The ABCs of Insurrection A is for American Authoritarians. Approx: 18% of Americans are highly disposed to authoritarianism. Another 23% are one step below them on the authoritarian scale. Check out the Am Authoritarian Index in my book. @GraceTatter @GrahamVyse @tribelaw

The AfD's mission is to rehabilitate the image of the Nazi movement. One leader's license plate is an open tribute to Hitler. A top AfD official said about migrants, "We can always shoot them later...or gas them." Another described Judaism as the "inner enemy" in Germany.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: @elonmusk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Trump on Liz Cheney: ‘Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her’ - This Trump should be rejected by every politician, leader, and member of 4th estate in this country. If this isn’t a bright Red Line crossed, what is?

The former president called Cheney ‘a radical war hawk.’

Supreme Court allows Virginia to purge voter rolls ahead of the election - NBC News….Supreme Court overturns District and Appellate Court rulings to purge voters in Virginia. Shame, shame, shame! @USSupremeCourt
apple.news
The state wants to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls, but challengers said it pulls in lawful voters, too, and that it is too close to the election, in violation of federal law.

Trump Is an Authoritarian. So Are Millions of Americans - POLITICO. A reminder from 2020. This is a battle for the future of America.

It’s not how we think of our fellow-citizens, but no matter who wins in November, the impulse will be very much alive in the country. What do they want?

@rickperlstein Sorta like what's described in this piece by @MatthewMacWill1 in 2016? https://t.co/t6BEwYyKp0 They are birds of a feather, of course they'll goosestep together.

Trump’s radical view would test the military - Defense One…Great article! Check the choice, and my quote, at the end. If Trump elected, military is the last check. What will they do? See 1934 parallel.

Commanders and troops could be forced to contend with a president who orders the use of military force against political rivals.

Strike Two for Equal Justice Under Law. Trump judicial appointees are hollowing out the meaning of the rule of law and democracy. Another sad day and talk about weaponization! Decision timed for beginning of RNC. Shame, shame, shame
Judge Cannon just did the unthinkable: She dismissed the Trump classified documents case on the repeatedly rejected basis that DOJ violated the Constitution’s Appointments Clause by appointing Special Counsel Smith at all! DOJ must appeal right away. On SCOTUS, only Justice

“By shielding Trump from standing trial before a jury in two of his felony cases, Trump’s three appointments to the Supreme Court, along with the even more MAGA Justices Alito and Thomas and Judge Aileen Cannon, have already irreparably interfered in the 2024 election.”

Sobering read by @MatthewMacWill1 about the drop in consistent support for democracy across Europe, referencing also the polling & research @EMInternational did together with him in 2022. 1/3 https://t.co/fwORiplQof

The question is, what can be done to bolster support for democracy among Europe’s youth before it’s too late?

We must give citizens direct access to the decisions that affect them, by making our democracy more participatory, so their contact with democracy (and their affinity towards it) doesn’t just depend on casting a ballot every 4-5 years. 3/3

Jefferson Davis wants you to know that he had nothing to do with trying to destroy the United States -- he says it should all be blamed on his wife.

Notable: One of the Trump campaign insiders who was indicted today in the Arizona election-fraud case was recently hired by the @GOP to head its “election integrity” unit.

Former OAN reporter Christina Bobb was involved in the fake elector scheme—and so much more.

So not only was Katie Britt a flaming embarrassment. She is also an out and out liar. Alabama’s finest!
Holy moly. This is worth every minute. Jonathan Katz exposes Katie Britt as a lying sack of shit. 👀
