I’m leaving Twitter (now X) soon. Its descent into a cesspool of misinformation has crossed a line. I won’t endorse or amplify this massive flow of mental trash anymore.

A mi siempre me ha cagado la música de BadBunny, pero ahora que le va a dar en la madre al espectáculo más visto por los gringos, me alegro un chingo que sea él quien aparezca en el medio tiempo del SuperBowl y explico porque:
–Cantará en español.
–Canceló su gira por EEUU para evitar que sus fans fueran arrestados por ICE
–Se ha manifestado en contra de las políticas migratorias de Trump
–Tiene una canción llamada "Nueva Yol", donde con IA, imita a Donald Trump, ofrece disculpas a los migrantes y dice que Estados Unidos no es nada sin ellos.
En resumen, será un golpazo para los MAGA, ver a un latino en el show que esperan por meses.
We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.
On the 13th aniversary of his death, let's not forget the time Jack Layton made the clear case for proportional representation during the 2011 Federal Election debate.
Truly an inspiring leader.
This clip is excerpted 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 my fascism special in 2018, I hoped this day would never come to America. 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.
And please vote tomorrow like your dreams made possible by American freedoms depend on it. Because they do.
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.
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!
