Evergreen tweet, sadly still appropriate.

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

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.

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. 👇

The author is uniquely qualified to reflect on authoritarianism, resistance, and the troubling place the US finds itself in today. This piece is set against the background of No Kings 2, in which he marched.
