   Let's make sure every Latino and every Puerto Rican sees these tweets and video clips, coming from the trump hate-fest at Madison Square Garden.

     AOC: "Organizing ask: I need every Boricua on here to take that rally clip and drop it in your family WhatsApps and group chats"

     Let's do it! If we stay quiet, the forces of hate and fascism will win.

     None of this is accidental, all of it is planned. It is not an appeal to Independents. It is simple raw red meat for the base and the base alone.

     Posting a tweet by Geraldo Rivera was not on my Bingo card, but here he is, seriously miffed at the naked racism of the MAGA party. He had endorsed Kamala Harris earlier this month. Let's hope he is able to open a few more eyes.

     • Kamala Harris News Group 2.0

     Let's give 'em hell for their naked racism and dehumanization of Puerto Ricans and Latinos (and women and PoC and LGBTQ).

     Let's pick up our phones and talk/write to our friends and family and get them to the polls, in case they are not motivated to vote. Let's shout from the rooftops about the dystopian nightmare planned for us by the MAGA party. Let's GOTV.

     Silence is not an option.

     As Jeff Sharlet explained in the previous post, this is standard operating procedure for the trump campaign and the MAGA base - throw out racist red meat to the base, then claim it was a joke and issue a wink-wink apology. The base meanwhile is wallowing in the racism and laughing all the way to their dens.
