Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.
The Rs would celebrate the Ds getting detained in El Salvadore. Everyone going together would be risky as F. If they all get detained, there are no Ds to push back against this shit.
Uh… how exactly are any of them pushing back on anything right now?
Excellent argument. We have no constituents to begin with. Time to increase protests.
Protests? We’re less than a week from martial law. The time for beliefs of peaceful protest is done.
Peaceful demonstrations have ALWAYS played a part in every successful social movement. They shouldn’t be the ONLY thing people are doing. They should be paired with more radical strategic actions. But solely relying on violence is also a losing strategy. We should embrace a diversity of tactics, not shout down people who are out there trying to do something.
I read Donald wants to make those illegal-he wants it like Hungary.
