@jaymboller Anybody considered overfishing lamprey? Medieval/Renaissance England had tons of eel recipes.

Question for Democrats: Do Trump and the Republican Party pose an existential threat to what remains of democratic rights in the US?
If not, why did they say so during the campaign?
If so, why aren't they saying so now?

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

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.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Lindsey Graham blames Donald Trump for the border security legislation not passing. Retweet so all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is to blame for any border security related problems

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The Harris campaign just released this statement ahead of Trump’s press conference today. They’re so good at this.

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

If he had purchased Coca-Cola & rebranded it "Plorba-Griznik", everyone would still call it Coke.

It's Twitter, plain & simple. We tweet, we don't X-crete.

Tim Walz: “When somebody else gets some rights, it's not like a damn pie…there’s enough for everybody!”
“Same thing with jobs, with housing, with healthcare!”
"We're not gonna play their game…we presented a different argument to the American public—one where everybody matters."

Thomas-Alexandre Dumas is the most inspiring man you’ve never heard of

Born a slave, he went on to become France’s greatest general alongside Napoleon… and that wasn’t even his best achievement!

He actually inspired France’s all time greatest novel, written by his own son…

[Margaret E Atwood @MargaretAtwood]

Ahem.
