@OhNoSheTwitnt I have absolutely no desire to be part of the resistance. If that's what's required, so be it.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Voting is the fundamental freedom that unlocks all others.

To the poll workers and election officials who are working tirelessly to ensure every vote is counted — thank you.

NORTH CAROLINA: If you are in line to vote, STAY IN LINE! Anybody who is in line to vote by 7:30 PM is legally allowed to cast their ballot — don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. Races in NC are always close, and it’s going to take ALL of us to ensure victory.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Folks, if you’re in line to vote, stay in line.

Electing @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz is that important. I mean it.

[I_dont_want_to_be_a_human_anymore @donwannabehuman]

@RickSteves Thank you!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

The world has moved on. The camera crews are gone.

But we are still here.

Shoveling mud. Boiling water. Clinging to hope.

Please don't forget about us in #WNC.

Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (@ODNIgov), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (@CISAgov) released the following statement: https://t.co/3Pg9GsTzEH

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

For a long time, people have been sold a false choice: climate versus jobs.

Creating jobs while protecting our climate isn't just possible, it's necessary. And now, it's happening.

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

As a historian, I learn from history. As a traveler, I learn about my home by leaving it and viewing it from afar. And as a citizen of the United States of America, I vote with those lessons in mind.

When we travel thoughtfully, we gain a clearer perspective on our own nation’s challenges because we see how other nations have dealt with the same issues. We see the consequences of ignoring a budding problem before it balloons into a big one. And we see the beauty that results when a challenge is dealt with thoughtfully and successfully.

As a traveler, what’s been on your mind in these final days before our election? As for me, I’ve been thinking about Germany, where I learned how a generation can be led astray by a charismatic leader and how the German people paid a huge price for their ignorance.

Ninety years ago, Germany had a bombastic autocrat who, by mobilizing an angry base, derailed their democracy. And when he came to power, opportunists clamored for his favor. He gave a lot of medals to those loyal to him. The country was swimming in medals…heroes everywhere. Then, when it all fell apart, he retreated to his bunker, where he continued to egg on his base until, as the world closed in on him, he committed suicide.

With the leader gone, medals splashed like raindrops into lakes across the land. Suddenly, all those loyalists and heroes were nowhere to be seen — and medals proclaiming party loyalty were ditched and forgotten…as if they never existed. The adulation just vanished. And people no longer named their sons Adolf.

After years of lies, fear-mongering, and empty promises, Hitler had re-wired the brains of his base — the angry ones who followed him without question. Even when it became clear he was leading his nation into a devastating mistake, Germany had no escape.

In the end, Germany was destroyed, and the Russians raised their flag over the Reichstag.

The lesson for America? Today, Germans invest in educating their electorate...because they’ve learned from their dark history, and they see education not as a perk for society’s privileged but as a national security issue. (In America, some complain about “educated elites.” That’s a problem we can solve — not by dumbing down our society, but by providing a better education for all our citizens...before they become thugs ransacking our capital. Imagine a society where there’s nothing “elite” about a quality education because it’s accessible to all.)

I’d love to read your thoughts on how lessons from your own travels have influenced how you think about the challenges we face at home today.

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan warned of the dangers that come when citizens cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask: was he right?

[Governor Josh Stein @NC_Governor]

This week, all former NC governors filed a brief opposing the General Assembly’s attempts to take control of the State Board of Elections. Elections have been run fairly and securely for decades and these governors know that protecting voting access is critical to our democracy.

RETWEET to thank Krasner for standing up for democracy!

@NotHoodlum @SarahBCalif The bots love it!!!

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
