This is not a drill. He’s pledging it loudly and proudly. If you’re still voting for Trump after all of this, be clear: you’re voting for fascism and the end of American democracy as we know it. That’s not hyperbole - that’s simply paying attention to his own promises and plans:
"How Far Trump Would Go." @EricCortellessa scores two interviews with Donald Trump for @TIME, asking him to explain what he'd do in a second term. Read here: time.com/6972021/donald-trum…
A synopsis:

One thing vintage fashion sources show is that there has always been a wide range of human sizes, and that whatever size you are today, folks were also that size in the past. Most of us are not walking around with brand new, unusual bodies.

Currently rivaled by “it’s ok to destroy art because the art wasn’t even that good.” Guys it is ok to have principles and to not defend every single bad action just because the actor in question agrees with your politics.

Either you believe Trump is an existential threat to democracy or you don't. The leftists who want to gamble with it think Trump's reelection will be like his first term, where people donate and march.
They are wrong. Trump's ghouls will come for them and the rest of us.

There will in fact be significant differences between a Trump presidency and a Biden one.

As predicted, Israel has squandered the goodwill and empathy it had after the brutal Oct 7th tragedy due to its bloody retribution and cruel collective punishment against Palestinians. Same mistakes America made after the 9-11 terror attacks.

They used to throw women in the water to see if they were witches. If they drowned, they were innocent.
Now they're saying the only abortion exception is if the woman's life is at risk. If she dies, she was at risk.
You can see the recurring flaw in the methodology.

Dear @RepStefanik:
Last week you challenged Ivy League presidents to denounce antisemitism with “moral clarity” by answering yes/no questions. Dissatisfied by their answers, you agitated for their removal. What about tolerance for antisemitism among presidential candidates?

“Our staff take their children to work so they know they are safe or can die together”
In my 35 years of work in complex emergencies, I never have expected to write such a letter, predicting the killing of my staff & the collapse of the mandate I am expected to fulfill #Gaza

This is just pure antisemitism. They're just looking for random Jews to yell at.

Drivers are so accustomed to breaking the law and endangering others with impunity that any attempt at road safety is viewed as an impingement on their rights. The message this sends is that drivers should stop at red lights and stop hurting and killing people with their cars.
This is horrible. All of these cameras in neighborhoods. Further taxing Baltimore City Residents. Most within the Black Butterfly (East @SenatorMcCray & West @jillpcarter). What message are we sending to our residents? @BmoreCityDOT The program was started to make it safe for our children, to be placed near @BaltCitySchools for safe passage. Now revenue generator

In this moment of crisis in the Middle East, I want to say something to all of my colleagues in government who are looking to understand American Jewish opinion as they make their important decisions:

It's as true when people go after Jews as it is for this bigot who murdered a Muslim boy: the conflicts are just an excuse for bigots to justify violence to themselves. It's incumbent on the rest of us to reject their hateful delusions loudly and publicly.
⚡️#BREAKING A terrorist from Illinois motivated by Israel-Hamas war killed a 6-year-old Muslim boy and seriously injured his mother.
6 years old Wadea Al-Fayoume was stabbed 26 times by Joseph Czuba.
His landlord reportedly shouted, "You Muslims must die!"

Kevin McCarthy just found out in the hardest way possible that Nancy Pelosi only made it look easy.

EVERY SINGLE JOB SHOULD PAY A LIVING WAGE. If the work matters enough to hire someone to do it, that worker should be able to afford a safe comfy home, fresh nutritious food, a fun vacation sometimes and enough left to save.
YES EVERY SINGLE JOB, INCLUDING YOURS now I’m screamin

Reminder: there is no such thing as “unskilled labor.”
It’s a term made up to justify poverty wages.
