Ahh I see so it’s the login and hence friction to request FOIA that’s likely illegal not the specific that it is using ID.ME

Can you please say or link a bit more about this part “sign in via IDme which should be/is? illegal”?

Every time I open BSKY I see posts about all the new specific awful things happening.

Do people posting think they’re reaching new people?

Finally convincing the unconvinced?

Take specific action. Here’s how. @operationanti-king.bsky.social

Dear Editor,
Monday morning, I asked the office of our congressional Representative, Michael Guest (MS-03), if 
he supported impeaching president Trump. Having received no response on Tuesday morning, I 
asked again. I have still not received a response. This is upsetting and I am unhappy seeing this lack 
of foresight and leadership from my district's representative.
As a concerned citizen and voter from Starkville, MS, it’s obvious that Trump is leading the country 
into authoritarianism. His threats not to leave at the end of this term are highly credible. Hyperbole 
about the danger of his administration, from immigration to the economy, has become reality. He 
and his cabinet are lawless, unaccountable to our justice system, and have committed a multitude
of crimes. If we don’t impeach him now, American democracy may not survive his path of 
destruction.
I'm not willing to risk that. 
I am encouraging Congressman Guest to publicly commit to upholding their most fundamental 
democratic role - removing tyrants from office. Commitment to these basic facts – that Trump is a 
tyrant, and Congress needs to act now to get him out of the White House – will be a major litmus 
test for any 2026 candidate. I hope we get a good response from them on this critical issue soon.

But surely none of the fraud involves the cryptocoins named for occupants of the White House right now.

A line graph titled "Reported polio cases in the United States" displays the number of reported polio cases from 1910 to 2022. The vertical axis represents the number of cases, ranging from 0 to 60,000, while the horizontal axis indicates the years. The graph shows a dramatic peak in polio cases around 1952, with over 58,000 cases reported. Following this peak, there is a noticeable decline in cases, reaching nearly zero by the early 1960s, reflecting the impact of vaccination efforts. The graph includes a note stating it accounts for both wild and vaccine-derived poliovirus infections, whether indigenous or imported.

In the footer are the data sources: Public Health Reports (1942), United States Census Bureau (1945), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2023). The graph is attributed to "Our World in Data" and is licensed under CC BY.

Vaccination eliminated polio from the United States

EVENING UPDATE:

1) 50 states, 349 districts, 80% representation in Operation Anti-King. Amazing.

2) We're missing Al Green's district, TX-09. Unbelievable.

There's one day left, let's make the most of it! Follow this 🧵 for those districts that still need representation!

This will be the last graph update tonight - as of 10:30pm ET, Operation Anti-King has 30 states and 100+ districts representing!

We're 25% of the way there! Text the volunteer sign-up form to your anti-king friends & let's get all 50 states on the map. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
