Gavin Newsom is dyslexic and legit ✨hates✨ reading from teleprompters; so he memorizes ALL his speeches and delivers them off-the-top.

Those gazillion facts and figures he’s always rattling off when he’s interviewed or addresses the public—all from memory. Pretty impressive.

Gavin Newsom: “If some of us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there. …"

The Ranch Fire in San Bernardino is 4,000 acres and growing.

Meanwhile, 5 of California’s 14 National Guard fire crews are understaffed… because Trump deployed them for a political stunt in LA.

This isn’t just illegal,It’s dangerous.

You know what’s annoying? Gavin Newsom is standing up and putting himself on the line. And the political press has to frame it as campaigning for president.
Maybe he would like to be president, but that’s not really the point right now.

Trump is not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. - Governor Gavin Newsom

Gavin Newsom is really just going down the MAGA list, isn’t he

🦽 Polio: paralysis (1 in 200)
🤒 Measles: pneumonia & brain swelling (1/5 hospitalized)
🎗️ HPV: causes >90% of cervical cancers
⏳ Meningitis: fatal in 10%

🤐 Tetanus: 10% fatal even with treatment

💉 Vaccines prevent all of this. This is what winning looks like.

Opinion | Trump got shipped off to military school. Now we all pay the price. The president’s D.C. parade is an ego trip, 79th birthday party and boyhood fantasy rolled into one.

Alabama Public Library Service board terminates director, cuts aid to Fairhope library • Alabama Reflector Board member Amy Minton made two motions to terminate the director and remove state funding from Fairhope Public Library.

She is being terminated, not because of her performance because over her tenure state aid for local libraries has increased 60%.

She is being terminated because of unfounded attacks by extremists because she is not sufficiently supporting censorship.

Martin O'Malley, former Social Security commissioner, says he believes the Trump administration has already taken 90% of the actions necessary to crater Social Security.

JUST IN: Trump pulls security clearances of more political/legal adversaries — some of these were previously known but new list includes:

-Kamala Harris

-Joe Biden + Biden family
-Fiona Hill

There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane. His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.

The Entire World Is Pissed at Trump—and It May Cost the U.S. Big Time There’s a growing global call to boycott American-made goods.

Consumers across the world are boycotting American products in protest of literally everything Donald Trump is doing.

Trump moves to gut several agencies, targeting Voice of America, libraries The president signed an executive order that repeals several Biden-era labor and environmental policies, and another that severely cuts various independent agencies.

Good rule of thumb for determining who are the good guys and who are the bad guys is “which side is eliminating libraries” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We are in the editorial process on a forthcoming Special Issue of The Political Librarian, which will be devoted to discussions and analyses of what the results of the 2024 election may indicate for the future of library work. Stay posted for more information. journals.library.wustl.edu/pollib/

#ThanksTrump

Thank you for sharing this powerful story at a time when Trump is hell-bent on interning migrants ( in an off-shore prison). These are people who came here to find a better, safer, life for themselves and their children.

And I thought Trump was gonna romance a ‘tremendous’ deal today! Oops!
