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.
Do you know what to do when you see traffic lights flashing or if they're out?
FLASHING RED: Treat like a stop sign (no rolling stops!).
FLASHING YELLOW: Proceed with caution.
NO SIGNALS: Treat like a four-way stop; first to stop goes first.
Stay safe!

Just finished reading Despicable Wonders with my kiddo. We are both in tears! What an incredible read! We will be impatiently waiting for book 4!
72 days until the election‼️
It's just me and Gaetz now.
✅️I am a community safety advocate, women's rights champion, and fierce defender of our democracy. I am also a bereaved mother and widow.
❌️He is a trust fund baby with zero life experience to draw from, who only wants power.
Help me unseat Matt Gaetz and bring decency back to the office he has squandered.
I only need $6 million. You can keep the rest. 😉

Y'all, the Election is CLOSE and volunteers are needed to spread the word about voting Yes on Amendment 4 to end Florida's near-total abortion ban.
