I know it seems like we didn’t get much done before Gen Z arrived, but we did.

Gaetz thought it was a great idea before the 2022 midterms to say that women who were upset about Roe being overturned were all fat & ugly.

Now, on the eve of the 2024 election, he claims that the Barbie movie was released to brainwash men not to vote.

@GOP If something seems off? Have you taken a good look at your candidates?

[Michael Hobbs @MichaelHobbs]

In visiting more than 500 doors, I've met a half-dozen Republicans saying they will vote for Kamala Harris. I had not heard one Democrat say they're voting for Trump.

[Judge Bob Orr @JudgeBobOrr]

I know that I've blocked a multitude of MAGA crazies, but I have not seen one tweet saying, "I've been a life-long Democrat and I'm voting for Trump." But I see scores of "I'm a lifelong Republican and I'm voting Harris." on this site.

Let’s go everyone! We got this!! #HarrisWalz2024

What are your options if you still have an N.C. absentee ballot ?(long tweet)
1. You can simply vote on Election Day in your precinct and discard the absentee ballot.
2. You can hand deliver it to the county board of elections that issued it, Monday during office hours, or Tuesday from office opening until 7:30 pm. You have to go into the office, no drop box. County election office addresses: https://t.co/poyvDRhIui ballots can be delivered by the voter or by a near relative (essentially spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild or in-law. )
3. If you can’t do either of the above (maybe a college student away out of state or across the state you could Monday, AT A US POST OFFICE send it Priority Mail Express (likely $32). Many post offices close at 4 pm or 4:30 pm. OR send it UPS or FEDEX NEXT DAY AIR. You will need to go into the UPS or FedEx office, or a UPS Store. Many may cut off next day delivery by early afternoon. This will likely be $50 or more. For UPS or FEDEX you must use the county board of elections street address look it up here https://t.co/poyvDRhIui ANY BALLOT SENT USPS FedEx OR UPS MUST GET TO THE COUNTY BY ELECTION DAY BEFORE 7:30 pm.
4. If you have a ballot issued by one if the 25 Hurricane Helene counties you can deliver it in person to ANY county board of elections. This could cover displaced persons OR college students away from home.

The very soul of public education is on the line. I’d appreciate your support as State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The last day to vote is on Election Day: Tuesday, November 5th. Polls close at 7:30pm.

ProPublica found four women now who've died because of the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, exposing two central problems with the press: 1. ProPublica found them and not the New York Times 2. Joe Biden's 'garbage' comment can lead the evening news but not these women's deaths

Vice President Harris makes surprise appearance on @nbcsnl

[Mo Green for NC @MoGreenforNC]

NC voters: you have two choices for State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

I've been a school district superintendent who improved graduation rates and academic achievement.

Michele Morrow’s calls for violence make her a dangerous choice to run NC public schools.

[David Cay Johnston @DavidCayJ]

The @nbcsnl
cold opening tonight with Kamala Harris and Maya Rudolph was ab-fab brilliant!
And the lead up to it with James Austin Johnson's Trump and Bowen Yang's JD Vance was perfect.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: New reporting from inside the Kamala campaign says volunteers are knocking 2,000 doors a minute in Pennsylvania. For comparison, Donald Trump has zero ground game organized. This is huge.

[The Dangerous Ones @DangerousOnesHQ]

Overturning Roe was just the beginning.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I’m asking for your vote because as president, I will get up every day and fight for the American people.

[NC Democratic Party @NCDemParty]

Now's the time to put it all on the line. We can't get out every vote for Democrats without volunteers like you. Sign up for a few shifts this weekend and let's flip North Carolina blue! https://t.co/MXGo8x7o0R

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.
