Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

The founder of the East Bay, CA @indivisible.org has written a blueprint for how to confront a rising fascist movement and what real resistance looks like.

This work needs to reach more people. Support Gary. I can vouch for him. His campaign puts the book in the mainstream. 👇🏼
Gary is a tireless activist who loves Democracy. I know him. His new book is a roadmap for anyone wanting to be more involved in the resistance before midterms. It's exactly what we need! His Kickstarter ends tomorrow; it's 86% to the target. Read more ⬇️ kck.st/4oa5ozD
YOU ARE THE POWER - A Call to Action
Help Gary create an updated, expanded version of his successful activism handbook, for use before the midterms with funds for outreach.

A Democrat hasn’t been elected Mayor of Miami in nearly 30 years. VP Harris beat Trump in Miami by just one point last year. Tonight, Eileen Higgins became the first Democrat to win in three decades and won by 19 points. This is a very, very bad sign for the GOP.

It is my hope that we don’t make the mistake again of not expanding SCOTUS.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation—

They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

Before there was Union Station, there was La Grande Station, LA's main railway hub from 1893 to 1939. Located at 2nd and Santa Fe on the LA River, it was smaller but equally ornate, with a mashup of Spanish Colonial, Art Deco, Moorish and Mission Revival styles.

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

The idea that the US Constitution vests nearly absolute power in one person, in part because presidential elections are the main way govt is accountable to the people, is so crazy, illogical, ahistorical it shouldn’t need rebutting.

But here we are, and @donmoyn.bsky.social explains why it’s wrong.
At will? Whose will?
Removing independent agency heads is part of a broader assault on a nonpartisan government
