Donna Halper @devorahleah.bsky.social · 20/09/2026FYI for those who play Wordle with me. I won't be posting my score at midnight tonight, because I won't be online.

Donna Halper @devorahleah.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I'm mystified by Republicans like Rudy Giuliani demonizing Muslims, and going after Mayor Mamdani (who was 9 when 9/11 happened, & had nothing to do with it). Stirring up more prejudice isn't what we need, nor does it make America a better country. And yet, Giuliani persists. 😡 5210

Donna Halper @devorahleah.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Every election cycle, Republicans put forward another enemy for everyone to hate: immigrants, Muslims, trans people... it's predictable, but it's painful for those who are being targeted. We need to vote these haters out in November and work on solutions, not demonize "the other." #voteblue 3261

Donna Halper @devorahleah.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The MSM obsessed over Hillary's emails. Now, they're focused on Hasan Piker (who is not even a Democratic politician). But when Elon (a hugely influential donor to Republican causes) makes racist and antisemitic remarks, it's [crickets]. Could someone explain the lack of coverage of Elon's bigotry? 4161
