It’s. What? October? @Iamkeithcurry

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump and his allies would limit access to birth control, ban medication abortion, and enact a nationwide abortion ban.

Simply put, they are out of their minds.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Tonight, @KamalaHarris showed the world what I have known to be true. She is ready on day one to be President and represents the best of America. Let’s get to work.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency. 

Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

Seriously. How long does it take to get some signs? These are like $15 dollar signs. But you’re gonna spend $500 to research where to buy the signs and measure the signs and consider the signs. So. Taking matters k to my own hands. I put up signs. I got some mad sign skills.

BREAKING:

⚡ 🇫🇮 🇮🇱 Finland's Foreign Minister Alina Veltonen in a message to Israel:

"I will be clear - Israel's time for self-defense has passed, enough is enough, the residents of the Gaza Strip need a humanitarian ceasefire immediately."

She added that the Israeli government "did not do enough to protect the citizens in Gaza"

Megatron: The Israeli government has not done enough to protect Gazan civilians from genocide and massacre by the Israeli army.

@Megatron_ron It is genocide

Israeli snipers are firing on people on the main road in Dair Al-Balah
They were shooting at a young boy that was riding a bike on the street, he was on the ground under fire and miraculously escaped in the end.

Waaaaoooo!!!!!! 👏👏👏

Dr Dhananjayan (Danny) Sriskandarajah, head of Oxfam UK, has so politely destroyed israeli narrative & proves how israel is committing war crimes yet nobody is considering it as terrorism.

Things you won’t see on Fox News today…

Prices for Thanksgiving are down -- from Turkey to air travel.

Average hourly wage is up -- almost 4.4% from over a year ago, 18% from 3 years ago. That’s nearly the best 3-year gain in 40 years.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

WOW: former Trump advisor Cassidy Hutchinson just said live on MSNBC “I think everybody should vote for Joe Biden if they want our democracy to survive." She’s a Republican who worked for Trump, saw his behavior, saw how he led, and she’s saying support Biden. That’s a big deal.
