We just commemorated the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, when the world was in the thick of WWII & Americans were UNITED in the war effort. That unity helped defeat fascism in 1945.
We’re now living with the PROMISE of an era of real fascism if Convicted Felon Donald Trump & his thugs prevail in 2024.
That nightmare can become our reality if we don’t spread the TRUTH & GET OUT THE VOTE.
This time around, it’s up to YOU, ME, ALL OF US.
We have to become another “Greatest Generation.”
Trump's team is more focused so far on building a sprawling network of "#ElectionIntegrity" #lawyers & #PollWatchers than on rounding up organizers & door knockers to reach voters.
It's a sign that 5 months before Election Day, the legal battle is underway —& that Trump PLANS to cry "rigged" if he loses, as it did after the #2020election & his #felony#convictions.
It occurred to me today that many more Fedi peeps are now posting excellent political messages.

So many historians, pundits, gov’t experts, & everyday patriots are warning us NOW about the danger to democracy if Convicted Felon Donald Trump & the GOP win the 2024 election in FIVE MONTHS.
🚨If this were Germany in the 1920-30’s, would YOU be doing what you’re doing today — or would YOU be fighting fascism?
The U.S. has not had a voter turnout greater than 70% in over 100 years.
✔️VOTING IS OUR ONLY REAL DEFENSE AGAINST FASCISM, FELON TRUMP & THE GOP.
the same america that brought you the brutal annexation of hawaii and multiple ongoing genocides now calls upon all true patriots to tick a little box and otherwise shut the fuck up #BidenHarris2024
one candidate is a nepo slumlord rapist. the other has devoted his life to an empire that necessitates nepo slumlord rapists. the choice is clear #BidenHarris2024
no election in my life so far has been more important to pretending this settler nightmare has any legitimacy not derived from force of arms #BidenHarris2024
While #Biden has so far avoided naming #Trump during his time abroad, he has increasingly warned of the dangers posed by the kind of #authoritarian & #isolationist impulses the fmr president has embraced in his push to return to the #WhiteHouse. #POTUS, who has said in the past that America’s very #democracy is at stake in the coming #election, …[has juxtaposed] #DDay’s 80th anniversary to sound the alarm about the advance of #antidemocratic forces across the globe.
#POTUS#Biden said Thurs he would not #pardon his son, if convicted.
Biden said “yes” when asked in an ABC interview if he would rule out pardoning Hunter Biden…. Biden also said yes when the interviewer asked if he would accept the trial’s outcome.
The president has said for months that he would not pardon his son.
“I’ve been very clear — the president is not going to pardon his son,” WH press sec Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in Dec.
Hunter Biden is accused of making false statements in filling out paperwork to purchase a gun in 2018. The max sentence for the most serious charge is 10yrs in prison.
Hunter’s trial is unfolding days after #Trump was convicted of all counts in his #FalsifiedBusinessRecords 2016 #ElectionInterference trial in #NewYork.
Trump has vocally criticized the trial as “rigged”….
"He's trying to undermine it" #POTUS said re Trump. “He got a fair trial. The jury spoke."
#ClimateDiary I don’t know whether anyone else does this, but with so much I read about what is happening right now, like this on #Arizona and heatstroke measures, I can’t help imagining it both as a document read by later historians (“how it all unfolded”) and as a report from the future - ie, this is what I thought would start happening in the future, if we don’t do anything to prevent it.
It is a lot to process that this really is our reality, right now 1/2

I find (unfortunately) that those who CAN put things together, who aren’t afraid to use intuition, experience, common sense, are few & far between. Futurists, synthesists, deep thinkers, witches, I don’t know. Somehow the label “doomer” pops up, but too often predictions become fact when it’s too damn late.
I think it’s too damn late for every living thing on this despoiled planet.
