Today is Alzheimer’s Advocacy Day at the Statehouse. Was honored to speak and present a resolution. We must fight against this horrible disease affecting thousands in our state!

Thank you @JoeShekarchi! We were honored to have you participate in our Alzheimer’s Advocacy Day! We appreciated hearing your very thoughtful words! #ENDALZ

Honored to speak at @alzassocri's Advocacy Day. Alzheimer's is a very personal issue for me: many people may not know this, but my dad has Alzheimer's and I've watched it take so much from him.

He used to tell me to never give up hope. I'm hopeful there will one day be a cure.

Our current leaders made a pledge to use "common sense" in governing. As a clinician scientist and leaders, it is unclear to us, how cutting the NIH budget that helps millions of ALL #redandblue Americans sensible, justifiable and making ANY sense. @WHOSTP @uconnhealth @Nature

[Meredith Sheehan @MSheehanRI]

@MiaForRep @alzassocri It was such a pleasure meeting you! I look forward to working with you on our legislative priorities to help those living with Alzheimer's and dementia in RI and the thousands of caregivers who love them!

This video is incredible.

Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.

It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.

Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

When I produced this 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.
