Was this #townhall limited to just #fascists or did they allow #Democrats in?
At the Town Hall by Jm McGovern (D-MA) and a large auditorium is filled. Got here well beforehand and I’m in the balcony (which is fine)

For Oregonians who missed it, Senator Wyden skipped the speech last night (he said "we're not interested in hearing about the Donald Trump alternate reality") and held a virtual town hall instead. Here's a link to the recording:

And here's a great thread from Claire Willet who live-posted some of the key moments from the town hall last night:

"Feb 26, 2025
On Saturday, February 22nd, citizens gathered in the Coeur d'Alene High School auditorium to speak with elected members of the Idaho Legislature about community issues. The peaceful event quickly became a viral video on social media, as one woman was dragged from the auditorium by private security.
Teresa Borrenpohl was removed from her seat by a private security company, Lear Asset Management, who dragged her out of the auditorium and tried to tie her hands with zip ties, while the Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris recorded the incident, encouraging her removal."

I am so glad one of my senators (Wyden , Oregon) is skipping the speech completely. Wyden is holding a virtual town hall instead:
https://www.wyden.senate.gov/events/virtual-oregon-town-hall2025
It's on Facebook live, which is not great, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to have an account to watch. I hope so - I don't have an account!

Ordinary heroes give Congress an earful about Trump and Musk

"some of the things ordinary #Americans did last week...at a... #TownHall...
“My question to you, as a member of #Congress which holds the purse strings, what are you going to do to stop the cuts & how do you feel about an unelected nonconfirmed person making the decisions you should be making?”
...she could barely be heard over the applause & cheers."
GOP politician Mark Alford is now terrified of his own constituents after one confrontational #TownHall.
Good.
His constituents need to keep confronting him (loudly, but non-violently) about his failure to serve the people he is supposed to be serving.
In a democracy, elected officials are supposed to be PUBLIC SERVANTS. They serve the public. Not the political party. Not the president. The public.
If they're not doing their job, they need to be confronted with that fact.

"One of the biggest stories across #America is the growing anger aimed at #Musk & #Trump revealed in numerous #TownHall meetings this week."
This is the ful vid of the #townhall in #Idaho
LISTEN to what the POS at the podium says before she gets grabbed... DESPICABLE.
(also not one guy moves to help her. In fact the one sitting next to her gets up so they can have easier access)
