No, unless there were so many Trumpsters in power in statehouses that he could repeal the amendment that established only two terms. The largest danger is that he will do what he’s doing now: simply ignore the constitution, with the backing of the Attorney General.

At that time I was in the middle of a campaign; the last thing I was seeing were all the emails coming in. There were many unresponded to in what is to me now a heartbreaking way. But I hope you also see that on issues of racial justice, no one’s campaign was more bold & specific

And they must not happen now! That’s why we all need to be doing everything possible to stop the administration that perpetrates these things.

I was speaking about giving women forced hysterectomies. That is exactly what the Germans did to the women prisoners in the concentration camps. It is a completely wicked and hideous thing to do.
No I don’t need to “check myself.” I’ve spent a 37 yr career being very vocal about the evils of slavery as well as genocide against Native Americans. But I don’t have to sit & be okay with the subtle anti-Semitism by which some people seek to minimize the Holocaust. I see you.

Not true at all. Many of the concentration camps were work camps rather than death camps, although once people had worked so much that they were of no use to the Nazis then they would be sent to death camps.

If for no other reason than this, we must vote for Biden in order to stop Trump from continuing to pack our courts with ultra-right conservative judges.
BREAKING: 9th Circuit has given the Trump administration a green light to proceed with deportation of about 300,000 El Salvadorans by ending the 'temporary protected status' they've had for up to 20 years. 2-1 ruling today. Doc: bit.ly/33tjOTi More to come

I don’t think we should be thinking in terms of it being a contest. And total mass murder really does come in second to none.

No, actually it’s not. America has always been, in every generation, a struggle between the best and the worst human traits. No differently than now. We’ve never been all good and we’ve never been all bad. We’ve been a mix of the two from the very beginning.

Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping. The rest of us are going to work our asses off trying to save this country, but you keep tweeting all that stuff and I’m sure it will make a huge difference.

That’s a question people will spend decades writing books about. Right now we just have to stop it.

Not going there. If enough of us summon the serious power within ourselves to say “Not on my watch!!” then we will overcome this.

Just to be clear, this is what they did in the German concentration camps. I don’t know who the people are who are perpetrating a hostile takeover of the US govt & the principles this country has stood for – I can’t believe it’s just one man – but it must be stopped. It must be.

Of course I am. Who else do you know who says “We’ve got to feed the babies, we’ve got to feed the babies, we’ve got to feed the babies” 1000 times a day?

This is what has happened to us. And we must do everything in our power to change it. If we give Trump a second term, there will be more and not less of this. This is not “fear mongering”; it’s truth telling.
