- Reposted by LeisaWhile some have argued that Trump's threat to rig the 2026 election is unrealistic and overblown, there's a 100% chance he's going to try. We're way too nonchalant about that.
- Reposted by LeisaDuring the week after Pretti was killed by DHS, Fox News made at least 75 claims blaming Pretti for his own death or contradicting video evidence.
- Reposted by LeisaAgree, every trace of this evil man's monuments to himself must be undone. And while were at it every monument, Military base name, every public park name celebrating the confederacy taken down once and for all
- Johnny Carson once said the fastest measurable unit of time is that which elapses between when a light turns green in NY and someone honks their horn. But the speed with which Trump's name will be torn off his monuments to himself when he's gone will be greater. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

- Reposted by LeisaEuropean countries are going to have to recognize the reality that over the next 3 years the US govt is going to operate like Russia - engaging in systematic efforts to tamper in their elections to elect far-right parties & candidates. It will be worse if Vance becomes president.

- Reposted by LeisaI’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.
- Reposted by LeisaWhen you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.

- Reposted by LeisaThe Right has spent years trying to push a return to child labor and attacking age of consent laws. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re exposing us to mountains of the most horrendous stuff imaginable while also normalizing it. So much of what’s happening is the destruction of childhood.

This regulation aims to clamp down on the 'digital Wild West' of hateful & illegal content that Tech CEOs platform AND intentionally amplify with no accountability. "No more hiding behind code." 👏🏼

- Reposted by LeisaLet’s be clear: when the Trump administration kills or stalls energy generation projects, that’s the White House choosing to make your electricity more expensive. Americans deserve better.
- Reposted by LeisaA huge scandal, especially as Trump said he wants Republicans to "take over" state elections. They're trying to rig 2026 and 2028 right in the open.

- Remember when Republicans called Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas in order to neutralize her anti corruption and make life affordable campaign? Republicans are protectors of criminal pedophiles and the billionaire class making life unaffordable. People still vote for them. Propaganda works.
