But I believe Pope Francis was the most badass Pope in history.
He refused to reduce God to a magician. Fought climate collapse. And preached like he time-traveled from 2140.
Here are 9 reasons why he was lightyears ahead of his time: 🧵
To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.
We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵
Kamala Harris will work to help everyone. She’ll fight for your right to disagree with her.
Trump will work to hurt those who disagree w/ him. He’s told us so.
I know which lesson I want my daughters to learn. I know which America I want for all our kids. Let’s do this. ❤️🤍💙
How do fascists derail democracy? If you study history (or read Project 2025), it’s almost like there’s a recipe book: goose the economy, abolish unions, privatize what’s public, win the support of tycoons. But at what cost? Mesmerize your base so they don’t care. Blind them with your fear-mongering, lies, and promises. Fascism needs a bold leader…the only one who can fix things…a dictator who has the vision and expects others to follow (including women…whether they like it or not).
I believe that history is indeed speaking to us — and those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. To learn how fascism hijacked Germany a century ago, just watch this five-minute clip. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
This is an excerpt from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. When I produced it back in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us.
Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high…and this is very real.
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future.
Make a plan to vote today: https://t.co/V3uLF7XRqt
If your response to Gen John Kelly, gold star father & Trump’s WH chief of staff, confirming that Trump praised Hitler & called members of our military “suckers and losers” is to defend Trump, you need to look in the mirror and realize your dishonor will live forever.
Mark Kelly knows EXACTLY who the loathsome piece of shit is. If you're a veteran who is a still supporting Trump, it's time to stop wake the fuck up and recognize you're being conned by a grifting psychopath. 😳👇
I was honored to join VP Harris in Ripon, WI, the birthplace of the Republican Party. Here are my full remarks explaining why I believe it is essential to vote for @KamalaHarris to protect our freedom and our Constitutional system.
Since the Washington Post story, & the MSNBC feature, a lot of new folks here. So, I felt inclined to share:
I didn’t know it was rare for a man to speak out about Reproductive Rights. A few months ago my wife & I lost a baby. She had an incomplete miscarriage. The care she needed, & was denied, was abortion related care. She needed a D&C. She was denied the care she needed because of the cruel & confusing abortion law/ban in Texas.
She was sent home on 3 separate occasions, after visiting multiple hospitals. She desperately needed a D&C. Instead, they decided her condition was not “enough of an emergency”. She bled, profusely, for 4 days, at home, with our dead baby inside of her.
She bled so much, she almost bled to death.
I’m just doing what I thought ANY husband or father would do!
Standing up for, & fighting for, my family.
My wife barely survived.
We also have a 1 year old daughter.
They WILL have the rights they deserve, & I will continue to do everything in my power to keep Donald Trump, JD Vance, & their barbaric anti abortion agenda out of the White House.
