The real muscle behind Trump’s “populist” movement is the moneyed class — wealthy heiresses, tech bros, and crypto kings. They influence policy to favor the rich, and tell voters that immigrants and DEI have caused their economic plight.

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power.

Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY.

Today’s the day! Election Day is finally here.
Know your rights when voting.
ALT A green graphic that reads “Know your rights on election day.” In a yellow box, it reads “If the polls close while you’re still in line, stay in line — you have the right to vote, if you make a mistake on your ballot, ask for a new one, if the machines are down at your polling place, ask for a paper ballot,” and “if you run into any problems or have questions on Election Day, call the Election Protection Hotline: 1-866-OUR-VOTE.” A star and three arrows are in the bottom corner.

“The story of Florida is not just the story of Florida. It’s the story of a progressive movement that’s struggling to make it in the South, that’s struggling to compete with younger voters of color, that is struggling to win with younger men.” @RayPaultre nytimes.com/2024/10/29/us/fl…

This election is about FREEDOM.
Freedom for a woman to decide what is right for her without the government telling her what to do with her body.
Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #KamalaForFreedom to get it trending?

NYT tweeted this to its 55 million followers and it has under 500 retweets - presumably suppressed due to the link out. “John Kelly, Donald Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, said Trump met the definition of a fascist and would try to govern like a dictator if elected”
