For those voters who like to split their vote by tempering a vote for a Democratic President with a vote for Republican Congress members, this is not the year for that. There are no Republicans running who have not actively enabled Donald Trump. We need Democrats working for us.
A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.
As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.
It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.
Just watch this clip. It’s 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. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.
When I produced this 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.
Musk has admitted that he and Trump plan to collapse the U.S. economy completely and that if Trump wins, USians should prepare for hardship.
The plan requires millions to sink into poverty, food insecurity, and be preyed upon by organized crime, addiction, and corporations.
Let’s help organize to make a difference this last week!

Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged.
He is seeking unchecked power in his second term, he has promised retribution and jail time for his political opponents, and he has violated his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States.
If you have a Vote by Mail ballot that you plan to mail

A Reminder:
Yes, we’re all tired. Keep going.
You just have to rest, not quit. You are not allowed to quit.
Keep picking each other up. If you can't lift more, someone next to you can help.
Keep fighting. Tune out the noise meant to dishearten you.
We will defeat him.
It’s almost as if every awful thing you have ever heard or thought about Donald Trump is shown to be demonstrably true over and over again, an endless loop of egregious incompetence and evil intent. Vote Blue.
