We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile.

In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

Today’s the day to make your voice heard and shape our future. If you haven’t voted yet, find your polling place, bring a friend, and let’s make a difference together. Our power is at the polls. Let’s use it. #vote

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”
NEW: At least 20 colleges in New York don’t have a polling place, according to analysis from @NYPIRG, likely violating state law that requires most colleges to have on-campus voting sites. https://t.co/GciCwOE8Lr
