This is a huge, yet necessary task. We cannot allow the insane neglect and abuse of our beautiful, neurodivergent, challenged people. A just society cares for the Earth’s vulnerable life forms.

"Miller slipped up because even he knows it is an outrageous thing for Trump to claim absolute, unreviewable power to send active-duty military troops into American cities based only on his delusions."

Stephen Miller's radically bogus idea of "plenary authority"

This is not how the Constitution works.

Massive flooding in western Alaska. Search & rescue in process. Power outages. Communication down.
So tell me again — why are we not seeing this on the news?

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

I've seen confusion/commentary, about why @jamescomey.bsky.social became a high value target for Trump despite his missteps during the 2016 campaign that subsequently helped Trump & hurt Clinton.

That's b/c Comey is the main target of disgraced LtGen Mike Flynn & funneled thru Qanon to manifest it.

‼️Today’s the last day to register to vote in NJ. Mikie Sherrill is fighting for affordability, education, and clean energy. Don’t miss your chance to support her‼️

Bold graphic reminding New Jersey residents to register to vote. On a dark blue background, large white text at the top reads “NEW JERSEY REGISTER TO VOTE BY.” Below, a stylized calendar icon displays the deadline: “OCT 14,” with “OCT” in white on a red header and “14” in large black numbers on a white calendar body. The design emphasizes urgency and civic participation.

"To the extent Trump has the power to federalize troops, it stems from a law Congress passed. In other words, Congress could, were it not currently controlled by sniveling sycophants, just pass a new law that took away that power. So, by its very nature, that’s not a plenary power."
