If Dems and other officials do not hold the perperators of past admin crimes accountable *and* tackle the structural issues that made the US vulnerable to mafia state rule, all the Biden admin will be is a brief interlude between aspiring autocracy and entrenched autocracy.

No. Russia wants Trump to win. If he does, our foreign policy will become much more favorable to the Putin regime. Making bomb threats was a gamble with tons of upside and very little downside.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

I cannot emphasize enough how disturbing it is that Fulton and Dekalb county voting precincts were targeted for bomb threats.

These are the biggest, Blackest counties in Georgia. A quarter of the state's Black population between them.

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

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.

Obama in Milwaukee:

If you’re a Jewish American “worried about the rise of antsemitism. Why would you place your faith in somebody .. who sat down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers, who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist rally?”

Trump on his second term: "It'll be nasty a little bit at times, and maybe at the beginning in particular"

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

BOMBSHELL: Jeffrey Epstein said "I was Donald's closest friend for 10 years". He also explained Trump would fuck his friend's wives and the first time he slept with Melania it was on the Lolita Express. HOLY SHIT https://t.co/pOJERFDP0G

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

Harris took advantage instantly of Trump’s mistake.�

You think we’re being hyperbolic when we say our democracy is under attack.

This is what we mean.

Rep. Dan Goldman: Trump hinted that he has some secret with Mike Johnson. I suspect Trump's little secret plan with Mike Johnson is that when he loses, he tries to go to the House to throw out the Electoral College and have the House under Mike Johnson overturn this election.

CNN plays montage of Trump rally speakers going on vile racist and anti-American rants last night

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

Wow. Must watch @AOC this morning.

[DCPetterson.bsky.social @dcpetterson]

Heather Cox Richardson's column today discusses a pamphlet the US War Department (now, Dept of Defense) published in 1935 on the topic of fascism. Here is a sample. It sounds frighteningly familiar. It is Trumpist rhetoric, exactly.

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

If you are voting for Trump after this rally, you support fascism. If you claim it's because of taxes or immigration or whatever issue makes you feel righteous about supporting a fascist, you're like an Italian supporting Mussolini because he made the trains run on time.
