Reposted by Julia7Dr. DaShanne Stokes @dashannestokes.com · 29/09/2026Trump's own investigators could never corroborate Trump's claims of election tampering. Even with taking over the presidency and his party having control of both houses of Congress and a lock on the Supreme Court, they still could not prove Trump's claims. You know why? Because it's a lie. 22967281

Julia7 @julia7.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The term "ethnic cleansing" frames an atrocity from the point of view of the oppressor. Cleansing is positive. It's like calling a "serial killer" a "serial cleanser." Just, no. Use "genocide" instead. 000

Julia7 @julia7.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Cassidy played the knight errant on the vote so Murkowski didn't need to dirty her hands. But, if he'd done the right thing, I imagine she'd have jumped in to ensure Blanche's confirmation. Something's rotten in Denmark and it ain't Greenland. 100
