NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

This is what happens at a Mike Lawler town hall when constituents ask him questions. Truly appalling and one more reason I will wake up tomorrow more energized than ever to defeat him next November.

Congress is broken because too many people in power are comfortable doing nothing. I’m running for Congress to stand for YOU instead of the few.
We need new people in office that fight for you, not just their re-election.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?"
YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS!
WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

a. It shows you’re not afraid of him.
b. It shows everyone else they shouldn’t be afraid of him.
c. It causes him to lose control and show everyone how weak (and deranged) he is.

I don’t have a specific suggestion yet. But my first reaction is that it should meet these criteria:
1. It should be somewhat subtle.
2. It should provoke him into apoplexy.
3. It should make people want to laugh at him.

Vermont showed up—protesting JD Vance at his vacation spot after he brought shame on this country. Vance had to be moved to an undisclosed location.
Dude constantly trashes blue states but thought it was a good idea to vacation in one. Maybe next time, pick a red state—or better yet, Russia!

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender.
📌They should STILL be talking now.
