@goldengateblond.bsky.social hi there. Wondering if you might be willing to share this. I know you’re in SF and have a big reach. Not sure if this is appropriate way to contact or not but wanted to at least try. My wife saw this on Richmond/sunset Facebook group.

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

The anti-voter SAVE Act is a radical solution in search of a non-existent problem. It's already against the law for non-citizens to vote, which is why it’s extremely rare. This bill would make it significantly harder for millions of Americans to vote. I’m leading the fight to stop it.

My name is Ben and I have autism. I’m not less than anyone else I just see the world differently. Lately I’ve been working on losing weight by walking. I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also helps with my confidence and I can enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.

Autistic here. I pay taxes. I played softball in elementary school. I am a professional writer and was awarded second place in CST by the Catholic Media Association for one of my books. My favorite date is hiking in the woods and then Sheetz MTOs. I use the toilet unassisted multiple times a day.

It warms my heart to see so many people supporting autistic people. It's bringing me out of my depression. I'm not autistic, but I'm definitely neurodivergent- so I also feel the love and support for those of us who are different 💜

And while we're at it, everyone needs to quit the "They're just putting on a show, it's not going to ACCOMPLISH anything" yakyak. All hands on deck means ALL. Peaceful marches. Civil disobedience. Feeding the homeless. Planting milkweed for the butterflies. A critical mass of ALL of it accomplishes.
