John Leguizamo Called for a Civilian-Powered Accountability Coalition - Let's Do It

Btw if somebody knows how to post this video that would be nice.

John Leguizamo dropped a bomb on Instagram recently, vocalizing a viral post by Dr. Pru Lee – and not the comedic kind. This raw and urgent call to action said what so many of us have been thinking: we need an independent, civilian-powered investigative coalition. One that tracks, archives, and exposes corruption, executive overreach, and abuses of power in real time. One that exists outside of party lines, because let’s be honest – most of us are tired of both sides playing hot potato with our rights.

And they’re not wrong. In fact, they’re painfully, urgently right.

Imagine a national alliance made up of whistleblowers, journalists, watchdog organizations, veterans, legal experts, scholars, and artists. A network that doesn’t wait for the next congressional hearing to document wrongdoing. A coalition that responds to threats to democracy like a rapid-response team – with transparency, documentation, infographics, and maybe even a few memes to help average folks understand what’s going on.
