America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist.
With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America.
If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.
I beg of you, no matter what differences you might have with Kamala Harris on a wide range of issues, to make your voice heard and firmly reject authoritarianism. The future of our country depends on it.
One thing I know you’re probably sick of hearing by now. “This is the most important election of our lifetime.” Let me just make the case for why that’s true, and why it’s so important that Kamala Harris is elected President on Tuesday.

Trump and the Republican party want to ban abortion nationwide, restrict birth control and increase data collection to monitor pregnancies. Project 2025 includes references to having H.H.S. "maintain a biblically based, social science-reinforced definition of marriage and family"
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.
Gov. Walz and @AOC react to this clip: “When you have some a-hole calling Puerto Rico ‘floating garbage,’ know that that's what they think about you. It's what they think about anyone who makes less money than them… I want every Puerto Rican in Philadelphia and Reading and across the country to see this clip”
RFK Jr. has been such an incredible c-plot to this election cycle. every other week it's "wow I never could have predicted this" and then he does it again, straight bangers every time
Perfect opportunity to repeat this writing tip I learned at the Simpsons:
Never shoot down an idea, no matter how crazy or stupid it may sound.
Lean into it. It may be nothing OR it becomes the Dr Zaius scene, which is, in fact, the combo of 5 separate "crazy" "stupid" pitches.
I wrote this a few months ago assuming I’d be laid off eventually. I was not, but I’m posting it anyways:
I’m writing this a few days after the metacritic and other scores for The Final Shape was released. I know what is coming, so I want to be clear in my mind as I write this.
Kamala Harris being in 2019 GOTY Control as an Object of Power fully explains her sudden ascendancy to the top of the ticket. Remedy has done it again.
President Biden has been infected by the T-virus released in Raccoon City developed by the Umbrella Corporation. As a result of his transformation his body has taken on inhuman strength and speed
