More than once, sheer luck prevented Trump’s efforts at overturning the election from finding traction, @bartongellman writes. With a small change in circumstance, momentum might have broken his way. on.theatln.tc/xfbCQcH

I get it, but some of us just spent the last 2 years taking stances that have led to repeated attempts on our lives - for demanding guaranteed healthcare, immigrant justice, etc. Sorry if this lacks empathy, but it’s a privilege if this is their first time. They can do one vote.
Crow is right. Numerous House Rs have received death threats in the past week, and I know for a fact several members *want* to impeach but fear casting that vote could get them or their families murdered. Not spinning or covering for anyone. Just stating the chilling reality.

Corollary: If I have power, when I am willing to step to the side and shine the spotlight on others, I make everyone else around me much more powerful as well. @alaina @drnatalie #allies #whiteprivilege #maleprivilege

For contrast, this is how the National Guard defended the Lincoln Memorial during BLM protests.

Majorities of House Republicans have now supported, seriatim, the positions that (1) red states can tell blue states to change election results, (2) the VP decides who won the election, and (3) Congress can veto the voters' choice of president on January 6.

Very significant rejection of a bypass-the-vote scenario I described in late September, when the same PA GOP leaders told me it was a live option. This reflects the failure of Trump’s fabricated fraud allegations to take hold. Democracy is winning. So far.

And Chuck Shumer on the Senate floor recommended people read this RT @bartongellman: Smart questions from @AdrienneLaF in our conversation today about “The Election That Could Break America.” bgell.me/3i2Hhjt
This is kind of cool. Audio version of my new piece, The Election That Could Break America,” read by a professional actor with a much better voice than mine. @TheAtlantic
An important piece from @TheAtlantic and @bartongellman on what could happen on Nov 3rd. Please read/listen. My narration available via @audmapp or find text online. And... #vote share.audm.com/share/atlanti…

One image from @bartongellman's excellent and terrifying piece is a cause of mild optimism. He describes election wonks as intelligence analysts. As a former intel-analyst it got me thinking about how merely exposing plots can sometimes discourage attackers and prepare defenders.

It was so cool to have @alan_gellman on the show. He's been named by Business Insider as one of the top 50 innovative CMOs in the world! If you're an executive who wants to improve their impact as a leader, you'll want to hear from Alan. bit.ly/3fo6a8C #CredibilityNation

So beautiful to see the powerful art that has sprung up across Oakland these past few weeks and to listen to Black and brown residents react to it. #greatwaytospendfathersday @ Oakland, California instagram.com/p/CBtkwL2JUP8/… – at Oakland, CA

Thank you, Jennifer Paylor, People engineer @IBM, for your @WBECSummit teaching on humility. I especially love this Nelson Mandela quote.
