"You shouldn't be protecting your kids from Toni Morrison. You should be protecting them from assault weapons." -- Pete #Buttigieg

"With #Harris as the Democratic nominee, however, #Trump is caught in a no-win situation. If he continues to hang back from the campaign trail while she's out there hustling, he'll start inviting the questions about whether he's too old and weak, the exact questions that plagued #Biden. But if he starts doing more media and events that are outside the MAGA bubble, he will draw negative attention and remind voters why they hate him."

"It seems that they [the Christo-#Fascists] may not have anticipated that Joe #Biden gracefully withdrawing from the race might be seen as an act of selfless patriotism in contrast to their leader Donald #Trump, the grasping egomaniac who incited a riot rather than admit that he lost. The contrast couldn't be more vivid."

"Make no mistake, the person most frightened by #Biden’s Sunday decision is Donald #Trump."

@GottaLaff. I saw him say that and you could tell he was very pleased with himself -- as he should be! Love that human being.

Where can I get my #Harris for #President yard sign?

Excellent post by @emptywheel about the journalistic malpractice of not demanding the medical report(s) regarding #Trump's ear.

The #memoir I wrote w/#neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller is about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's & the devastating grief that accompanies that death by #dementia. Bruce explains how a #brain works & doesn't. Images of #PET scans & #MRI's, & a glossary w/definitions of medical terms -- aphasia & anosognosia -- are included. If you want to learn about the brain circuitry involved in word finding, spatial orientation, behavior, et al. please consider reading it.

@jeffowski @GottaLaff. I get that strategy.

@GottaLaff. How weird. Just yesterday, I posted about IG. In response to my posting about Project 2025, which listed all of the hideous things in it, IG sent me this:

Partly false information was found in your post by independent fact-checkers.

Fact-checker: The Dispatch
Conclusion: Partly false
More information: Viral Claims About Project 2025 Are Mostly False

The Dispatch, an independent fact-checker!!! What on earth is IG doing?

#TimothySnyder's expertise re: how #fascism work really helps understand what's happening with the #NYT, #CNN, #WaPo. It comes down to fear. If #journalists (and I'm tempted to use scare quotes but won't) submit ahead of time, they won't get hurt. The threat of violence looms large and instead of confronting that, the #media is hiding from it and bringing about the very thing they are most afraid of (because hiding won't work).

Read #HeatherCoxRichardson

"If indeed Trump knows nothing about Project 2025 and has no idea who is behind it, his cognitive ability is rotten. . . . how exactly don’t you know that Project 2025 Director Paul Dans served as your chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management, and Associate Director Spencer Chretien served as your special assistant and associate director of presidential personnel? And folks say we should be worried about Biden.”

"O! had I the
ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would, to-day, pour out a fiery stream of
biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light
that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the
whirlwind, and the earthquake."

If #Trump wants to identify as they, go for it!. Just let everyone else get to do that, too.

“I beat her,” Trump replied. “It’s easier when you win. They always said, ‘Lock her up.’" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-denies-saying-lock-her-up-clinton-1235031145/

June is #Alzheimer's and #Brain Health Awareness Month. I wrote a #book, w/the amazing #neurologist #Dr.BruceMiller, to honor my father who died of #EarlyOnset Alzheimer's. Our #memoir has a lot of information about the brain, courtesy of #Dr.Miller. My brain broke when my Dad's did, & the sections I wrote are about trying to put it back together. We each bring something different to the story of my father's Alzheimer's, & very much hope it helps others.

Great line from #AmandaMarcotte in #Salon:

"The regular folks on the #New York streets weren't cheering Trump, but the brave jurors who stood against him. It felt like the end of "#Ghostbusters," when New Yorkers applauded our little guy heroes who saved the city from a demonic apocalypse."

calling all #neurologists. If you have something to say about #Trump's semantic incoherence, now is the time. #psychologist Dr. John Gartner is leading the way.
