Just because Trump is willing to sell his country for money, he assumes everyone is willing to do the same.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The UNFCCC in this list is a *treaty*, not an org. Unclear if a POTUS can unilaterally withdraw without congressional approval. What is clear: there is no way we will be able to join again, given that ratification is a very high bar to meet.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.”

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance. Welcome to the clicktatorship. 🧵

If you're writing 1800 words about how we failed to account for January 6 and DON'T mention SCOTUS (particularly if you're comparing with Brazil) or impeachment, you're simply doing propaganda for the GOP.

This war is completely illegitimate: 60% of Americans disapprove of going to war with Venezuela—74% disapprove war without Congressional approval. Only 19% are in favor. The people oppose it. Our representatives didn’t approve it. Trump should be removed for this unconstitutional war.

If Congress, the media, the people, and the international community do not stand up against Trump's illegal actions in Venezuela, he will do it again and again. At this point, he should be treated like Putin.

So a lot of the charges against Maduro are either cocaine importation, which Trump pardoned Hernandez for, or owning machine guns, which is a constitutionally protected right in the US

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
