Turnout at the Evanston, IL (just outside Chicago) No Kings rally was 3x that of the first No Kings rally in June: It rose from 2,000 to about 6,000 protestors peacefully defending democracy. Here's a snippet of song from the protest, with thousands chiming in. #NoKings #Evanston

I think this book explains why we're probably screwed. Everything autocrats do is interconnected across nations. It's becoming more & more clear that even the Epstein cover-up is likely related to a vast & deep international group(s). #EpsteinCoverup #Epstein #Autocracy #DictatorsWorkTogether

An important book about the organized disinformation campaign against science, a campaign that's politically & financially motivated (ex: RFKJr's & Dr. Mehmet Oz's motives). #ScienceUnderSiege #MAHACampaignOfGrift #CorruptionInMedicine #Anti-ScienceDisinformation #HealthcareUnderAttack #DrPeterHotez

Perhaps some instructive lessons here for saving our country's democracy. As the Nobel Prize-winning author, who stood up to Philippine dictator Rodrigo Duterte, says "Once you lose rights, it's very hard to claw them back." #Fascism #Dictator #HowToStandUpToADictator #Liberty #ConstitutionalRights

If you want to understand real Christianity, not the White Nationalist version, & how all religions share its tenets, pick up this book. It can also help guide conversations with right-wing/MAGA so-called Christians. #JohnFugelsang #ChurchAndState #Christianity #Fundamentalism #Faith #Spirituality

Since the 1930s, Nazis & Fascists have been working to dismantle our democracy. If Trump were gone tomorrow, we'd still be facing this dilemma; their roots run deep. Here's a book explaining their plan & how it once was subverted. A sequel study is forthcoming in April. #NazisInAmerica #HitlerInLA

From one of the experts who helped get us through the Covid-19 pandemic comes his new book on the next pandemic, which could be much worse. Dr. Osterholm also consulted on the movie "Contagion," which foreshadowed the Covid-19 pandemic. Out Sept. 2nd. #Pandemics #Covid-19 #PublicHealth

Since AI mis-captioned a video with Kristi Noem's name spelled as "Christy Gnome," I asked AI to design a caricature featuring Christy Gnome. #KristiNoem #ChristyGnome

Love this quote from comedian Michael Ian Black.
Senator Cory Booker went above & beyond to stand up for democracy literally & figuratively. I hope his words are made permanent in book form. That would be a book every school, library, & citizen should own & read--for knowledge, guidance, & inspiration. Bravo, Sen. Booker! #CoryBooker #Persist

Why was the flu vaccine more ineffective for the elderly during Trump's first term than at any time before? What does that bode for this term, when the meeting to determine this year's flu vaccine was canceled? #Flu #FluShot #FluVaccine #Immunization #ElderlyHealth #Elderly #Vaccines #Vaccination
