They tried to kill this woman because she annoyed them and they are charging because she lived. Her being alive is an assault on them.
They’re not just zip-tying senior citizens in wheelchairs.
Republicans are zip-tying the truth in order to get their billionaires’ budget bill passed.
Tell a friend. 😡
Newspaper article stating "Families in Gaza eating grass and animal feed as doctors wit ess record levels of malnutrition". The article features a photo of a malnourished child, photographed in their home in Gaza on 11th May.
Israel is the most depraved regime on earth.
Lying day after day and starving an entire population to death. A few miles away, Israeli kids eat fast food.
Many children can no longer even walk due to dizziness and weakness from famine.
Supported by Western governments, it's unforgivable.
If you want your kid to be an atheist, make them go to church and read the bible.
Everyone seems very worried about "Gosh, well what do we tell the transphobic people to get them to vote for Democrats?"
Tell them to get the fuck over it. Tell them, straight to their faces, "I feel embarrassed for you that this is a thing you are whining about."
the stupidity is GLORIOUS
OMG
10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.
Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.
9/ The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry.
As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears.
8/ What could Trump demand as part of a quiet loyalty pledge?
Public shows of support from executives for all his economic policy. Contributions to his political efforts. Promises to police employees’ support for his political opposition.
7/ But the private sector also plays a rule to protect democracy. Independent industry has power.
The tariffs are Trump’s tool to erode that independence. Now, one by one, every industry or company will need to pledge loyalty to Trump in order to get sanctions relief.
6/ Healthy democracies rely on an independent legal profession to maintain the rule of law, independent universities to guard objective truth and provide forums for dissent to authority, and independent state/local government to counterbalance a powerful federal government.
5/ Trump knows that he can weaken (and maybe destroy) democracy by using spending and taxation in the same way.
He is using access to government funds to bully universities, law firms and state and local governments into loyalty pledges.
4/ British kings used taxation to reward loyalty and punish dissent.
Our own revolution was spurred by the King’s use of heavy taxation of the colonies to punish our push for self governance.
The King’s message was simple: stop protesting and I’ll stop taxing.
3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature.
Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.
2/ This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense.
That’s because they don’t. They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
Fascism in America will manifest as a series of atrocities viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until there's a pounding on your door.
