You don’t have to know how it’s gonna happen. You just need to understand it’s NECESSARY.

My fellow Americans, we are going to have to harden up & be free men.
Tyranny doesn't abolish itself.
We can't hope it'll go away.
We can't pray it away.
We can't protest it away.
We can't vote it out.
We are gonna have to be brave, live free, & fight our way out.
Revolution is the solution.

Let’s send Mikey the message that starving millions of children, elderly & the disabled isn’t a damn game!

Vote him out as Speaker now! Just 9 GOP reps!

Lol. What kind of insane ranting is this?
Is this a parody?
All you have done is insult and deliberately lie about nothing.

I think a Motion to Vacate the Chair is an important tool to threaten.
In case Johnson refuses to do anything until tells him to.

Response:
Promoting that is somehow racist

Romney passed in Massachusetts the only health care plan the GOP supports.
The Individual Mandate.
The Affordable Care Act.
Obamacare.
The most conservative plan out there.
But they must hate i…t b/c the black guy passed it.

Jesus, what a bunch of whiny asshats.
Insult , one after another.
Smug, conceited, assholes.

Fuck you and everyone like you.

Interesting analysis.
Thank you.
FYI…
I’ve seen white supremacy up close.
I grew under the stars and bars.
I know the damage it can do.
And the wasted opportunities to rise above it.
I’m trying to do something good w/ my privilege.
Find solutions.

I just support Motion to Vacate the Chair. Crockett’s office is working in it, and I left a message with Leader Jeffries, whom I think has been ineffective as a leader.

I ADORE Crockett fellow Texas lawyer.
Why does race play into my calls?

Citizen Jones @citizenjones123.bsky.social · 10h

True, racism is a plague on humanity, appealing to weakest and worst mental capacities.

But I called Congress to support a Motion to oust Johnson, who has frozen the House.
I left voicemail messages w/ Jeffries and MTG, and actually spoke w/ an assistant in Crockett’s office.

How is that racist?

Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

You guys responded to me. You are incredibly mistaken about my messaging.
So, I speak honestly.
I’m in a good mood.
And I despise racism and bigotry.
You are the only ones who keep bringing up race.
So, why would you make weak arguments and accusations?
Find consensus instead of purity testing.

Citizen Jones @citizenjones123.bsky.social · 12h

🙄😏
I had work to do, okay?

BTW, I ADORE Jasmine.
I worked in her district.
She shows the toughness of Texas law. The viper pits of racist courtrooms makes her bulletproof.

Wait… a “dude”? GENDER OBJECTIFICATION!

😉 MTG. Left a nice voicemail.
My conversation was very pleasant and thankful.
(Boss them around? Really, WTF?)

MTG is going through something, and knows the only GOP plan was the ACA, so there is no plan.
Medicare for All IS the only option now.

Obama: What a speech in VA & NJ!? Right?

Citizen Jones @citizenjones123.bsky.social · 12h

Well I certainly don’t just harass Black Members to do my bidding.
I would not tolerate someone suggesting that

And I left a voicemail for MTG as well.
Told her she could save health care and hungry kids with another Motion.
Johnson will not open the House unless Trump tells him to.
And be a hero.

You sounding really nasty.

Citizen Jones @citizenjones123.bsky.social · 12h

There’s nothing more representative of America than the black woman. They’ve done more than their part.
But we learned proper protesting from 2020.
White faces need to be on the front lines. Especially when it gets violent.
Fascist Propaganda is fueling racist hatred.
But one beaten up white vet?

Well, here’s why I was upbeat.
I spoke to Rep. Crocketts assistant yesterday.
Just called Congress. She picked up.
(I KNOW!😁)
Told me that they are considering the Motion, but they aren’t there yet.

9 Rep aren’t there, but when then shutdown goes on to December, R’s will be forced to take action.

Posting the latest thing They’ve done, is a bad thing, but it’s important enough to know b/c it fits in the same bigger story.
To try to reach more people.

Citizen Jones @citizenjones123.bsky.social · 12h

You guys are silly.
Can’t pick up on sarcasm.
And bitter, but silly.
I’ve been arguing for a Motion for weeks.

Citizen Jones @citizenjones123.bsky.social · 12h

Oh ffs, it was sarcasm!
Staples?
Focus, folks.
All that is going on are stunts.
Make vacating a viable option.
You guys are silly.
Smartasses, but silly.

Imaginative, but that’s what MAGA does. Unified communication, among millions of pro-democracy fighters, is the way forward.

Absolute non-violence, until self-defense becomes necessary, is the only way forward.
But Don’t give rightwing extremism another inch.

Citizen Jones @citizenjones123.bsky.social · 13h

That was just a response to the “learn civic” insult.
But Of course there are experts, and they will talk to you.
I called Congress, & Rep. Crockett’s assistant talked to me.
I KNOW. 😬
Kinda why I’m a little fired up now.
They Know about the Vacate Motion
“But we aren’t there yet”.
Let’s get there
