The Washington Post · RFK Jr. set for major food, health role in potential Trump administrationBy Dan Diamond

#LizCheney responded on Friday morning in a post: “This is how #dictators destroy free nations.”

#Trump’s #violent hypothetical came as he has recently intensified the dark & #threatening language he uses toward his political opponents. Trump, whose #lies that he won the 2020 election spurred some of his supporters to storm the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, once again on Thurs referred to a pernicious “#EnemyWithin” that needed to be addressed.

#Trump Attacks #LizCheney Using Menacing #Violent Imagery

In an onstage interview in #Arizona w/ #TuckerCarlson, Trump suggested #Cheney should be sent into the line of fire.

“Let’s put her w/a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face.”

The New York Times · Trump Assails Liz Cheney and Imagines Guns ‘Shooting at Her’By Michael Gold

There is no exaggeration when I say that the #2024election is a winner takes all election.

Everyone in power in both parties knows it.

Everyone paying attention from #corporate board rooms knows it.

Here are things that happen if #Democrats do nothing after winning.

If #Trump loses, he is going to jail. There will be multiple massive lawsuits all over the country against Trump and the #RNC.

#Trump2024 has not been paying its bills. The RNC is going to be broke. They won't be able to finance opposition any longer.

This is going to force every #Republican into panic mode. This is how we got new #political parties in the past.

Even if #Trump is somehow not in jail, his brand will be destroyed.

Meanwhile, the increasingly #Progressive #Democratic party is going to actively try to consolidate power.

If Trump wins?

He is going to engage in mass arrests and deportations. Weaponize the justice department and go after his enemies.

He will fix the 2026 #election and ensure that he has a 2/3 majority in the #house and #senate.

He will expand and overstep #executive authority and turn #POTUS into a king. The #SupremeCourt will bless him, and any notion of #SCOTUS checking the #President will be dead.

#America's experiment with #Democracy will be over. True #American #Fascism will begin.

There will be no glorious #revolution. Where are your guns? Underground network? Independent food production to fund a guerilla army? Water?

The best you can hope for is a corporate takeover from #PeterThiel. (I'm pretty sure this is his plan.)

There will not be any more #progress. Everyone will be trying to survive. No one to petition.

This is not #FAFO time.

#Election2024 is playing for keeps. This is it. There are not going to be any more chances.

Continued thread

In the lower #courts, #judges can serve for life. So the more a president appoints, the more he or she can shape the country. #SCOTUS hears only about 80 cases per year, meaning that lower courts are often the final arbiter on many issues. They set #precedent on #criminal #justice, #bankruptcy proceedings, #corporate disputes & #antitrust enforcement, & on whether federal #laws & rules are #constitutional.

Continued thread

#Republicans seem more likely to control the #Senate next year. If they do, they can block #a President #KamalaHarris from filling a vacancy, much as they did Barack #Obama in 2016. “If he were re-elected, he’d probably get to appoint one if not two members to the #UnitedStates #SupremeCourt,” Harris said of #Trump last week. She did not say how many appointees she may get if she wins.

Continued thread

#Trump appointed 3 #SCOTUS justices as president. If he wins, he may get more appointments than #KamalaHarris would have.
In recent years, judges have retired in time to let the president they prefer fill their seats. The oldest justices today— #ClarenceThomas, 76, & #Samuel Alito, 74—are #Republican appointees. If they retired during a 2nd Trump admin, he could choose young replacements to cement #conservative control of the court for decades.

On Tues, Americans will elect the next #POTUS & hundreds of #Congress members. In doing so, voters will also shape the 3rd branch: the #judiciary.

Federal #judges — whom the #president picks & the #Senate confirms — have become even more powerful in recent yrs as a #polarized Congress has failed to pass major #laws on many issues. As a result, the judiciary has shaped #policy on #abortion, #immigration, #guns, #VotingRights & more.

@skry I live in a mid-sized city in California that is 75% Latino. Our fruit and other produce are the life blood of our economy. They are shipped throughout the US and the world after being proudly grown and harvested by farm workers with roots in Mexico and Central America.
I can hardly bring myself to imagine what will happen to our community if mass deportations take place.

#ImmigrantRights Advocates Are Preparing for “The Worst” Under #Trump.

They resisted Trump’s policies the first time. Now, they’re gearing up for another battle.

On the evening of Jan 27, 2017, then President Trump signed an executive order to, ostensibly, “protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals.”
