This was a good substack talk by @peterbeinart.bsky.social- take a listen. Meaningful to me as the wife of a Muslim, the mother of Muslim kids.

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

If it's still functional (at all) the Attorney General for the state and/or the EEOC offices affiliated with these are much more productive places to start. *Then* involve HR: then HR will negotiate w/ the employee.

Only people with zero scientific knowledge or education could hold and proselytize "vaccine skepticism."
I am sad (and scared) for them.

Apparently vaccines have proven to be more effective than:
1) Worm killer for livestock, (although it seems RFK Jr should have had it injected into his brain).
2) Drinking bleach.
3) Shoving a flashlight up your ass.
Maybe 47 should stick to putting companies into bankruptcy and stiffing suppliers.

...and there it is!

Another video snip every Dem should be replaying - this pres only cares about his ballroom (& golf & "winning a Nobel" (only b/c Obama won)) - IOW, only himself

Not the farmers, not consumers, not healthcare, not crime, not "drug wars" or any wars - himself

Government shut down, mass lay offs, people can't make their car loan payments, colleges losing funding for scholarship students, war and famine in Gaza, ppl losing their health insurance...
But the "president's main priority" is demolition and ballroom.
Got it.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.
