Rep. Al Green’s impeachment resolution was tabled on a 344-79 vote, with 128 Democrats joining all 216 Republicans to kill the measure.
The only time Dems and Republicans unite, is to say Israel is totally cool and we should give them more money…
I shouldn’t have to explain why that’s an issue.
But if you do, you’ll get cancelled.
Someone else told me the same thing earlier on a different comment…
And I just gotta disagree.
I’ve been criticizing Israel’s monetary relationship with American politicians for about 20 years now. Before Facebook was invented even.
Never been “cancelled”.
I didn’t want to explain it because I was being lazy. You can 100% talk about why it’s an issue, especially here. If you find yourself being “cancelled” then you may want to take a step back and re-evaluate what you are saying and looking into the validity of it.
I mean, right now we’re on one of the major communities on our instance, openly discussing it…
No one is being “cancelled”
Except for maybe these folks plus the people we don’t know about in El Salvador
Mahmoud Khalil • Syrian‑born Palestinian and legal U.S. permanent resident. • Detained by ICE on March 8, 2025 in New York—reportedly without a warrant—under a rarely used immigration law citing alleged national-security concerns tied to his activism. • Held at LaSalle Detention Center in Jena, Louisiana, for 104 days, separated from his family—including missing the birth of his son. • Released on June 20, 2025, after a federal judge deemed his detention unconstitutional, finding no flight risk or danger.
Mohsen Mahdawi • Palestinian U.S. green‑card holder and Columbia University student. • Arrested by ICE on April 14, 2025, at a citizenship interview in Vermont . • His detention prompted immediate habeas corpus filings; held in St. Albans, Vermont. • Released on April 30, 2025, after a federal judge determined his detention likely aimed to suppress free speech.

I wonder who funds the ones who voted to kill it
Not killed. The Impeachment can still procede, they’ve simply chosen not to do it now when Republicans hold house and senate majorities. The votes needed to remove Trump are 67, meaning you would need 20 GOP Senators.
That’s the removal bit.
An Impeachment without removal means fuck all.
Killed. The only way they would vote for impeachment is if trump stopped doing whatever netanyahu wanted.
Hence why I won’t be voting for my Dem Rep in the next election we may have. Fuck that collaborator bitch.
You think voting independent will help?
I think we’re beyond help.
Exactly. Best we can do is try to limit damage
Maybe those we elect should vote to limit damage then.
Voting for Dems demonstrably hasn’t helped. It would be a good idea to try a different tactic
deleted by creator
Voting third party has a much stronger track record for not helping a damned thing
Well for a different tactic, how about supporting a more progressive candidate in the primary? Just look at the NYC mayoral primary that just happened.
I’m down for that. I’ve been celebrating it since I saw it
They all wanted to bomb Iran anyway
How much proof do you need to understand they are working in concert to usher in an imperial fascist police state. The Democrats don’t oppose the Republicans, they oppose YOU. To them, YOU are the threat.
I think, given the huge leap you’ve made, I’m gonna need a little more proof.
Hanlon says hello.
[Looks at Congress not doing shit to Trump’s constant misuse of his powers]
Yeah sure, big leap. I’m sure they’re actually working on stopping him out of public view, just trust them to do the right thing next time.
Americans are the biggest cowards in the world.
What a fucking timeline, this is incredible 😳
Edit: and I don’t mean this in an insulting manner, I truly feel bad for them. Barbarians are taking over the Rome, everyone is fucked…
“Home of the braves, land of the free”
Friend of mine quipped they have so much, so they also have the most to lose. Unfortunately, they haven’t yet lost so much that it overcomes the dread of having to fight, so all you hear is people complaining on the internet.
Call your representative and tell them you won’t vote for them if they don’t support impeachment.
would ya baby?
Roll call for this vote if you want to see how your representative voted and perhaps give them some feedback.
EDIT: The Clerk’s website went down earlier. When it came back up, it looks like they’re returning the wrong results. The vote to table the impeachment resolution was roll call #175, the number you see in the URL. It looks like it’s now displaying the results for roll call #178 on the page, a vote to adjourn. I’ve updated the link to an alternate view that seems to be returning the results for the correct vote, but please check the title of page in case this gets broken again.
Nice so the site is down now what a joke
Service unavailable on my end. I assume due to high demand, not censorship. I hope so at least.
Honestly at this point I feel like censorship is more likely than not.
Holy crap - We have complicit Oligarchs and not a opposition party. We as the kids say - are cooked.
What exactly do you think the impeachment inquiry will accomplish with a Republican house and senate majority?
The same thing democrats accomplished when they had majorities in both houses. Keeping excuse makers busy.

Every Yea an enemy of the rule of law
That’s confusing, given all Republicans voted Nay.
Alternative link corroborating the original article: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/119-2025/h175
I’m not sure what’s going on with the first link, but that website is impossible to navigate for me.
AOC isn’t on the list?
She is. Nay vote
So she voted No to impeach? Fucking for real.
This was a vote to table. A no vote is a vote for impeachment, or at least continue the process toward it.
no, the vote was whether to ignore the impeachment, so “no” is the correct vote here
I’m confused… all the Republicans voted nay? What am I missing?
Not sure what’s going on with that website–maybe it going down earlier messed things up? Here’s another (much easier to read) source which corroborates the original article: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/119-2025/h175
I see her down in the O’s with a Nay vote. (Which, confusingly, is a vote in favor of impeachment, as the vote was to table the motion.)
Edit: I’ve removed the screenshot because the page is currently showing the wrong vote.
It seems like either they changed the page, or everyone is having trouble reading it (or maybe I am?).
Here’s AOC’s vote on that page, listed as “Yea” for “motion to adjourn”.The “Nay” vote is listed as winning, but everything about this feels backward, so I’m not sure what to make of it.They’re no longer serving up the correct vote. The vote to table the impeachment was roll call #175, you can see the number in the URL. It looks like they’re now showing the votes for roll call #178, a vote to adjourn.
EDIT: this link seems to be working better https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2025/roll175.xml
Thank you!
Another user posted a different link for the actual vote.
It’s just like in the playground; almost everybody want to stand up to the bully, but nobody has the guts. They are afraid the bully will call them names or attack. And when finally one does stand up, the others cowers in a corner.
Not kill, shelve. Let’s be honest, you weren’t going to get dozens of GOP votes in the house and 20 in the senate to remove Trump anyways. If you want Trump gone then the only way is helping the DNCs take a huge midterm majority.
I’m just waiting for all those gnashing their teeth at this to turn around and tell me “vote blue no matter who” in a couple of years/months.
It’ll happen in the midterms, where suddenly we’re mesnt to ignore the last 6 years of policies from them and next year they’ll let Charlie kick the orange football.
I mean, things would be better if we had more Dems in Congress. Definitely not perfect, not even good enough, but slightly better than this shit show.
There might be more stuff you can do in addition to voting that people don’t want to discuss or encourage in public channels for a variety of reasons regardless of whether or not they would actually support that kind of stuff, but you may as well also vote if you can.
removed by mod
I hope Trump gets his country nuked off the face of the earth, and then we won’t have to deal with these libshit Democrats.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
They removed David Hogg from his position but vote to keep trump in his.
Hogg is a threat to the oligarchy whereas Trump, the entire Republican party, and most of the Democratic party are complicit in supporting it.
Ah, the Geronocrats. Always been a disappointment throughout my entire life, before and after I became eligible to vote.
The political system is completely fucked. I think going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist, and build horizontal decentralized power that isn’t prone to corruption.
- find local communities and get involved to make connections
- We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment’s income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
- Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:

- 🇦🇷 Argentina: FORA
- 🇦🇺 Australia: ASF-IWA
- 🇧🇷 Brazil: FOB

- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: UVW
- Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany’s success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.
Oh yeah cause it went so well for Chile. There was a government turnover and it fragmented the political parties so much that no one can agree on anything anymore.
Oh and the new people in power are learning by improvising.
Source: I am from Chile.
I don’t disagree that it ended badly, but had the movement not been pacified by the government’s bait of reform and a new constitution, it could’ve been revolutionary.
Your people showed the incredible potential of collective power and collective civil disobedience. The documentary shows both the victories, and the failures to learn from, just as Hong Kong did.
Oh yeah cause it went so well for Chile.
Coups can be resisted.
If by coup you mean the rich trying to get richer, yeah the resistance worked.
The problem came afterwards, when the people were handed the power to actually change something it became a circus.
So the rich didn’t get the chance to make ridiculous changes like in the US right now. But all we were left with was status quo.
No I meant the literal cia-backed coup
Fucking useless.
