Evergreen tweet, sadly still appropriate.

Anything @garrykasparov.bsky.social has to say about anything is well worth reading IMHO.

Screen grab of 2017 tweet by Garry Kasparov regarding the permanent coexistence of malice and incompetence in the Trump White House.

Handwriting is on the wall, Usha. Brown skin is a political liability to your husband. You've become Other.

Oh yeah, it's Halloween. Here's a black cat. Be safe out there, kids!

A legislative branch is such a pesky thing to a dictator anyway. They’re effectively dissolved.

Yes, the previous 15 years of Obamacare--an obvious success to anyone with a brain--is still making Trump’s rancid head explode.

"Do something Democrats"?

I thought Trump had the concept of a plan.

Meanwhile we're all watching how expertly he's handling SNAP.

Let's not forget about President Pedo. Nobody should get away with the sexual abuse of children.

Trumpesque. "Not enough people are paying attention to me so I'll say/do something weird or stupid."

Yes, there were some political illiterates in the rank & file, uneducated enough to vote Republican. But there was also solidarity and respect among members regardless of race or gender. There's strength in a union and IMHO its core is the diverse rank & file, as it should be.

I've been management and, with a different company, I've been union. I've seen & heard a lot. My take: unions get weakened by weakened & compromised leadership. 👇
