My new book—FLUKE: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters—is out now! Linking chaos theory to humanity, it explains why our lives—and societies—are swayed by random, accidental, arbitrary forces, and how to better live with that knowledge.


The fact that this election is close is forever a stain on America. How much of a stain, we’ll soon find out. But an authoritarian felon, sexual abuser, who already incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a failed plot to steal an election…should never have been viable.


Trump already straight up lying and laying the groundwork to reject the election result is itself further proof he must be kept out of any real power. He’s an authoritarian demagogue and will do everything he can to torch America’s institutions to save himself.

If you don't want this anti-vaxx, bear corpse stealing, whale head chainsawing clown to be in charge of US health policy, vote for @KamalaHarris

If you want to see me in Washington, DC, VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP. 🇺🇸

The most hilarious clip I’ve seen on #USAElections2024 😂 #polls

From The Onion

When Trump won in 2016: 3 out of 10 Americans voted Trump 3 out of 10 voted Clinton 4 out of 10 didn’t vote Remind everyone you know to go vote! And volunteer if you can. One day to protect our democracy.


America Decides: first woman or first felon?

“Institutions at nearly every level of American society failed during Trump’s first term, which is a big reason a second Trump term is even possible,” writes @GrahamDavidA A reelected President Trump will face a system “that is already in dire condition”: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…


America will make history tomorrow no matter what, either electing its first woman president or its first felon president.

Here's why I do this. What propels you?


This is very funny

Republicans are in such a panic that they are literally emailing themselves imaginary polling results and passing them off as legitimate. @RyanAFournier you’re a hack.

Amazing -- moments after denouncing Biden on Meet the press for his "garbage" comment, Doug Burgum completely changes his tune when Welker plays him a clip of Trump calling Harris supporters "scum" and "absolute garbage." "Most Americans don't have time to listen to this soap…

Women are going to protect the country from Donald Trump, whether he likes it or not.


Honestly, this election is like a giant social experiment to test human nature, run between someone who routinely taps into the darkest sides of humanity and someone who is running a campaign literally with the central messages of unity, shared values, and lifting each other up.

Trump: "Guys like Adam Schifty Schiff, these are corrupt people. Watermelon head. He's got the smallest neck I've ever seen. I don't know how the hell it can hold up that enlarged watermelon head. What an ugly guy both inside and out."



This is amazing:

We hold children to a higher standard than this. He’s just a terrible person. It’s really that simple.

Trump: "Guys like Adam Schifty Schiff, these are corrupt people. Watermelon head. He's got the smallest neck I've ever seen. I don't know how the hell it can hold up that enlarged watermelon head. What an ugly guy both inside and out."



One hell of a contrast between the closing message of the Harris campaign and the hate and bigotry from Madison Square Garden from the Trump campaign.


I love this dog. What a regal beast!

Ask yourself: what would happen if Kamala Harris did this? Yes. You saw right. This is Trump on stage at a rally, pretending to perform a sex-act on a microphone. This is not normal. Trump is disgusting, unhinged and unfit to represent the United States. Vote him out.
