So after YOU delivered a Blue Tsumani walloping to the GOP and Trump, did they learn? Not really. They made Jim Jordan Minority speaker of the House. https://thehill.com/homenews/6211341-republicans-elect-jim-jordan-minority-leader/ A reminder he ignored (or covered up?) a hideous sex abuse scandal at OSU, which got brought up when he tried to be Speaker. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/11/jim-jordan-house-speaker-ohio-state-wrestlers-abuse House Republicans banded together to derail attempts to impeach Pete Hegseth. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/11/10/us/hegseth-impeachment-vote-house So between these actions and Stephen Miller, looks like the GOP is all behind racism, war, and covering up sex abuse. So par for the course. Ready to make them pay even more in 2028? #uspol #democracy #epsteinclass #democrats #bluetsunami

Leave X - Protect Democracy @leavex@mastodon.social
· 1d ago
Boosted by @trending@homestead.social
We used @mastometrics@mas.to to find the most shared posts since the #LeaveX campaign began! We'll keep raising awareness of disinformation and advocating for healthier communication infrastructure for political dialogue. Mastodon and the Fediverse offer an alternative. We need to convince political leaders that democratic discourse deserves spaces free from engagement-driven algorithms that amplify hate, outrage and polarization. The top 10! 1/4 #Democracy #Disinformation #Fediverse #Mastodon

Let's check in on some good news today! California Rep. Robert Garcia: ‘The days of us not fighting back are over’ - it's time to investigate Trump and company and he's not going to be intimidated by Trump's threats. Millions of us weren't intimidated. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/11/08/garcia-days-of-us-not-fighting-back-are-over-01155486 Governor Shapiro of Pennsylvania plans to raise minimum wage - and thanks to voters like yourself he has a Democratic majority. https://archive.ph/ZgHIP#selection-1369.0-1401.104 It may seem small, but Democrats plan to make the January 6 memorial more prominent wheras Republicans hid their terrorist attack on America. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/11/09/congress/jan-6-plaques-future-01155916 #uspol #democracy #democrats

Trump and the GOP got destroyed by YOUR Blue Tsunami. So what do they do? Promote Stephen Miller to the Chief off Staff, doubling down on the murderous, racist policies we spoke out against. Trump is about to find out just what the Blue Tsunami can do, and we're going to call our reps to make sure they show him. The news breaking early - https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/06/politics/stephen-miller-trump-susie-wiles House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries puts in bluntly: "His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor. Fire him today." https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/jeffries-calls-miller-dangerous-xenophobe-211703543.html A roundup of Democrats condeming Miller. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/6205303-democrats-trump-miller-promotion/ Some industries are very worried about Miller's promotion. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/11/06/industries-that-rely-immigrant-workers-decry-stephen-millers-promotion/ #bluetsunami #democracy #democrats #StephenMiller
