This is the chance to go after the soft tissue of big tech, whose leaders the president listens to,,, says Leia.
Foreign interference distorts both the information people rely on and the level playing field democracy depends on.

A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.
That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.
Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.
this is what patriotism looks like
