A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.
As your member of Congress, I’ll use the House’s investigative powers to question Pete Hegseth to his face about whether he wants to repeal the 19th Amendment because the American people deserve a sworn response even though we already know his answer. Katforillinois.com
Kat Abughazaleh is running for Congress in Illinois' Ninth District because Democrats need to do more to stop Trump and fight for working people.
They do talk. Text asking for money.
Time to fight ladies. Forget the gloves. This will be bare knuckle hand to hand. Bring a gun and an attitude. Don't let them make you our slaves again. Why would you let them treat you like this? Why wouldn't you fight before they turn you into sex slaves for brutal wife beaters. Kick some ass!!!
Funny how no one voted like their rights were on the line…
#DontBooVOTE
It is not because they can't. Even if they have no success, their efforts on our behalf is a win. Most choose to remain in the shadows, content if their job is safe and no more is needed from them then the requirements, maybe some lil fiefdom in a far away place.
He must be using A Handmaids Tale as an instruction manual. These people are the US Taliban
😠
Democratic party leaders don't listen to their voters, they only listen to their donors.
!!!! Is this true? Shameful. Appalling. Unacceptable. UnAmerican.
Is it the Doug Wilson video?, because holy hell people need to read @swordsjew.bsky.social ‘s book immediately to understand how wildly dangerous Doug Wilson is. He would make Gilead look moderate.
And not without a fight!! Thank you for fighting
Yes, WHERE are the democrats and why won’t they use this as a warning and a campaign issue?
There should be NOTHING to be afraid of a fat illiterate, syphilis-infested felon, rapist, pedophile, traitor, insurrectionist!!!
#TrumpMustGo
Women need a complete walkout ala Iceland
You americans are doomed, the democratic party is too worried being afraid of socialism for you to actually have a well organised left wing movement to oppose this autocracy
Kat, you have to start distinguishing people by their deeds and names, otherwise it’s just the same right wing generalization propaganda the other side lives on. I thought you would know better. This way you just look like a troll. And this comes from someone who’s very progressive. Think about it.
I would never have known about the tweet had you not shared its existence with me. You are promoting his message.
I’m sure Schumer will write a stern letter.
What do you think they should do?
I’m sure Chuck and Hakeem will draft up a nice letter to send to people who have demonstrated they don’t read anything ever.
Women are third class citizens in the usa.
So funny. Americans have cried about countries and their religion as being "in the stone age" as it relates to women's rights. And here we are, the true colours of America shine. I think basically, humans can be good, but deep down we are a shitty species, flawed and hateful.
Our rights are on the line AGAIN. You can forgive one mega fuckup. But not repeated. First they took control of our bodies. Now they are coming for our votes. The only ones I see actually doing anything about any of this are the Dems of Texas and Corey Booker. When will these fools fight?!
The Dems are a Political Party. MAGA is a Religious Cult. How does an outsider stand up to a Cult? Christianity. Judaism. Islam. LDS. JW. Christian Science. Scientology, etc. They all have the belief that what they are doing is pre-ordained by their Supreme Being. Got any ideas?
Liberal's idea of resistance: Attending the occasional Democratic party managed "protests" like "No Kings!" that are little more than parades.
All while their elected Democrats keep funding genociding Palestinians.
anyone who has genuinely paid attention to this regime & the Christo-fascist movement behind it knew of this goal 20 years ago. The warning was even more strident 2016-2020 and even more so when Dobbs passed -and more still when project 2025 was revealed. 🦗🦗🦗🦗
On the line? I would say under the boot about to get the ever loving shit kicked out of them.
They're not totally silent, they still have enough energy to tell you you're overreacting and that it's possible to negotiate with people who want you dead.
See....POWER....comes with CONTROL. Democrats THOUGHT they could impose justice on the "man who would be king" by impeaching him for what seemed to be historically heinus acts- but found out they were just shy of the numbers to get the job done. NOT ENOUGH VOTES IN THE SENATE FROM REPUBLICANS
maybe they want the same thing? why else would they be quiet. is there one reason to be quiet? are they afraid?
Taliban + 1937, Germany
I said they’d go after women’s right to vote a long time ago, during the campaign, and was told that I was crazy, that would never happen… but why wouldn’t they roll back that Amendment to the Constitution which they ignore daily? MAGA GOP goons are prob planning to make slaves of the kidnapped ones
I don’t think enough men will fight along side women if it ever comes down to this administration actually trying to take our voting rights away.
I’m beginning to think that the Democrats are as compromised as Trump, MAGA and Republicans.
Another Rep said women are hosts to babies the other day. I'll try and remember who and where.
Where are you Dem leaders?!? Heads in the sand while mumbling about bipartisanship. Most of the Dem leaders are worse than useless.
My grand daughter could kick Hegseth ass! As a matter of fact, every woman I know could because he is all talk and waiting to walk. Guys like him talk people into being afraid of them, he’s got no honor, no code. He’s a fucking coward!
SECDUI committed several felonies when he was discussing TS attack plans on Signal.
"We are losing our country right before our eyes," one social media user wrote.
Where did he share it?
AOC, Crockett can not do it alone. Everyone should be jumping on that rapist asshole Hegseth
One party is trying to kill us, while the other party doesn't want to interrupt them out of fear of being rude.
This whole thread has that Twitter feel. Is Kat real or is this just bot farm stuff? It sure includes bot farm stuff right out the gate.
This! 🔥
I’m sure there are a lot of strongly worded letters being written as we speak.
It's complicity not silence
They're too busy trying to make sure they don't miss the next cocaine and sex party on Wall Street.
As soon as you're elected, what will you do to stand up? What are you asking them to do right now? Be specific.
We need NEW LEADERSHIP & we need it NOW!
I keep saying it, but once again the term "Democratic Party leaders" is an oxymoron.
to claim that the Bible promotes the view that women should submit to men is a corruption of the Scriptures conducted by hypocrites.
Handmaid Tale’s territory
reversing Roe v Wade was a test. (and it had nothing to do with fetuses).
it was a test to see what would happen if certain rights were taken away from american citizens -- to see what would happen, if.
essentially, nothing did.
women and children are always going to be the first victims
Yes, that is right. But if mainstream Democrats don't stand up and fight the progressives will take over the party and the Republicans will have an easier time retaining power.
This last part is BS.The news media is not covering at all what our democratic leaders are doing. Besides,we were stupid enough to make them a minority in Congress and MAGA was evil enough to take over the Supreme Court. Sowing hate towards our party will only attract the one issue voters and bots.
So, nobody was really paying attention when trump actually entered the 2024 convention to the tune, "It's a man's world." Wake the fuck up!
It's almost like they're rolling over and allowing it
Oh yeah they all work together against us the Democratic representation is made up of skeletons collecting a check they don’t care about people they’re cowards worried about their own bottom line
Democrats are doing stuff. J.B. Is sheltering Dems from Texas. Why are you angry at Democrats for Republicans actions? It makes no sense to have so much fire for Dems when they’re doing what they can. We’re all living under authoritarianism rn.
He’s a drunk!!
He’s a fucking drunk, where does he come off dissing women!! what kind of woman is he married to that stands for this?
We need more people like you in Congress. These feckless politicians are not sustainable.
So very true. The most shocking aspect of this fascist regime has been the dismal opposition of the Democratic Party leaders, past and present.
Has anyone studied what activists have done in other countries to defeat Coups in their countries? There are many examples But 'merikkkans don't need no advice. They know it all already.
Poland, Phillipines, Brazil, Italy, Czech Republic....
Fuck him. The ERA is law, just not part of the Constitution So yeah, he needs to over turn the law
OH Never mind
The Dems are going to be very surprised when a whole new batch of Dems are voted in, you will either show us you will fight for us or we'll vote you out and get a stronger batch in
Pete Buttigieg is the only Dem not currently in office who has used his voice to call out the regime on an almost daily basis, and thank God for him. He speaks clearly, concisely and explains how what is happening in government is affecting the average American. We need more Petes.
Witches on this app must curse him so his dick falls off. That will quiet him up permanently. All men who threaten to enslave women again must meet the same fate with a spell, a curse, a rusty knife, I care not which.
🤬
You’re young. You think bitching about your team is an effective strategy. People like you elected Trump, hun.
WTF Democrats?!?! Stop clutching your pearls and saying “Oh Lordy”! Get out there and fight for this country, for democracy, for US!!!!!
I suspect the real power behind this administration would prefer that no one was allowed to vote. Technototalitarianism is the end game of the authors of Project 2025.
Would appreciate a reliable source link for this story. Accusations here on BlueSky are a dime a dozen. Easier to act on reliable stories.
The backward march to the dark ages continues.
He has to sleep sometime,just saying.I don't want to get suspended again. Use your imagination, ladies.
Ladies, we are just here for babies making food, cleaning, and sex.Thats what they want and think.Women raised these monsters WTF!
How dare you say they aren't standing up? Have you failed to notice the anti-gerrymandering actions? I am so sick of people who aren't doing anything except attack our side. What are you doing that elected Dems aren't doing? Talking and posting? That's nice, but anything else? Oh. lawsuits?
It's time for a clean slate here. Obviously the great American experiment has alot of fatal flaws. The forefathers didn't foresee all the bullshit added, subtracted, divided & then multiplied by each party. You can't have one side in total control. #NoKings #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
This is NOT a gender issue. No Americans can be trusted to vote responsibly. It’s time to come back home to the Empire.
Does that mean women shouldn't be able to sit in the house of representatives? If so I can think of at least one that I would remove 🤔
You can blame the Dems in congress all day, but the people truly responsible are the American voters, or more importantly the non-voters. And constantly publicly shitting on Democrats isn't helping.
Economic Blackout today August 9th. 24hrs.
You know you'd have to be in the majority. You aren't helping.
Democratic Party leaders aren't leading anything. They are protecting their own interests for when Trump installs himself and the GOP as our indefinite rulers, with Democrats providing "opposition party theater" so Trump can deny he's a dictator to the rest of the world, a la Putin.
They make the Taliban look like a human rights activist group… ok, not quite but the way the current fascist regime in the US wants to rule over the country is not so dissimilar.
Video in question linked below (3 videos total) so you don’t have to watch on X or add to their view count.
It’s really important in this moment we watch and learn from what this guy is saying so we know what we’re up against.
I am outraged at the silence of the Democratic party. . .other than a few left jabs, at times, they are holed up in their offices, reaping the benefits that we entrusted them with, to be OUR mouth piece. . .
wtf
It's up to us. ALL 435 US House 35 US Senate 36 gubernatorial seats are up for grabs 2026.

Where is Schumer ? Is he dead ?
Oh please. I know you're campaigning but plenty of Democrats are standing up. Do better.
The Putin's Republican Party are a bunch of lunatics! We must remove Trump, his cabinet members, his enablers, and all his co-conspirators who are illegally in our White House! Musk used his Starlink to rig our 2024 election with lots of help! Both Trump & Musk have admitted in public records!
I think they sorta agree with it…
DEMS won't be silent for long, the one thing they always come through with is a well worded speech!...and then, yes the REP will continue to take away our rights
“They want to take us back to 1950s America”
“They want to take us to Nazi Getmany”
bro they want to take us back to 1600s Salem 😭
Any Democrat who doesn’t diligently fight this administration should be ousted from govt as soon as possible and replaced with someone who will.
"I Wear my Sunglasses at Night" Jeffries and "These Cryin' Eyes" Schumer must be REMOVED.
Well, you must admit, sometimes we do get strongly worded letters
Many Dems are bad politicians / spineless.
BUT a woman just lost (again) to the guy in the 1st presidential election after Roe was overturned. So stand up and do what? Tell him shame on you?
Outraged fighting fem posture is a loser I’m afraid. Dems need to learn how 2 broadly manipulate voters
"Women shouldn't be able to vote" and the elected reps (i.e., Republicans) will decide what's best for women. So, men will vote in men who will tell women what we want. Why do ANY women continue to support the GOP?
It’s disqualifying.
What did you expect from a paid liar? That is all Hegseth is and always will be.
Not OUR party leaders. David Hogg, Bernie, Liz, and AOC are the only ones who have our backs. The rest are compromised GOPs lite. And the compromise seems to be financial or sexual.
It looks like our governors are stepping up!
What leaders?
Hegseth seems to be a Christian Reconstructionist. See: bsky.app/profile/did:...
Democrats! Why is it that the only Democrats in Congress with a set of balls, are the women? The rest of you need to STFU and let the women take over.
They have the power now. I'm surprised we're not back to women can't vote and 3/5ths
Complicit
I used to wonder how you managed to get on CNN so often when posts like this show you have no understanding of how government works, but over time I saw how much you bash Dems—just the way the big media corporations like.
It's because they're all Closeted GQP Members & AIPAC Plants
We need a new political party that's not composed of chickenshits or Republicans.
So, do you know what you would do in this moment in history that would be faster and accomplish more?
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
They are standing up to him however with their majority though slim nothing works and with all the crooked judges that continue to do things that are clearly unconstitutional.
Not silence... strongly worded letters. 🙄
They're using the Handmaids Tale as an instruction manual you know.
www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...
The man who oversees the nation's military reposted a video about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote.
The Democratic lawmakers complicity in the takeover of America enrages me to no end! Their strategy for the midterms seems to be 'well at least we're not Republicans' - the same shit they've been using for over 4 decades now!
WTAF
Gilead
If I had the money, I would start sending spines to the offices of Dems. It's getting to be Halloween time, they could be props, but also I could just become the best customer of dubiously legal bone sellers...
LOL!!
Good to see that those in power have a sense of humour.
A lot better than that cross dressing admiral.
FactPost, the official rapid response team of the Democratic Party, was up quickly at least
There are a lot of Dems standing up.
Only countries with NO elections & Vatican City prohibit women from voting! Others that discourage women are fake democracies. This isn’t about democracy, Christianity or just women’s right to vote! EVERY VOTER male or female, democrat or Republican, rich or poor, any color or religion take note!
The last Census showed the U.S. contained far more women than men. Look it up for yourself.
I knew this would be the next step after Roe, with difficulty to access to birth control inbetween.
The War on Women is full on by pissant cowardly men. Do not stand idle.
Agree!! Maybe Schumer will write a strongly worded letter. 🙄 We need leaders that are willing to fight again these tyrants!
😡
This guy…..never forget what is under those expensive suits….the devil is in those details….
How do you miss everything Dems are doing on the daily to stand against fascism?
America dies with a whimper…
Too frightened to offer any resistance.
Political parties do nothing unless pushed. Murdoch, Thiel, Mercer etc. pushed the GOP to do what it's doing.
You and all of us need to keep pushing Dem leaders.
Oh please, they tell us all the time how they are outraged and some pretty serious letters have been written. Are we paying them to do more for us than we are able to do, is that why we elected them, to fight for our rights and democracy? Shit! Someone should tell them🤦♀️
What if Dem leadership kinda agrees with Repubs on a number of crucial issues & that's why they don't fight, but also knows it would kill their brand?
Also, even Vlad Putin needs an opposition party he can point to and say, "See? Democracy!", and those stock tips aren't going to trade themselves.
Ladies, it is finally time you realize that liberalism only cares about private property and hyperindividualism. Reject liberalism, join the left!
To be fair, Democrats don’t just offer silence: there’s Corey Booker-style performative indignation (sometimes going on for hours); Hakeem Jeffries’ dead eyes and drivel with finger wag, and progressive lens use case Chuck Schumer’s midst-of-bowel-movent sounding whiney helplessness. I mean, c’mon.
The truth is that if women weren’t allowed to vote, the population growth would drop precipitously 🧌
Americans must understand that they live in a corporate oligarchic plutocracy disguised as a fake democracy, their political and justice systems are scams designed to protect the interests of the elites while criminalizing the poor. Democrats are just the other side of the same coin...!
Neither the Dem leaders nor “the resistance” are really meeting the moment of this fascist takeover. Lots of clever memes, tho.
They are not all silent. Look at Sen Chris Murphy, Rep Jasmine Crockett, Sen Bernie Sanders, Rep AOC, Sen Elizabeth Warren, the Texas legislators, Gov Hochul, Gov Pritzker, Sen Elissa Slotkin, Gov Tim Walz, Sen Cory Booker, Rep Jamie Raskin, the list goes on.
Get them girl. Thank you for fighting. I wish we had an army of Kats.
wink
Most of these dem senators are not worth a dime! A shower of grifter propping up a party of paedos. They had years to get Ttump sentenced and finished but never got over the line. Why not?
Our Democratic party leaders are doing exactly what they are paid to do. Be the billionaires' scapegoat, keeping the population from taking any independent action. They exist in a closed system, and change will not come from within.
But Jeffries took this pic. lol
Yes. Let’s keep lighting our hair on fire every time they hurt our feelings (the right). Do you want Shumer to do a press conference and yell into the mic every time trump posts on TS? We all know they are bad. Panicking daily is pointless. Let’s win elections
another thing that's on the Project 2025 agenda. can't believe some are still unable to connect the dots
When they show you their true colours, you should believe them.
True of crappy friends, icky exes, and leadership.
Perhaps we shouldn't rely on politicians to save us and "protect" our rights. *We are the ones who should protect us and safeguard our rights. How is it that so many of us have forgotten this basic truth?
Lindsey Graham’s standard form for review of the current admin: “I'm not going to try to get into the mind of [insert name] because I don't think there's a whole lot of space there. I think [insert pronoun] is a kook. I think [insert pronoun] is crazy. I think [insert pronoun] is unfit for office.”
Progressives fucked us by voting third party and staying home, yet you expect Dems to do something
you want to blast the dems without realizing how many people in america, in congress, in the senate, in state government, in the churches and in the money support this. lets face it american democracy is being erased and alot people on the right who can stop it dont care. its sad!!
Would be cool if the women on the right in Congress would recognize their entire existence offends men ont the right. Would make this whole fight for equality thing a lot simpler if people didn't argue against their own rights and liberties.
Dear Democratic Leadership - Thanks Again for reminding us what we already know - Now go back to accomplishing absolutely NOTHING to save Democracy from the facist criminal authoritarian regime destroying our lives!!
They really only want land owning whites
Well maybe if democrats ask Bibi for permission he’ll let them…. Actually nah he’s never going to say yes. Big Daddy Bibi would rather america just lay low and support his genocide so you know chucks hands are tied … sorry
It's really unbelievable what's going on in your country! But as long as so many women are thinking about Trump being a great guy it's understandable this happens.
Well TBF, Chuck is working on a strongly-worded letter. Should be out next week sometime.
Trump can push only so far before the Constitution trips him.
My GRANDMOTHER wasn't legally able to vote until she was 28. Her granddaughter wants to be able to vote next year when she will be 75.
If you take away a woman's vote, you take away the accountability for what men do to them. If women can't vote, we can't protect ourselves or our children. Not many politicians would fight against losing our voting rights since politicians are mostly corrupt anyway.
I just watched that video and it sent me into a rage. Fuck these Christian Nationalist fucks, I am going to fight for my daughter’s rights until the day I die; whatever it takes.
Hegseth doesn't want women to serve in some positions in the military. He & Trump thought the military was too woke & got rid of (DEI) diversity equity & inclusion so, just continue to bash Dems for Trump's policies when Veterans & Women had the opportunity to Vote for a Woman for President.
Some women ... and men ... shouldn't be able to vote.
All you have to do is look at who is in office. That's the proof that there should be a basic test to have the PRIVILEGE of voting.
Remaining silent and not taking daring and effective actions to impeach, even arrest Trump for treason, is more than disturbing.
There is no democratic party.
Try:
Thanks, #uncommitted.
Vance's financier, Misogynist billionaire Peter Thiel (co-author of project 2025 manifesto) plans to repeal women's right to vote
WoW.
It’s coming. We will end up like Afghan women - look how quickly those Drs, teachers, journalists, students turned into cloaked slaves. Never forget Trump made deals with them. Learned from them, freed 5,000 of their criminals - like Jan 6ers
Distraction from what they’re really doing. That’s trumpism. Here’s a shiny object, stare at that while we rip away other rights. They will NEVER take our right to vote away!
I look forward to the day when people no longer use religion as an excuse to treat fellow humans as social outcasts or as inferior in dignity and worth.
I really like what you stand for, Kat. But in this issue what exactly do you expect Dems to do (more than they are), since voters gave them almost zero power last November?
I’m sure releasing women from the military is coming soon. The lunatics are in charge of the insane asylum and we’re locked out.
Absolutely couldn’t agree more with you. The silence of the Democrats on these issues is really disturbing!! Maybe there are so many issues to address that they have to pick the issues to fight and the others are left alone!!
Yeah you need to look elsewhere for people willing to stand up to corruption.
Silence is complicit
That's correct. They are COMPLICIT
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Kat! You're still thinking dems are different. They want to stay in power as badly as Rs. They are not "win at all costs" like Rs, but they don't want to become unelected or have "mean tweets" posted about them.
What does standing up to the admin look like?
There is no Democratic party. Only politicians beholden to donors. Democrats don't care because they still have their power and wealth. All on the same team. Only when they are in cuffs will they care.
maybe they're on book tours
A Spineless Turd, in charge of our military, can’t even handle a simple phone, offers clueless ignorant shitty opinions!!! ALL of US should be able to vote him out….. Does he know that when tRumpty Dumbty is impeached for treason, he goes too?!!! Doubt it!!!
Hegseth and Republican spousal abuse is epidemic
Chuck writes Letters
Hakeem does hip hop prose
We are so screwed going into the 2026 Elections at this point.....
