19. We also do mass tags of elected officials while the Texas legislation is in session.

We do it as a group. It works because I'm with several advocacy groups. (Moms Demand Action and Texans for Public Education to name a few) If you don't think they aren't checking their twitter feeds while they are voting, think again. We've gotten a few to change their votes.

I also subscribe to Armenian Action Alerts and they tag my congressman. Because of all the tagging I did, my congressman voted to support Armenian causes and is now rated A by the Armenian National Committee and has even appeared in an article about Armenians. (Pretty good for a Latino, who has almost no Armenians living in his district)

Until Bluesky replaces all of this, I will keep my shitter account open....

I consider my direct action also a form of resistance.
