Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump.
It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.
Really is a tough call.
On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan
But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman
Quite the dilemma
How do fascists derail democracy? If you study history (or read Project 2025), it’s almost like there’s a recipe book: goose the economy, abolish unions, privatize what’s public, win the support of tycoons. But at what cost? Mesmerize your base so they don’t care. Blind them with your fear-mongering, lies, and promises. Fascism needs a bold leader…the only one who can fix things…a dictator who has the vision and expects others to follow (including women…whether they like it or not).
I believe that history is indeed speaking to us — and those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. To learn how fascism hijacked Germany a century ago, just watch this five-minute clip. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
This is an excerpt from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. When I produced it back 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.
Sometimes I think Republicans must laugh like crazy in private about Democrats tolerating the electoral college, which means they win the popular vote by a mile but still have a scrum over who wins the election. It's time for us to change that & have a fair system
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..
Can I ask why it’s not even major news that tapes came out this week in which the most notorious pedophile in American history — who was mysteriously MURDERED while incarcerated — said he was BEST FRIENDS with Donald fucking Trump?
I am one of those women who used to hide my voting choice from my spouse.
In my abusive “Christian” marriage, the only way I could vote my conscience without severe repercussions for myself and the kids, was to not let him know.
What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!
I often hear folks say, “Donald Trump sent me a check during the pandemic.”
I want to make sure you understand this: Congress sent you a check. By the way, Joe Biden also sent you a check during the pandemic, just like I gave people relief during the Great Recession. The difference is that we didn’t put our names on it – because it wasn’t about feeding our egos or advancing our politics, it was about helping people.
So don’t be giving him credit for that. And don’t give him your vote, either. There’s only one candidate in this election who cares about you, and that’s Kamala Harris.
"The Kavanaugh investigation stopped" is a Watergate level story
"The Putin gets COVID testing machines meant for hospitals" is an Iran-Contra level story
"The 7 calls with Putin while in possession of classified materials" is a Rosenberg level story
#News is failing us
Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”
Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”
Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”
Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”
🚨I am part of the "Nova Festival", the organizers are some of my best mates.
Luckily I wasn't there.
As I mourn my murdered friends, I will create an *uncensored* thread of Hamas atrocities committed October 7th."
I will share stories I know about some of the victims.

Vance’s mom stole drugs from the hospital where she worked as a nurse. As a nurse myself this is the worst drug addict behavior there is -The addict steals drugs from patients and leaves them suffering in pain.
Blaming immigrants for her addiction is abhorrent racism.
