    .@elonmusk is attacking our board one by one. First @Kasparov63; now @AVindman. The thing they both have in common: bravery & a desire to do the right thing. We’re proud to stand by them & hope Elon goes after dictators with the same zeal he has for RDI board members.

    What separates a democracy from a dictatorship is the peaceful transition of power.

    Elon, don’t project your insecurity about your Twitter financing on us. We're a 501c3 so our finances are public, but drop us an email & we'll shoot you our 990. If you'd like to help us fight dictators & support democracy in the US, Ukraine and worldwide:

    “Democracy is the worst form of gov't, except for all the others.” It doesn’t come without warts & rough edges. But they should be celebrated & smoothed out, because it’s all we've got. What does democracy mean to you? Join us and @stephenfry for the #RenewDemocracy challenge!

    You might hold on to the delusion that everything will be fine in November. That this is America. The votes will be counted. And life will carry on as normal. Think again.

    Don't look away. This isn't normal. This isn't democracy. This is a failed coup.

    "When you hear United States officials saying those [pro-Russia] things, what does it sound like to your ear?" "I can't believe my ears. I grew up in a world where America was a formidable force." RDI Chairman @Kasparov63 on the explosion of Russian propaganda in US politics:

    We’re honored to announce that Lt. Col. @AVindman is joining our Board. Alex is a true fighter for democracy. As he said, “This is America. #hererightmatters.” So together, we will work to unify and de-radicalize America. We hope you’ll join us as well! rdi.org/newsletter/

    Some claim that a winner MUST be declared on Election Day. That is a dangerous lie.

    Rep. @AdamKinzinger's essential work on the Jan 6 Committee cost him his political career. For putting his country before his party, Kinzinger is a true Hero of Democracy.
