rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 20/09/2026is it just me, or does announcing that it will also store ammunition make it a target and more of a security risk for DC? 190
rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Somehow I missed that James Blood Ulmer passed. Damn, gonna have to relisten to Free Lancing—it blew my mind when I first heard it. 010
rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Pretty sure the application signature is checked against a submitted ballot before it’s counted. Ballots where signatures don’t match can be “cured” to verify validity. So unlikely that any of these ballots would ever be counted in an election—so still no evidence of fraud that would change who wins 000

rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/04/2026I know a lot of crazy happened with this, but is anyone else concerned that the President ANSWERED a phone call from a reporter (from a network he obviously dislikes) while in a meeting about a WAR?? Is that how he focuses on priorities? 000

rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 15/03/2026I think you just gave SNL a great idea-Trump cabinet members as kids…Rubio wearing his father’s shoes, Kristi Noem playing dress-up…endless possibilities. 052
rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 12/03/2026This is what Republicans stand for. Not lowering cost of living, healthcare, or other issues people care about. Dems should use “Killing all the right people and cutting your taxes” against every republican opponent in every midterm race. 070

rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/06/2025The American people are watching and once again if we behave in ways that can be misinterpreted, we’ll see this explained to the public in Republican campaign videos benefiting the very people who started this. 12/n 100

rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/06/2025It’s such a waste and it’s only because we haven’t thought things through strategically. Nothing I thought of is particularly original. It was all learned by watching the early civil rights protests in the 50s and 60s. 10/n 100
rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/06/2025I have great fear that Trump’s staging with the National Guard and maybe the Marines is designed to clash with anarchists who are playing into his hands and offering him the opportunity to declare an insurrection. 9/n 100
rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Number 4, make your protest silent. Demonstrate your discipline to the American people.Let signs do the talking. Number 5 go home at night. In the dark, you can’t tell the cops from the killers. Come back at Dawn fresh and rested. 8/n 100

rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/06/20252 appoint monitors, give them yellow, vests and whistles. At the first sign of violence, they blow the whistles and the real protester sit down.

rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/06/2025 Number 1 let women organize the event. They’re more collaborative. They’re more inclusive, and they don’t generally bring the undertones of violence men do. 5/n 100
rleja.bsky.social @rleja.bsky.social · 10/06/2025The audience is always the American people, who are trying to decide who they can trust; who will not embarrass them.
