More times than I care to admit I've heard over the years from people that didn't vote because they didn't know they could drop it off on election day

I proudly voted for @KamalaHarris, @RubenGallego, reproductive rights and more in Arizona

[Jen Pace Duran @pacecreative]

For me voting isn’t just about checking a box—it’s one way I can use my voice to stand up for democracy, equality and compassion. I voted for leaders who fight for reproductive rights, environmental policies, LGBTQIA+ rights, the future of education, gun safety, and more 💙🗳��❤️

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.

In @time, Trump’s nephew recounts a conversation w/ then-president Trump after 2020 White House meeting with disability advocates.

“Those people…” Trump said of people w/ complex care needs. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”

Generative AI is “built atop the theft of creative professionals’ work”.

This clear, concise summary in the LA Times of the huge problem at the core of much generative AI is well worth a read.

Imagine having a bakery and after each customer purchase you then kicked them in the ass and stole their wallet on the way out.—Interesting way to support the artist who use and back your business, Adobe.

“I wonder what’s happening on Twitter? I haven’t been on in a while. Oh what’s this chatter about Adobe? Oh cool cool “

Lots of those in the #UVAStrong family and beyond have asked how to get a UVA Strong t-shirt to show their support. A portion of each sale will go to the UVA Strong Fund. https://t.co/10jMCnkqpS

[Rep. Liz Cheney @RepLizCheney]

With Trump back on Twitter,
it’s a good time to watch this Jan 6 hearing. It covers each of Trump’s tweets that day, including those that have been deleted, and features multiple Trump WH staff describing his inexcusable conduct during the violence. https://t.co/pVSGKf5q0P

[UVA @UVA]

Our hearts are broken at the loss of three members of our community, Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D’Sean Perry and our two UVA students currently receiving care from our medical center. Our #UVA family truly appreciates all the support from all over the country today. 🧡

In Vogue’s September issue, @serenawilliams prepares to say farewell to tennis on her own terms and in her own words. “It’s the hardest thing that I could ever imagine,” she says. “I don’t want it to be over, but at the same time I’m ready for what’s next” https://t.co/6Zr0UXVTH1

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

What a shocking development for someone who ran for president because of his commitment to norms with respect to emails and government records.
