electiontruthalliance.org and smartelections.us . They’ve been doing the work. The analysis aligns with the weird feeling we all had on election night.
This! And this is exactly the right tone and information to share every time someone blames the US electorate for where we are right now... every time someone says how devastated they are that he won the election. We can't change it now, but we CAN protect 2026 & acknowledging the truth matters!

US government is going to extreme lengths to help Putin and hurt Ukraine.
Now threatening European states that if they use Russian assets to help Ukraine, they will have to pay it all back.

Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.
