On #stochasticterrorism. For years, it's been Trump's plan -- promote violence without saying when/where. His words -- "stand back and stand by" -- were odd enough that his team feigns plausible deniability, but his adherents know exactly what he meant #debates 1/
We shouldn't be afraid to say Trump incites terror. Don't just say violence. That misses the point. It is violence for political purposes, which is terrorism.
Stochastic is awkward, but here is @Dictionarycom definition after I used it on air

I've often sounded the fool using the term, but a look back. Words matter, and we call it what it is.

Nothing about his words Tuesday was shocking. Something happened; still figuring it out. It was a crossing of line that Biden set up; Trump moved from dog whistle to plain terror incitement (trust me, I know he's long been there) in front of all. And liberating in odd way. 4/4

GETTING READY. I've been privileged to assist across this country as a subject matter expert in protecting the rights of ALL Americans to vote and so I have some transparency on what is being done. It might calm folks a bit. A thread on anticipating the sh--show ahead. 1/
Each security plan has essentially the same goals: 1)mitigate risks to personnel and property; 2)a system to identify risks, determine their veracity, and communicate internally and externally; 3)dedicated team members who are focused on threats only and can communicate/decide quickly; 4)keep focus on GOTV. 2/
There are prevention protocols you would expect (doors locked, lighting, videos) and outreach to law enforcement early and often to anticipate threats to offices, personnel, and polling locations all while allowing organizers to not get distracted and to focus on GOTC. 3/

This site is not our friend, on election day in particular. As I work with states and state party officials, I give them this advice: train your teams to focus. GOTV is going to be hit with disinformation, rumors, and the craziness with only one goal in mind: distraction. 1/
Violence is a law enforcement issue; legal shenanigans are for the courts. But GOTV is ripe for the same crap we saw during the hurricanes for the purpose of impacting how campaigns understand what is going on on the ground. My take @TheAtlantic 2/

Want to get a state party or campaign leader to lose focus? Throw into this and other platforms some rumors that take time and effort to quell, get staff worked up, and the presidential campaign headquarters bearing down. See @hadas_gold story @cnn 3/

As universities prepare for graduation, there are 3 guiding ("O") rules for safety planning:
1)Outlets: Provide outlets for student protests
2)Off-Ramps: Many on X/the Hill talk tough, but a good plan has various levels of de-escalation;
3)Outcomes: Then get to consequences; 1/
To start, I am embarrassed for commentators who know better wanting to silence all viewpoints with tough talk; for First Amendment advocates who loosely equate Palestinian protest as pro-Hamas or anti-semitic; for those who called Biden's comments his Charlottesville moment. 2/
I say embarrassed because I do not deny the anti-semitism (nor do I deny the Islamaphobia or Anti-Arab sentiment within Jewish movement). I condemn both. But if you think this is all just anti-semitism that must be quashed by force, you are missing the story. And you know it. 3/

A proposal; It is good Biden is talking about the threat to our democracy coming from the violence Trump promises. We have a whole department created to address terrorism. And it would be nice to hear a plan about protecting our homeland security. DOJ is not built for this. 1/
The WH cannot talk of a real threat and then sit back and hope the voters solve the problem. They may and still Trump was a menace. That was true in 2020. He didn't stop. 2/
What I'm proposing is a very transparent planning process that engages local and state governments who manage elections. This plan would provide transparency on threats, a crisis response capacity, recommended rules of deployment for public safety resources, 3/

PAY ATTENTION. I wait to talk to people I trust about how to interpret an event like Tropical Storm #Hilary . So .... reliable folks are now sounding alarms. There is simply nowhere for the water to go. Severe flooding in Vegas? Rain in Death Valley? "Impacts are unknown." 1/
The best to be said now is listen to local news, don't wade out in water, and set your emergency alerts on your phone (flash flood warnings) - if you don’t know how just download the fema app. There is a lot of crap out there now. Follow
