🧵*Content below is my opinion.
1/ We now live in a world in which our mobile communication devices can be instruments of assassination. Meanwhile, SCOTUS ruled presidents have criminal immunity.

2/ Let that sink in.
As Israel's Mossad recently demonstrated, even lower tech pocket pagers can be made to explode and kill its targets.
I certainly do not sympathize with Hezbollah terrorist murderers being killed.
But guess what? Technology now makes ALL of us vulnerable.

3/ Nearly all of us rely on smart phones. They're not just a luxury anymore.
Many of us like myself, have to be easily accessible 24/7 both professionally and personally.
So what if a depraved autocrat wannabe with dementia has the power to assassinate any of us via our phones?

4/ This is something all citizens of the world must now consider when voting for their heads of state. At least those of us who live in countries where voting rights is still protected.
In the United States, SCOTUS ruled presidents are immune from criminal acts while in office.

5/ Hypothetically, what if Donald Trump seizes power and determines liberal Jewish activists like me should be eliminated?
Suppose they see my history dating back to my teens of registering voters to promote economic and social justice? Would they opt to kill me via my phone?

6/ It's not science fiction.
Simply put, the party that supports a self proclaimed "Black Nazi" such as Mark Robinson for governor in NC who said, "some people need killing" should not be entrusted with this sort of power.
NOBODY should of course have this kind of power.

7/ I have no doubt that Donald Trump's viceroys such as Stephen Miller would leverage the "Deep State" they claim to despise to assassinate anyone they don't like through technology as Mossad recently did with Hezbollah.
No doubt at all. Neither should any of you.

8/ Elon Musk would eagerly turn over data from this platform to target people deemed "undesirable" whether it's doctors performing abortions, LGBTQ+ activists or artists and authors they want silenced.
Likewise, I have no doubt companies like Verizon would fold like cheap suits.

9/ I much prefer to focus on the positive alternative for hope, freedom and aspiration offered by #HarrisWalz.
However, we must also remain urgently cognizant of potential consequences should Trump successfully seize power and impose minority rule.

10/ Thats why even as I endeavor to go beyond doom scrolling regarding #TrumpsProject2025 and illustrate there is a better way, I also posted the below thread on August 24th.
Recent Actions in GA and NE for example are all about what I posted that day.

11/ Between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021, enough institutional guardrails remained to prevent Trump from liquidating our democratic republic.
But it was a damn close call. Far closer than the general public even today truly understands or realizes.

12/ If this modern GOP led by homicidal racist misogynistic grifters returns to power, there will be no guardrails. Certainly these folks will not fear any criminal prosecution.
Anything from your mobile phone exploding to mass deportations of your neighbors is on the table.

13/ #HarrisWalz are happy warriors and that's a damn overdue tonic for our a public suffering from clusterf**k fatigue.
However, we must not be complacent or succumb to delusional exuberance. Lives depend on us activists running hard through the tape.

14/ As I posted in the below thread, MAGA is a low IQ/EQ social movement led by evil people dominated by their "lizard brains" or what I categorize as having a dangerously high Lizard Quotient ("LQ"). As they become more desperate they get more dangerous.

15/ I'm 55, not wealthy, have some health issues and don't have the energy I used to. I work 60 hrs a week in Financial Crimes Compliance and have an elderly mom that requires my attention.
But I still make time to engage & persuade as well as make strategic campaign donations.

16/ I hope one day merely voting will be enough. But I repeat, we now live in a world in which autocratic leaders can kill us with our phones.
Each of us has a responsibility to our country, and humanity itself to be a "Democracy Multiplier."
43 days to go folks. #DoSomething
