Thanks for the tip, TC. Sent a pair off to mine.

Perhaps would have been better with a real fax machine, which I just realized I could technically do here at the office as my business internet came with a phone line I'm not using...

‪Futility‬ ‪@futi1ity.bsky.social‬

So, a hard copy is digitized by your fax machine then converted to analog phone signal, to be converted back to digital by your provider's VoIP line. That's so meta and wrong at the same time.

We should probably move away from them…but you know in a decade or so.

Alabama doesn't actually have anyone who responds.

I fax them memes that dunk on them, it's the most fun I've ever had.

Thank you. That was insanely easy!

Arizona is full of cowards. They used to have an intern that would call me back when I bytched about the chicken tariffs and why the truck lights are too bright but now I can't even seem to leave a fax.

‪TheWebMachine‬ ‪@thewebmachine.bsky.social‬

Faxes *used to be* an awesome way to annoy politicians into listening to us. However, in this modern age, they all just get converted to PDFs and filed into the same overstuffed email folder as the rest of our complaints. Also remember that nothing is "free." What is faxzero getting out of this? 🤷‍♂️

‪bmacknight.bsky.social‬ ‪@bmacknight.bsky.social‬

5 free faxes with only a few pages are free. after that $$.

In fairness Padilla's office actually answers the phone, at least some of the time. I spoke with them this morning.

‪Under-distress‬ ‪@kalekai.bsky.social‬

Send this. musk Re-posted a tweet that “Hitler didn’t murder millions of people, the public sector did”. This is what a South African racist propagandist does.! And we Americans are going to let that slide?

Can’t fax Fetterman about what a disappointment he has been, and I guess McCormick doesn’t want to burden his constituents faxing Connecticut from PA with long distance charges

I'm so furious. I had to try 6+ times, but I finally got through to voicemail for Fetterman, and I sent an email from his website. I also called the local Democratic Party office.

‪Radar of the Stars‬ ‪@radarstars.bsky.social‬

we are about 20 minutes away from the vote. Are you ready to see if democrats are just shyt or actively fascist collaborators?

Good!! 👏 Would love to see what you wrote…I left a rambling voicemail ugh

‪Lopoi‬ ‪@lopoi.bsky.social‬

Do people still use fax? Or is this just an email?

32/35
‪bmacknight.bsky.social‬ ‪@bmacknight.bsky.social‬

it works for some senators

33/35
‪Dono‬ ‪@jmdonovan.bsky.social‬

I told Chuck Grassley that since he’s not getting any younger, this might be a good time to change his legacy from bootlicker to loyal American by voting no on the CR.

‪himham‬ ‪@himham.bsky.social‬

Hope you don't mind me posting this compiled list of senators local offices, each of which has their own phone number and fax number.

I did my part. My senators have been getting phone calls and emails from me all week. Now I’m adding faxes

WASHINGTON, DC
10 Dems voted for cloture. Paul is the only GOP no vote. So they got more than needed.

Catherine Cortez Masto
dikk Durbin
John Fetterman
Kirsten Gillibrand
Maggie Hassan
Angus King
Gary Peters
Brian Schatz
Chuck Schumer
Jeanne Shaheen

Only one I'm surprised by is Schatz. Hirono voted no. I know Hawaii has sizeable federal workers. But damn.
