We really need it to happen, congress is running around like they are not citizens who can fall victim to these new rules. Before we close the loop holes we need to GITMO them all and send a message to any future fascists. the paradox of tolerance has been broken. We need to acknowledge that when its time to prosecute.

I just need you to think about this. The republican establishment got a bunch of illiterate morons who don't care about their kids.... to invade and take over schoolboards across the country. In a grass root movement. They completely upended educational systems across the country. Fueled by fake news and just enough political guidance to pull it off. I can point to a million things the republicans did in the last 12 years as an opposition party. Dems 0. What the fuck the republicans wrote a whole play book on this shit and no ones going to use it? Why are we not flooding state elections with money and candidates? Why are we not pushing ballot issues in 50 states? Why are we not focusing on election reform in districts, court cases anything. Everything.

Heres a guy with a couple of ideas that seem to be better than photo ops! It would be nice to see a coherent strategy that brought people together. Taking pictures and pretending to resist is not it chief. It's exactly how we got here in the first place. Would love to see a few ideas from this guy come to life. Dragging the ICC into investigate. Starting a civil investigation outside of congress, preparing evidence for prosecution. There are plenty of ideas floating around. I was inspired by Bookers filibuster, i watched for 14 hours. There was no follow up. If you're serious about the fascists and you think that the media is going to suddenly wake people up against them, I have some really disappointing news about media: social, art, and news.

How much oppression do you need before photo ops feel underwhelming? I guess i just have to wait for the hunger to take hold, won't be long now that we've disrupted our agriculture and food imports. big angry hungry mob knows what to do with congressmen who violate their oaths and everyones rights. Democrats are not working to solve this issue. this doesn't go away with Trump. If trump loses Fox news, that doesn't mean fox news is done with this plan. It means their plan got away from them and they need a quiet reset. We can't let this societal rot continue, but it seems we will. As long as the dems can feed you enough false hope through photo ops.

The republicans always lead a good opposition party because they know how to get people pissed, and get the pissed off people involved. We're not doing either lol. Organize more marches, protests boycotts, I want to see more civil rights movement protests, I'd like to see lawmakers organizing those not speeches for the press. Go to republican states, find the republicans who are losing benefits, jobs, houses farms, turn them against republicans. Stop with the TV bullshit, more people watch joe rogan than all of cable news you goobers. its a new world and we let joe rogan hand 15% of trumps voters directly to him. You want a CNN clip. Bro get with le Times.

no I think you’re missing my point when you guys are done taking pictures. Let me know when it’s time to do a totally legal and patriotic January 6 event. I agree with most of your sentiment and words. I just don’t agree with the action behind them. I want more.

Well to my point it sounds like they around rounding up more people and sending them to El Salvador today. Maybe they can talk to all of them when they’re down there and get a picture of each one. Or the next 200 that they send on Easter or the next 200 they send the day after that

Fair enough. I didn’t realize Fox News was reporting on this issue. I’d say that is meaningful. I’m going to have to hunt that down because I hardly believe it.

Well, if they’re all fascist, then the 70% of Americans who did not vote for this shit need to drag them out of their office and hire someone who’s not a fascist. They are not afraid of the people who are in the communities they represent. And look at you you don’t instill much fucking fear. So maybe we should be focused on targeting the fascist where they live and work. Instead of ya know what ever it is we’re doing to make the next feel good headline about how we’ve slowed the fascist onslaught by a couple inches hooray

Because organizing voters and creating policy and helping it get passed is his actual job? I’m not sure to be honest. Just seems like sending 40 people to release one prisoner while ignoring the institution violating the prisoners constitutional rights is a bigger picture issue. What does freeing this one citizen really do in the grand scheme of things? Just let him get kidnapped in the middle of the night and go through it all over again once he’s back?

I feel like you’re trying to justify your own in action through declaring this meaningful action. Does that resonate with you?

Excuse me for not being realistic enough for your fantasy, I’m sure saudis will take our political dissidents. You understand my point that feeing one person does not stop more people form encountering the same fate

Here’s a wild idea. How about he uses his massive platform to organize some protests and stand in the front line with the rest of us?

And then Trump opens up another prison in Venezuela and we’re right back to where we were. Needing the legislator to legislate.

Well then risking our Democratic senators lives for a picture. Doesn’t seem like a great idea. Does it seems like we should be pressuring those Republican Congress people to resign because they’re in violation of their oaths. How’s that for a fucking message?

See you’re really exposing your age here because you can’t remember a time when we did bipartisan legislation which makes you younger than 25 so maybe you can hold off on the insults for a bit until your ball is fully drop

Ya if I was a senator, I would probably be visiting my republican colleagues districts. I encourage people to bring the protests directly to their representatives houses. Protest their free movement.

My protest sign is a picture of the Jan 6 gallows. I am calling up my Republican senator every day and letting him know that we are very angry and aware of what’s going on.

I want my legislatures legislating that’s my idea. I want them forming voting coalition in the house of Congress to stop this madness. They are not that many votes. There is no chance in hell that all 300+ Republican Congress people are in on this grift. there’s no way they have the strength to continue this grift if their houses are under siege by angry mobs

This is a photo op. Sorry they are legislators using tax payer money to take a photo. These trips yeild no results in preventing further people to be deported. Nice try tho!

The republicans are showing videos from inside CECOT. They also came down for photo ops, their voters love it. Your not changing any minds, its a photo op for your side. You're still going to the camp. Take a photo when you get there this fall.

Found the guy in charge of the DNC. After Elsalvador the 40 dems can go to Gaza and sing Kumbaya. Lots of great opportunities for photo ops there. Anything but writing or passing legislation am I right! Fire up those private jets its vacation time before the vacation! and then it's time to get together and pass a 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Then no more legislating for the year, and back to those photo opportunities.

Said the guy who just wrote a delusional fan fiction. Looking for a TV win instead of a policy win. I'm not sure you understand much of anything outside of creative writing.

You can't force your way into a foriegn country, or prison, or force a president to do anything.

60 members of the senate can stay at home, in their office and pass a law to prevent this. What the fuck is this real world OZ TV braint rot shit i just read.

What if 5 republican senators just joined with the 50 dems and passed a bunch of laws to prevent this? Do you think that 10 dems going to el salvador and being told "fuck off" is going to save our country or more people from being sent to el salvador? Can't we have someone else check on the prisons, someone who isn't incharge of making laws to prevent this from happening? Really just seems like they are beating around the bush of legislating. Lets focus on 1 guy in El Salvador while 330 Million people are fucked at home.

He's a US senator, the right thing for him to do would be to draft and pass laws to prevent this, form voting coalitions, you know the job we pay him for. Flying to el Salvador to take a picture with a prisoner after a Maryland congressman just did the same thing?

They are milking this for political points and allowing it to happen.

This is so far from the right thing to do, this is just trying to grasp at some headlines to make you think we're not already to far gone.
