we’ve been defensively fact-checking and reacting for years now and it’s only gotten worse. Elon’s hellscape will be election 🗳 chaos.

Time to go on informational offense. I’ll start. Republicans will claim counting delays = fraud. This is a lie. Counting is democracy.

One thing I will never, ever, ever get over is learning how many Americans were one narcissistic sociopath away from voting for textbook fascists and blathering fascist slogans like decorticated zombies. I'll never unsee it.

What if genocide, not war, was considered the central problem of International Relations? How would the study of international relations be different?

I ask that question of my Intro to IR students. Here's what we discussed.

It actually makes sense. All the really wonderful things about Twitter…the elevation of people who are doing charitable, benevolent and decent things; the high-fiveing your fellow citizen’s successes…these things are anathema to @elonmusk His insecurity needed to burn it down.

Few American elections in recent memory have been as threatened by the specter of political violence and democratic dissolution as this one.

“It’s not Democrats who left the voting public with only one choice if they want to protect democracy as they know it. The reason the stakes are so high is that the Republican Party has made them this high,” writes @jbouie. https://t.co/QLcWCxIbpP
