As Timothy Snyder said, yesterday, the first major action of Hitler's SS was the forced deportation of migrants. The web of lies, unless educated, doesn't seem to connect any dots to Jews and Haitians eating people's pets. The antisemitic trope Trump chose to express himself is Jews, Jews, Jews, and Jews are all bad. His stance on Zelensky and Ukraine is focused on the antisemitic stereotype. He never mentions the Russian invasion itself, never speaks of Russian war crimes, or that Zelensky and Ukraine are fighting for what is right. Zelensky is a democratically elected president under attack who has fought courageously when he was to fail in several days two years ago. Trump stands next to him, stabs him in the back, mentions his good friend Putin, and the impeachment hoax, on the world stage and those who know know it is all antisemitic. The Ukraine war is but a scam for Zelensky to make money. Freedoms aren't about money, in our world and mindset, as they are in an oligarchy or dictatorship. If so, no one would own a gun. Only the wealthiest would. Look at what has happened since Milei took office. It will happen here. Check out Tim Snyder's stack "Thinking about...". Musk should not have government contracts, period. He also isn't protected by the 1st if his words of disinformation and fraud are to promote himself for money or a position at the White House. I may be wrong but that's a huge problem when I see what he posts and his 200+M followers see also. I think Seth Abramson's stack "Proof" is a good source however lengthy it may be. He is now writing an autobiography of Musk. Just a suggestion. Thanks for your info and Hi to G-ma!! We can't go back and we must push back against these narratives that are inhumane and indecent and the people who most certainly will cause this election to go to the 6 Pillars of Tyranny (7). Trump is interfering in his third election, one made him a felon, and Musk is right there with him.

We are repeating the cycle that happened before WW2. You have correctly pointed it out as have Rachel Maddow and others. This time the stakes are higher. 2 Peter 3:10 “the world will end in fire.”There are misguided and mislead Evangelicals hoping that Trump and his so called “christians” will usher in the “Rapture”. In reality they are following false prophets and false messiahs just as the Bible foretold. They are filled with hate. They worship power, money and vengeance.

What did the Lord say? I will have no gods before me!

The are accounts of those who have seen Hell and been brought back as witnesses too.

JIM STEWARTSON !

Please try to get the NYT to print this in the Opinion section.

Try the Washington Post, too.

Or tell us why you think they wouldn't do it. 🤔

Fascinating history with Ford and his propaganda outlet. The parallels to today are stunning.

It all fits hand-in-glove with this nerdy dive into some of the psychology I wrote after the “They’re Eating the Cats” line from the debate. The Fords, Musks and Trumps of the world are extreme social dominators, and they foment authoritarianism with their self-serving BS. This is exactly how atrocity develops, because of these goons and their power plays.

I was just searching trump’s timeline for a tweet and to think he’s allowed -as a former POTUS who’s on the ballot -to deploy a constant fire hose of lies about our country, our government, our allies & in an election year is breathtaking. Every👏Single👏Tweet 👏 is a verifiable -usually harmful- lie.
