150 billionaire families have spent $1.9 billion on the 2024 election so far. It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash. We must overturn Citizens United.

How do fascists derail democracy? If you study history (or read Project 2025), it’s almost like there’s a recipe book: goose the economy, abolish unions, privatize what’s public, win the support of tycoons. But at what cost? Mesmerize your base so they don’t care. Blind them with your fear-mongering, lies, and promises. Fascism needs a bold leader…the only one who can fix things…a dictator who has the vision and expects others to follow (including women…whether they like it or not). I believe that history is indeed speaking to us — and those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it. To learn how fascism hijacked Germany a century ago, just watch this five-minute clip. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching. This is an excerpt from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at ricksteves.com/fascism. When I produced it back in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high…and this is very real.

Expanding Medicaid is the right thing to do for Kansas. It would: 💰 Bolster our local economies 🏥 Support our rural hospitals 👩🏾‍⚕️ Strengthen our health care workforce

Voting is a fundamental part of our democracy, and we're already seeing record turnout in Kansas. If you haven't done so yet, plan to cast your ballot to ensure your voice is heard in this election.

Lessie Benningfield Randle, a 109 year old survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, voted for Kamala Harris on Friday. She was born when women didn't have the right to vote. theblackwallsttimes.com/2024/11/01/tul…

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.” — Paris Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo ft.com/content/8fbad7…

Today’s conviction of a former Kentucky detective for his role in the raid that took #BreonnaTaylor’s life is a long-awaited moment of accountability. While it cannot restore Breonna to her family, it represents a crucial step in the pursuit of justice and a reminder that no one should be above the law. Breonna’s life mattered, and her legacy is a call to keep pushing for a system that values every life equally. Let us keep pressing forward—until justice, dignity, and safety are a reality for all. #JusticeForBreonna #Accountability #SayHerName

This video is incredible. Everyone should RETWEET it so the whole *world* sees it.

Went to see Bill T. Jones Still/Here last night. Saw it 30 years ago... an epic production for each generation... @vurnt22 Sounds great!

Wow. Lucas Kunce just destroyed Josh Hawley on the debate stage. You need to watch this.

Trump’s dirty election night trick doesn’t work if you know it’s coming. Let me explain.

@JimmyFitzner Check out Eugene Oregon

Anyone know of a city that has a Bus Rapid Transit lane in the *center lane* of a major two way thoroughfare? Trying to imagine some different possibilities for the future of Independence Ave.

For the first time in 114 years, biologists from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have observed a fall-run Chinook salmon returning to spawn in the Klamath Basin in Oregon, after dam removal.
