reading a book about iran. apparently the gov there is run by a Supreme Leader who has conducted mass deportations, sent forces into cities, uses state licenses to control media, labeled protestors "enemies," slapped tariffs on industries, and is supported by religious extremists. didn't know this.
Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵:
These protests are important b/c:
1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.
And, critically, NOT move on BEFORE doing this. (cf: Nixon)
Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far
What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure
The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy
An ICE agent inside an airport, leaning against a pole and fucking around on his phone. He's next to a window, which looks out at a huge line of people waiting to even get inside the terminal to stand in a security line.

The moralizing, the deficit-hawking, the so-called conservatives have all been mere excuses, marketing fluff to get people on board. Cruelty has been the plan all along.

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%.
when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because *IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US*

We have been saying the same thing for 16 years, and it's about damn time our elected officials hear our message and change the tax code before our entire country, economy, and democracy collapses under the weight of its failure to reign in oligarchic levels of wealth.
Despicable

Wow.
There is a name for governments that ask collaborators to report on citizens who criticize the regime…sensitive crybabies. And fascists, sure, but fragile widdle snowflakes especially.
we will settle for nothing less than the total abolition of ICE and the return of our kidnapped neighbors

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:
The dementia is not advancing nearly fast enough to save this country.
I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before.
Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.
holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

Sens Jon Husted (R-OH) & Bernie Moreno (R-OH) both got big payments from Les Wexner and then on cue started to disparage investigations into the Epstein files. This is how the corrupt system works.

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
