The Authoritarian Handbook:
Eliminate political opposition / consolidate power.
Confirm that power within one person.
Make race an ideological feature.
Undesirables - homosexuals, liberals, and socialists.
Oppress any opposition.
Control artistic expression.

@WhiteHatsAre___ Thank you. I stand corrected

#FreedomOfSpeech is NOT cancelling or threatening to cancel late night talk shows; or cutting off NPR’s funding because of their presumed politics or sense of humor. Freedom of Speech IS a 1st Amendment right as vital as our 2nd Amendment.

#MentalHealth is an issue, but Mental Help, after the fact, is much too late. More stringent #GunControl over easy access is essential. The #ProtectionOfLawfulCommerceAct and the #FederalAssaultWeaponsBan need a deeper look!

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

@WhiteHatsAre___ Taking away anyone’s #FreeSpeech is wrong. Free Speech is what makes the US democratic in a life-affirming way. Cancel culture is not productive. It eliminates debate and creates animosity. Both sides of the political aisle needs to recognize that fact.

Jane Fonda on the Trump regime: “Authoritarians take about 18-22 months to consolidate power. This administration is moving fast which means we have to move fast. We have to do everything we can to stop what’s happening before it becomes the norm”

Ana Vasquez, of @innocencetexas and president of @InnocenceNtwrk, and the #SanAntonio4 showed up for #RobertRoberson, as they have been for years!

[Innocence Project @innocence]

Back in 2002, Brian Wharton led the charge against Robert Roberson. Now, he's fighting for Robert's freedom and urging Gov. Abbott to stop his execution before it's too late. https://t.co/0OuO2r9Bnu

This year, every US state has suffered a #schoolshooting, leaving 855 killed and 2,385 injured. We are stalwart protectors of our 2nd Amendment rights, but who or what is protecting our children’s rights to live.

On Jan. 20th, #MartinLutherKingDay, Donald Trump will be inaugurated. The irony is deeply disturbing. MLK fought for civil rights. Trump, fights for no one but himself. Can a narcissist serve a nation? I fear for our #democracy and #TheConstitution.

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

I’m stunned. I fear the impending darkness, but will take comfort from the starlight. Hate born of fear is an addiction that can be cured. Some day our President will be someone’s daughter.

A #Vote for KAMALA HARRIS is a #Vote for FREEDOM, UNITY, and PEACE. It is a #Vote for the MIDDLE CLASS and WOMEN’S RIGHTS. It is a #Vote for DEMOCRACY. #Vote

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

Tomorrow, you who haven’t yet voted could make a huge difference. Without question, our democracy is at risk. The choice is hypocrisy or honesty, unity or demagoguery. Are we to remain a country of principles, or become a nation of vengeful retribution? #Vote

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

In three days our democracy will either march on to form a more perfect union, or we will have been divided by the hypocrisy of a would-be autocrat. If you are still undecided, or considering sitting this one out, this is your time to do something. #Vote

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

Trump voters believe in Trump and that non-believers are anti-American; belief in Trump is subordinate to belief in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Trump believes he is above them both. In which do you believe, Trump or America’s principles?

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

Trump demonizes black and brown immigrants as violent criminals, political opponents as “enemies from within,” the press as “enemies of the people,” and Kamala as the ”anti-Christ,” yet, ironically, accuses the Harris campaign of hating. #VoteBlue

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

Trump tried to overthrow the government, he continues to equate the free press with “fake news,” he wants to deport millions of black and brown people, he wants military backed political revenge and unchecked power. Your #Vote for democracy is an imperative.

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

“Trump is ‘cultural heroin’ and the hard choice of civic virtue will never match the rush of racism, hatred, and revenge that Trump offers in its place.” — J.D. Vance

[Joe Morton @JOEtheMORTON]

Trump is very concerned with black and brown “insane,” “killers;” immigrants who use military grade weapons; but never mentions the insanity of American white males who use military grade weapons to mass murder children in schools. #Vote
