And the Democrats instead of learning to fight back, they've succumbed to a totally battered wife syndrome; that is the most frustrating part. it's disgusting to say yet it needs to be said - small wonder tRumputinists are so easily trampling all over anything Democratic, raping it and destroying it.....
I had read that Sandra Day OConner did not want to have a Democrat in the White House, so she had a role to play in why the court did not allow a recounting of the votes. That is why when people say how they believed in the screen court up until now I don't know what they are talking about. It has been corrupt as long as I have known.
I agree that many are. I think we need to let go of that and truly investigate. I still do not understand why we let Putin set up bomb threats at polling places in strongly democratic communities in swing states and the people were not given additional time to vote even though their voting places were shut for several hours.
Beautifully expressed, Zev. Do you think that as more details of the voting machine fuckery are uncovered that anything could be done to invalidate the election results??? ( pipe dream I’m sure)
How ironic that the man who cried election fraud that inspired an insurrection very well might have cheated us out of a free and fair election in ‘24. How different our country would be now had this come to light sooner. Investigate it Zev. We deserve to know the truth. It’s very possible that Kamala actually won, which if proven true is beyond heartbreaking for those of us who felt so strongly that at long last we’d have a smart, prepared woman POTUS. As a woman who wanted to see a woman in charge in her lifetime I’ve never completely gotten over this soul crushing loss. I at least want to know the truth. I deserve that. We all do.
🇺🇸To My Beloved Grandparents: The Truth Is Still Ours to Share
First, I want to send a warm and hearty congratulations to everyone who took part in the No Kings protest yesterday. From coast to coast, grandparents, parents, and young folks alike stood shoulder to shoulder for truth, democracy, and the America we still believe in. Your voices were heard. Your peaceful presence made a powerful statement: we will not be ruled by fear, lies, or authoritarian fantasies. We’re still “We the People.” And we showed up.
But the march doesn’t end on the streets. After the No Kings protests, I had some heartfelt conversations in my own family—especially about why, in 2024, no one seemed to talk about how much the Biden Administration improved the economy after COVID; they feel this gap in information lead to Trump getting elected. That gap in coverage isn’t an accident—it’s a choice made by media outlets that don’t benefit from reporting progress. But we can help fill that gap. That’s why I want to talk honestly with you today about something that’s been weighing heavily on my heart: the difficulty of knowing what’s true anymore.
🧠
Truth is Hard to Find in Today’s Media World
Local newspapers—our once-reliable sources of community truth—have shut down across the country.
Billionaires have bought up major TV networks and national papers, deciding what gets covered—and what gets buried.
Social media algorithms reward outrage, conspiracy theories, and lies, repeating them endlessly until they feel familiar—even when they’re false.
It’s no wonder so many people feel lost, angry, or misled. Even topics like the economy, which can be measured with numbers and facts, have become battlegrounds for spin and propaganda.
I’ll be honest: the clearest picture of what’s really going on comes from the kinds of things most people don’t have time (or patience) to sort through—economic charts, job statistics, spending patterns, labor market graphs. Economists use these tools every day. But most people don’t, and that’s where the manipulators thrive.

The Truth About the U.S. Economy in 2024—In Plain Language
Let’s remember what really happened:
The entire world shut down in 2020 because of COVID. Every economy crashed.
But in the years that followed, America led the global recovery.
By 2023–2024, we had:
Stronger GDP growth than any other G7 nation
Falling unemployment and rising wages in several key sectors
A powerful rebound in consumer spending that helped other economies recover too
A resilient dollar and global trust in the U.S. financial system
But many people still believe that the Biden Administration left our economy is in ruins. Why? Because they’re only hearing one version of the story—often from partisan outlets like Fox News, that only show what fits their political goals.
The truth doesn’t always make the news because it doesn’t stir anger, drive ratings, or sell ads.

A Call to My Fellow Grandparents
You and I—we remember a different time. We grew up with Walter Cronkite, with local reporters we could meet at the grocery store. We remember when the news was trusted. Today, our kids and grandkids are being misled by a media environment designed to divide and enrage, not inform.

✅ If you marched, tell them why. If you stayed home, tell them what you’re standing for.
This is our time to make an impact—not just in protests, but in conversations that shape the future.
Let’s keep showing up, speaking up, and lifting up the truth—because the next generation needs us now more than ever.
Such a heartfelt and perfect comment!! I'm sharing it!!
Also, the ANTItRumputin&his regime demonstrations need to be going on every single day in as many American cities and places as possible!! I know it's easier said than done but it's a must do!! The Existence, not only Democracy, but Existence depends on it!!
Thanks for driving home the voting machine malarkey; I think we were afraid of being compared to stop the steal cult!
The real steal was 2000,when bush v gore was stolen by the Brooks Brothers riot (Roger Stone)
Exactly
that one too!!
And the Democrats instead of learning to fight back, they've succumbed to a totally battered wife syndrome; that is the most frustrating part. it's disgusting to say yet it needs to be said - small wonder tRumputinists are so easily trampling all over anything Democratic, raping it and destroying it.....

I prefer the Romanian way. They insisted on a reelection when they found there was outside interference.
Of course!!
it was tragical to internalize a fear formed on false equivalences!!
the real steal was 2024, I repeat, the real steal was 2024 perpetrated by tRumputinists in many various ways.
And from Al Gore in 2000.
I know!! All the more reasons I said what I did in my reply to Sue's excellent reminder.
We loved protesting and doing our civic duty peacefully in Charlotte NC. Thousands showed up throughout NC in numerous cities.
Beautifully expressed, Zev. Do you think that as more details of the voting machine fuckery are uncovered that anything could be done to invalidate the election results??? ( pipe dream I’m sure)
My sentiments and question exactly!!
How ironic that the man who cried election fraud that inspired an insurrection very well might have cheated us out of a free and fair election in ‘24. How different our country would be now had this come to light sooner. Investigate it Zev. We deserve to know the truth.

The video is stunning. Much thanks for sharing. THIS, is who we are.
I can hear you.
I can hear you.
Thank you! The voting machine story is critical.
It was incredible in Grand Rapids Michigan! Thousands came together united against this tyrannical administration.
Fight to save and rebuild America based on our principles, not those of greedy, soulless psychopaths.
Lady Liberty is weeping copper-tinged tears. I remember 1976 and this is a horror story.
I was there!!
Love you Lev! Thx for it all!!!
