I really burn when I hear people say the parties are all the same.

Americans seem ready to turn Trump into a lame duck, while Democrats must not only campaign but also protect democracy by thwarting Trump’s attempt to rig the election through legislations and laws. #ProudBlue #DV1

I never understood political candidates who won’t talk directly with voters. Including my own congressional campaign, I’ve spent over 2 years heading & consulting political campaigns. Talking & building authentic relationships w voters is a non-negotiable requirement if a candidate wants me to run..

#USDemocracy Live !! #ProudBlue #TrueBlue #autocracy Ballroom donors The Washington Post reveals all the major donors to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project; Nvidia and Apple each committed $25 million and many others. This is total autocracy

HMM…THIS IS NOT THE BEST WE CAN DO…VOTE EARLY…VOTE BLUE…SAVE DEMOCRACY!

Josh Gad has a message for US! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Listen to Josh everyone!! He’s absolutely right! It’s definitely time for change and all the non voters better wake up and vote blue this time to save your country!

We know he is because he is doing it right in front of our faces, and no longer bothering to hide it. He has reached the point where he believes he is untouchable, and he’s probably right, because he is likely to die before he ever sees any legal consequences for his corruption.

Most Americans think Trump is using the presidency to make himself richer. They are watching the same thing you are: crypto events at Mar-a-Lago, favors for people with money, and a president cashing in while your grocery bills climb higher. #TrumpsAbuseOfPower #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

#USDemocracy Men seem more concerned about women wearing shorts in gyms rather than men in frat houses raping women. Quit Blaming Victims for your repulsive behavior.

11/ The attack on scrutiny did not begin overseas. Stanford’s Internet Observatory, known for studying online influence & election disinfo, was gutted amid lawsuits, investigations & pressure. The researchers became the targets, not the operations they studied. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

10/ The intimidation has reached US orgs, too. On Oct 14, a fed judge temporarily blocked sanctions against 2 U.S. human rights groups supporting ICC investigations.The judge found likely 1st Amendment violations. Their advocacy was protected speech, not a crime. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

9/ Human Rights Watch says the sanctions campaign has also reached Palestinian rights groups and people working with the ICC. It says these measures undermine accountability for alleged abuses.

US Sanctions International Criminal Court

The United States government on October 9, 2026, sanctioned the International Criminal Court (ICC), citing jurisdiction over crimes by US nationals abroad.

8/ There is a name you should know: Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur examining human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories. Washington sanctioned her in July 2025 after her criticism of Israel. That’s a UN investigator facing U.S. punishment www.investing.com/news/world-n...

7/ The ICC says new sanctions followed U.S. designations against 13 of its judges & prosecutors. Its work can touch powerful governments and their allies. Washington’s answer has been to make doing that work financially hazardous, threatening services the court needs. www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-str...

6/ Two days after the disinfo conference began, on Oct 9, the Trump admin sanctioned the International Criminal Court itself. Not simply one judge or prosecutor. The institution. A court established by treaty to pursue genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. www.icc-cpi.int/news/icc-str...

5/ Here’s what makes the timing explosive. The conference also featured a scheduled address by a judge from the International Criminal Court who had already been sanctioned by Washington. That matters because the administration’s campaign against outside scrutiny goes far beyond research.

4/ And the pressure had visible results. Lithuania canceled participation. Canada withdrew sponsorship, although its officials stayed. France remained a main supporter. Nobody had to outlaw conference to make supporting it politically costly. That is the point of pressure. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Canada yanks sponsorship of disinformation conference discussing U.S. as a threat | CBC News

The federal government has withdrawn sponsorship of a European disinformation conference that includes panels discussing the U.S. government as a foreign interference risk.

3/ The offending panel asked whether the U.S. itself had become a foreign information manipulation threat to Europe. That’s a question a democracy ought to be able to debate. Instead, diplomats went after the governments backing the conference. The subject was power. So was the response.

2/ A European conference dared to put United States under a microscope. Rather than make its case in public, Trump’s State Department spent days pressuring Canada, Lithuania and France about their support. Reuters obtained correspondence and spoke to U.S. officials. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

1/ Researchers attacked at home. Foreign watchdogs targeted with visa bans. Now Trump’s State Department pressures allies over a conference examining U.S. information manipulation. This looks less like free speech than punishing those investigating power. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
