The gut-wrenching cries of this rabbit will haunt you. How can anyone wear angora after seeing this?

[Rick Steves @RickSteves]

How do fascists derail democracy? If you study history (or read Project 2025), it’s almost like there’s a recipe book: goose the economy, abolish unions, privatize what’s public, win the support of tycoons. But at what cost? Mesmerize your base so they don’t care. Blind them with your fear-mongering, lies, and promises. Fascism needs a bold leader…the only one who can fix things…a dictator who has the vision and expects others to follow (including women…whether they like it or not).

I believe that history is indeed speaking to us — and those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. To learn how fascism hijacked Germany a century ago, just watch this five-minute clip. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

This is an excerpt 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 it back 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.

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.

This is how #fishing looks in today's world. Disgusting! 😱

For far too long, the plight of fish has been ignored. Until now.

This madness NEEDS to an end. RT if you agree. 😡

RFK Jr.: Yes, I would sign a national abortion ban

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I voted early, and I hope you do too.

This is the most important election of our lifetimes. I know @KamalaHarris will do one hell of a job as our next president.

Make your plan to vote: https://t.co/Hy8C4mIL2M.

[Gretchen Whitmer @gretchenwhitmer]

Mike Johnson's asinine admission that he would repeal the CHIPS Act if Republicans and Trump win the election is a complete disaster for thousands of Michigan workers relying on the jobs that this legislation provides.

Make no mistake, a repeal of the CHIPS Act would kill thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs right here in Michigan. The CHIPS Act was a huge win for Michigan workers, our manufacturers, and families’ pocketbooks, because it’s all about bringing a vital supply chain home, creating more good-paying jobs, and lowering costs. Republicans can’t stop attacking Michigan jobs and businesses, and we’ve got to vote them out.

Women will go to jail under Trump’s federal abortion ban.

As a reminder,

The US has had 46 presidents. Among them, there have been 91 criminal felony charges indicted. Those charges are distributed among the presidents as in the following list:

A Texas teen tested positive for sepsis, but was cleared to leave because her fetus still had a heartbeat.

She got worse, but they insisted on 2 ultrasounds before treatment.

She died hours later.

If you have daughters in TX, vote for Allred & Harris. Their lives depend on it.

We know those chickens were fed unnaturally and they suffered in their oversized bodies like any little one would 3 times its natural weight. We do abnormal things to these beings. A fat chicken roasting is not a reward but treachery. A vegan lifestyle is humane and healthy.
