"Anybody who assaulted law enforcement should not be eligible to receive funds from this. That is wrong," former GOP Congressman @PeterMeijer says after Acting AG Blanche said that anyone can apply for "anti-weaponization" fund money, even January 6 rioters.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

STATES CANNOT INVADE ONE ANOTHER.
This is so simple -- so fundamental to America -- I cannot believe I have to type those words.
America is on the brink of martial law.
Bad Bunny responded, in Spanish, to all of the MAGA fans who are furious that he’s performing at the Super Bowl during his SNL monologue “Our footprints and contributions in this country, no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it”
Oh, Kamala Harris is so back, ending her speech with: “This country is ours. It doesn’t belong to whoever is in the White House. It belong to you. It belongs to us. It belongs to We the People.”
@janekleeb@OWHnews@HenryCordes Exactly…..When President Obama came to Nebraska, constituents had to demand our Governor to greet him. We are divided in unhealthy ways. #Huskers#USA
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.
What is happening with our system to get items on the ballot? Do we want to encourage opposition to create fraud? To silence what the people want to vote on? Let the people be heard! #Nebraska#Pillen#Huskers#Omaha
@ArtsyTeacherOne@jim_pillen Nebraska Senators need to be strong and do right by the people of Nebraska! We have a fair electoral system set up here in Nebraska. Do not use more tax payer money for another special session.
🚨 LISTEN UP 🚨:
The reason the @GOP and Trump don’t seem to be concerned about winning the election is terrifyingly simple: they don’t think they’re going to need to because they have dozens of election-deniers in place across the swing states planning not to certify results.
