“Gradually, and then suddenly, impeachment will become as much a litmus test for Republican House members as the Big Lie.” My latest in The Atlantic: https://t.co/UylGQDg2Br

More than once, sheer luck prevented Trump’s efforts at overturning the election from finding traction, @bartongellman writes. With a small change in circumstance, momentum might have broken his way. https://t.co/vBjzWbycV5

"A healthy democracy does not need a division-size force to safeguard the incoming president in its capital."

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I get it, but some of us just spent the last 2 years taking stances that have led to repeated attempts on our lives - for demanding guaranteed healthcare, immigrant justice, etc.

Sorry if this lacks empathy, but it’s a privilege if this is their first time. They can do one vote.

For contrast, this is how the National Guard defended the Lincoln Memorial during BLM protests.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

The worst day in American democracy in my lifetime.

[Barton Gellman @bartongellman]

Majorities of House Republicans have now supported, seriatim, the positions that (1) red states can tell blue states to change election results, (2) the VP decides who won the election, and (3) Congress can veto the voters' choice of president on January 6.

Joe Biden has already changed his @Twitter bio ⬇️

[Barton Gellman @bartongellman]

Very significant rejection of a bypass-the-vote scenario I described in late September, when the same PA GOP leaders told me it was a live option. This reflects the failure of Trump’s fabricated fraud allegations to take hold. Democracy is winning. So far.

And Chuck Shumer on the Senate floor recommended people read this RT @bartongellman: Smart questions from @AdrienneLaF in our conversation today about “The Election That Could Break America.” https://t.co/B0wWkkGj8V

[Barton Gellman @bartongellman]

This is kind of cool. Audio version of my new piece, The Election That Could Break America,” read by a professional actor with a much better voice than mine. @TheAtlantic

[Avishay Ben-Sasson-Gordis @AvishayBSG]

One image from @bartongellman's excellent and terrifying piece is a cause of mild optimism. He describes election wonks as intelligence analysts. As a former intel-analyst it got me thinking about how merely exposing plots can sometimes discourage attackers and prepare defenders.

[Alan Gellman @alan_gellman]

@thefiske Thanks, Mark!

[THiNKaha @thinkaha]

It was so cool to have @alan_gellman on the show. He's been named by Business Insider as one of the top 50 innovative CMOs in the world! If you're an executive who wants to improve their impact as a leader, you'll want to hear from Alan. https://t.co/bhGBB1Pm6k #CredibilityNation

[Alan Gellman @alan_gellman]

@robert_glazer Good, thoughtful post, as usual @robert_glazer. AND you refer to a critical caveat: implicit bias. The same implicit bias that draws us to similar people can make that "spidey sense" push us away from those who aren't. Not sure that's fully captured in your teaching.

Check out this short film made by @Airon381 #BLM Anti-Racism in Oakland. This impressive guy shot and edited it all yesterday as part of a film challenge.
