Upset over being convicted on 34 felony counts in his hush-money trial, Donald Trump is floating the idea of imprisoning his enemies if he’s elected to the White House.

I know I’m an old white guy & people of color are not a single bloc. But, it astounds me that any person of color can vote for a , let alone .

NEVER vote for a Republican.

They don't have to nominate him.

They have a choice. There could be emergency meetings scrambling, an effort to save face.

This is a choice and it's a bad one except as a cynical and increasingly desperate play for power.

That's why I tell #bluemaga to try to work on their #maga friends and family instead of beating up on Arab and Muslim Americans in the #abandonbiden camp. The #gqp has a pretty easy choice to make. For some of us on the left, supporting #genocide is a non-starter. If you want to lower the stakes, then lower the stakes.

(I say this, of course, knowing they'll never do it, so it's #WestAbdullah2024 for me) #uspol #uspolitics

That sentiment has spread throughout a that once championed America’s values abroad…

It just published its June 2024 update:

  • 37 companies kept their promise
  • 1,794 companies did not, donating $145.5 million to the "Sedition Caucus" since January 6, 2021.

’s post-conviction comment about a “breaking point” follows a long line of suggestive comments. The thrust is unmistakable. Before the 2016 election, Marco Rubio warned about it. Ted Cruz warned about it. Nikki Haley warned about it. Rick Perry even previewed it in an eerily prescient way.

This chart showing how has sown doubt about US over the past three presidential elections should ring warning bells. 🚩 🔔 🔔 🚩

During and after the 2020 election, Trump’s accusations of a rigged election led to the of the attack on the US Capitol.

What will Trump’s lead to this time?

    At a time of rising authoritarianism, and when U.S. politics seem mired in chaos, it’s worth looking back at how societies centuries ago defined bad governance:
