Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · last wk.There are now 100 days until the midterms. Trump will only get more unhinged and more authoritarian over these next few months as he feels his power start to slip.

Our MBK Alliance Ambassadors are examples of the outstanding young people we’ve been proud to support at the @obamafoundation.bsky.social over the years. We hope the Obama Presidential Center inspires even more.
Obama: "It's a reminder that on a lot of different foreign policy problems, the notion we can just bully our way or bomb our way to solution may sometimes seem appealing ... You'd think we would've learned that lesson by now, but it seems like every so often we have to learn that lesson again."

It's been a while since I've said this, but school vouchers are a scam on the taxpayers.
