Love transforms every aspect of life. A frog jumps to a different lily pad nearer to the stream's edge, spots a grasshopper, leaps to catch it mid-air, and swallows it with satisfaction.

@nytopinion @MilesTaylorUSA There are no Republicans with integrity.

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

Trump winning was a team effort brought to us by:
1. Corporate media normalizing Trump
2. Merrick Garland's failure to swiftly prosecute Trump
3. Trump's oligarchs like Elon Musk
4. The depravity of the GOP as a party
5. Sexism and racism.

Your teen goes to the pool for a fun day out. A week later they have a little summer flu. Then they can’t stand up. Within days they are paralyzed, on a breathing machine. A decade later you are changing their diapers while they sit in bed on a ventilator.

That’s polio folks..

The ACA protects folks with pre-existing conditions from being denied coverage, allows young people to stay on a parent's plan until they’re 26, and expands Medicaid. But Donald Trump still wants to end it – and he only has “concepts of a plan” for how he’d replace it. 

We can’t let that happen. Vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz to not only protect your health care, but to make it more affordable for everyone.

150 billionaire families have spent $1.9 billion on the 2024 election so far.

It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth.

It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash.

We must overturn Citizens United.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Donald Trump likes to claim that he’s done more for Black folks than any president since Abraham Lincoln. But as this piece outlines, that is another one of his shameless lies. On Tuesday, let’s make the right choice and elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! https://t.co/KY7Ffe8mxY

I’m sure the fact that Donald doesn’t know where he is will be covered vigorously by the media.

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

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

They want to repeal the CHIPS Act and kill thousands of manufacturing jobs.

They want to kill the Affordable Care Act and deny healthcare to 50 million+ Americans.

They want to gut Social Security and leave millions of seniors in financial jeopardy.

They promise "economic hardship" for non-billionaires.

They will nationalize a ban on reproductive freedom - because "women need protection whether they like it or not".

Who is voting for these lunatics?

If literally ANY other convicted felon made a public death threat on another person -- that felon would be *immediately* locked up and detained pending sentencing.

Donald Trump is NOT the victim of biased justice -- he is the #1 beneficiary.

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.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

In recent days, Trump and his surrogates have:

—Promised to repeal the CHIPS Act, which would cost thousands of American manufacturing jobs
—Promised to raise taxes on imported goods by up to “one thousand percent,” which would skyrocket your prices
—Promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would rip away health care from millions of Americans
—Promised that Trump’s economic plans will cause “hardship” for the middle class, saying it’s “necessary”
