts so that they will continue.

I just got an e-mail from my Senator (a Democrat) with a survey about what the Senate should do and a list of actions planned. I have been disappointed in her lack of response to the administration until this point. So I contacted her to express approval and encourage more action!

Let's unify and show solidarity. It's our only chance, people! Don't let them divide us. Here's to more and better action!

2. If anyone is in Providence RI area, rally protest at Sen Reed's office Saturday 1 PM.

5. What is the purpose of protesting at Sen. Reed's office?

Not trying to be critical, but he is a Dem right? I know nothing about RI politics, so maybe there's a good reason to protest at his office.

3. I'm also critical but I see they're making an actual effort now

Now we just need all of the different factions (anti-ICE, pro-democracy, Palestinian, environmental groups) to continue pressing on all fronts everyday.

4. Yep, they seem to be hearing us

We need to keep up the pressure.

6. Unity is our power

[senseandsensibility]

9. Absolutely

Even if we aren't satisfied with all the details and timing, let's stay unified! Positivity will spur more action!

10. For those who were criticizing Democrats for not doing enough prior to this week

you need to be aware that the House was not in session at all starting Friday, Jan 24 through thee beginning of this week. SO almost all House Reps were not in Washington for like a week and a half. That's why you weren't seeing most of them in the media at all.

13. Thanks for that info. n/t

[StarryNite]

11. I agree.

And we must do our part too by being a voice of support for what they are doing. And for being a voice for saving our democracy in whatever ways we can.

12. Most of the criticisms were from last week and over the weekend

Dems returned from their long weekend at home and appear to have gotten the message to step it up.

I’d like to think it was Americans pressing them that finally changed their strategy from “finding common ground” and “reaching across the aisle” to full fledged opposition these past 3 days.
