via Julia Terruso - Shawn Fain, UAW president on Trump's McDonalds stop:
“Donald Trump, a 78 year old who's never earned a real paycheck in his life, put on a show, playing dress up at McDonald's to act like he’s one of us. Kamala Harris doesn’t have to put on a show, she’s worn the uniform.”
If elected president, Trump promised he would hire only the best people.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!✊🏾

"If Trump wins, this nation changes," Biden says. "There's only two things we can do. Make sure guarantee that he doesn't or have the strongest Democratic majority we can get."
Via Georgia reporter Stephen Fowler:
Some interesting #Georgia early voting tidbits looking under the hood... the turnout surge looks to be driven more by Republicans who vote early in person voting *earlier* than usual, and Democrats who voted by mail in 2020 switching to vote in person
Important essay from Heather Cox Richardson on #fascism and #Nazi Germany.
Features Sinclair Lewis (It Can’t Happen Here, a #mustRead) and Dorothy Thompson (the first American journalist expelled from #NaziGermany).
“It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi.”

Shoutout to all the people who like to argue with me that we're not living in a fascist police state already:

Short story here is 13 police officers raid the homes of pro-Palestinian student protesters from a group the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) banned from campus, at 6AM. Pointed guns at people's heads, refused to show a warrant, refused to identify the officers involved.
Folks, these are students, not a fucking Al Qaeda cell. This is an Ivy League school; theoretically the students at Penn are the FUTURE LEADERS of American society. We are ALREADY through the looking glass; this shit is not *coming* it's already here.
PS - when you folks get mad at me for trying to raise awareness, boost solidarity, and pitch for organizing while refusing to write you a step-by-step pamphlet for "how to revolution" you do realize that I KNOW this is the police state we live in and that's part of why right? Cause sometimes I don't think you understand what fucking time it really is.

I think many people are reluctant to believe how awful Trump's supporters are because they don't want to believe that about Trump supporters they know personally. The basic question is, "How could they be so hateful when they're always nice to me?" People just don't want to believe someone they know is hateful, two-faced, and has successfully fooled them about who they are.
@GottaLaff On the Arnold Palmer story, the crudeness of it is the attraction. Just ran into 2 young Latino men at the Farmer's Market who saw my commaLA hat blurted out they were voting for Trump. Made me think that the ancient male patriarchy is fighting back, wanting to go back when men were the boss. We're not going back.
