Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 18/09/2025The silence from the always opinionated women on #theview speaks louder than if they’d spoken out against the removal of Jimmy Kimmel.

Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 01/08/2025Escape the news. ❤️ Project Runway returns tonight. My daughter is the Supervising Story Producer! Here’s how to watch: When it airs at 9, watch on Freeform. I think it’s free w basic cable. Or watch on Hulu or Disney+ later. (Not sure what time that means.) Enjoy! 030
Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 08/06/2025Multiple choice: when is it time to call in the National Guard?

Hm. 031

Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 18/04/2025I’ve been reading that we’re “coming into a test of our Constitution,” i.e., the treatment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, DOGE actions, the defiance of court orders, retribution against who he considers political enemies. Haven’t we already failed this test? What are its limits? Congress, stop him! 040
Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Dear Dem lawmakers: This is a friendly reminder that Hillary Clinton was skewered by Rs for using a personal server for official emails. How about you treat Trump and his incompetent band of leaky lawmakers in kind? #butheremails 020
Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Dear Dems: No matter what you are asked in an interview, pls answer with something like, “we must address the dangerous and incompetent security breach of Trump’s cabinet members.” And then proceed to do so.

Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 25/02/2025With the recent firings at MSNBC and today’s news that Trump will take control over the WH press pool by deciding which media outlets will have access, we’re one step closer to a fascistic dictatorship. And I am surprised at how easily and quickly it was allowed to happen. 220
Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 19/02/2025One of the most insidious things trump ever did was to make people question the news media. I remember Kellyanne Conway’s interview w Anderson Cooper when she first used the term “fake news” to rebut a fact. The legitimate news media are often wrong, but most don’t blatantly lie. Trump lies. Cont’d 100

Melody L @melodylesser.bsky.social · 01/02/2025The descent into fascism began in earnest when the 1st trump admin discredited legit news sources as being fake in a (successful) effort to keep people uninformed and, therefore, more easily manipulated.
