Elon is not an elected official.

He is not a senate confirmed appointee.

He is leading a fabricated dept. without Congressional oversight

And he clearly lacks any understanding of government.

He is dangerous and must be stopped.

@jawarajabbi @DebR A couple of tips:

1. If you canโ€™t get thru to DC offices, call your MOCโ€™s state offices. They WILL funnel the messages to DC!

2. As per @indivisibleteam, keep messages short, and do ONE action per call. If you have more than one, make multiple calls.

3. Make sure to state your name, zip code, and town.

4. Leaving a VOICE MAIL is ๐Ÿ’ฏ good if a staffer doesnโ€™t pick up. They are getting slammed now!

@DebR With the gop anything could go in the trash including emails, and phone records. Down the memory hole.
I am thankful that every one of my reps, from city council to Congress to governor is a Democrat, but it's still important for us to remind them who hired them and why.
Red state citizens need to try EVERYTHING to be heard. Even small things like letters to the editor can help. Make your voices heard.

@knordstrom @kataclyst
The fact that so few people have faith in the system is what is leading to our downfall. And we have lost faith because of empty platitudes like what @RepShontelBrown is doing here.

Don't tell us stuff we already know. Tell us what you're going to do about it.

HOW do we work together and resist? What is the plan??

Congress needs to tell the public what they want us to do to stop this. If there is no plan then you're wishing into the ether that this problem is solved in the passive voice without an actual actor. If you don't know what you're asking the public for, what infrastructure and organization exactly are THEY supposed to use to react to this? #USCongress is the infrastructure and organization! So ORGANIZE! Then tell us the official plan so we're not guessing independently!
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

please prioritize this and stop his team before he hacks into another gov agency! He will plow forward until heโ€™s stoped, while the Senate is distracted with confirmation hearings. Dems need to put the brakes on everything in Congress until this is resolved! It is essentially an internal cyberattack, or worse!

Every Dem in Congress should go on strike!

Demand that Elon and his entire team be dealt with!

I do not know the details of us politics and i would like to ask a basic question. How can the Democratic party mount successful opposition against trump when it is not incentivised to do so by a political system with two-party dominance? From the outside perspective it looks like it does not need to do much apart from token resistance and virtue signaling to still be considered the only viable alternative for the republican party. This is not a personal attack on you at all I would just like to know what point do you see in participating in a game which (again to the outside observer) looks like rotten to the core. Maybe the answer to this question belongs in a FAQ somewhere :blobcat:
