Everyone should be prepared for the fact that whereas with Iraq, anti-war protesters were smeared as traitorous terror lovers, this time we will also be smeared as bigoted anti-semites.

Colonial extraction and unequal exchange have shaped two centuries of North-South inequality. A thread on the new study written with @gatonievas.bsky.social [A thread 1/8🧵]

As Trump’s popularity drops and backlash mounts, he will turn even more authoritarian. The techniques he’s tested on immigrants will be turned on American citizens.

Centrists have caused a profound shift among the base of the Dem party through their cowardice in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism. In January Gallup found a plurality of Dems wanted the party to be more moderate, a new poll finds that the majority now want the party to be more progressive.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about coal miners. His admin is destroying mine safety and ending black lung protections so that more young miners can slowly suffocate from this horrible disease. youtu.be/7XHir3o1SLY

There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!

Would require a significant investment and money but would be a great idea.

The Supreme Court has effectively sentenced more innocent people to be disappeared into Bukele's torture dungeon. Disgraceful capitulation to fascism.

It’s hard for me to hold in my head the breadth of the destruction, chaos and outright evil from this administration. Trump is fully backing a genocide and threatening with arrest or deportation those who oppose it.

@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social wondering if I could interview you?

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

This person sicced a fascist government on a student protester and is now trying to nuance troll his way out of culpability.

MAHA UPDATE: the Trump admin just made a lawyer for Abbott Labs head of food safety. He (unsuccessfully) defended them from charges that premies became catastrophically ill from their formula. Same company caused a formula shortage when they shut down a plant for unsanitary conditions.

Don’t worry everyone! The famously selfless rich and powerful are just looking out for your best interest. Sure they’re crashing the econ, raising prices, gutting Medicaid, funding crypto scams and letting white collar criminals endlessly rob you but trust them, it is all for your own good!

The ideological glue that holds Trump 2.0 together is literally just outright theft. Whether it’s taking Ukraine’s minerals, Elon stealing multi billion $ contracts or Trump forcing taxpayers to backstop crypto billionaires bags.

I think Elon's threats of funding primary challenges against any non-compliant GOP has may have fully ended the era of Tea Party/Freedom Caucus rebellion. Massie the last man standing on being an actually ideologically committed deficit hawk. Everyone else will just do as they're told by Trump/Musk.

When they say “free market” they mean monopolies, union busting, govt handouts for giant corporations and the ability for oligarchs to rob ordinary people with impunity.

GOP comes together to pass a monstrous budget that will pave the way for tax cuts for the rich at the expense of Medicaid and SNAP. Congrats guys. Way to stick it to the working class and serve your billionaire masters.

Keep up the pressure it's working!

Can’t say I’m surprised. Joy, Alex and Ayman (and @mehdirhasan before) were all critical of Israel and now they’ve all been canceled. No dissent from the pro-genocide consensus will be tolerated.

I’ve been warning that the Tech Bros want the S.F. Presidio for a “freedom city”. Now this. 👇 1/

Doctor and medical scientist here. My quality project at the VA, planned for a year, was a virtual telemedicine clinic for *all* vets, but because it included services for specific minorities, it was killed by this regime after they took power. This is literally happening.

Elon just fired workers at the board investigating Tesla for safety issues. Robber baron running the country as his own personal plaything.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Washington Generals ass political party

Of course they are. They’re cowards. Plus, they watched conspiracy pilled psychos storm their workplace calling for death to the VP and then the dear leader made a big show of pardoning them. The possibility of violence has already been demonstrated for anyone who might step out of line.

Declaring that there are only 2 sexes ignores that nature is full of variations that don't fit neatly in either box. It is the literal opposite of "biological truth."

SpaceX engineers brought into the very agency that has been investigating SpaceX. wrd.cm/415YyRd

He’s not making up: news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/... Is this really what y’all voted for? 🫤 💰

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Blanket firing of all probationary employees regardless of skill, combined w the deferred resignation program is the opposite of "merit." The deferred resignation program is most likely to attract the highest value employees who have lucrative private sector offers and will be hardest to replace.

Trump and Elon's cuts are already killing people. www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

Elon actually made the best case I heard for Kamala which is that if she won he’d be thrown in prison.

Every one of these spineless Dem lEAdeRs complaining about “the groups” has got to be primaried and destroyed. They are more angry at the voters calling their offices than the robber baron stealing our country. Outrageous.

Jeffries and other dems are finally getting angry and fighting back…against grassroots democrats who are flooding their office w calls to stand up to Trump/Elon’s coup. outrageous www.axios.com/2025/02/12/d...

All these MAGA pretending to care about corruption and don't have shit to say about Trump making foreign bribery legal and exempting his cabinet from anti-corruption rules.

A judge has ruled that the Trump Admin is ALREADY defying court orders. Next phase of the crisis has arrived.

More Americans are learning a language on Duolingo than in the U.S. public school system.

The head of Coinbase is very happy the CFPB is getting nuked. I’m sure he’s only looking out for you and the best interest of your (soon to be his) money. It’s ok, if he robs you, you can complain to…ah, I’m sure it’ll be fine

No one should be surprised. Vance has previously announced that he believes the courts should be ignored when inconvenient and stripping power from the courts is also part of Yarvin's butterfly revolution playbook. They're going for the full tech authoritarian takeover.

Mystery Trump shit coin whale appears to have had inside knowledge. They bought in hours before it was announced, then cashed out more than $100 million in profit helping to tank the price of the coin.

Richest man on Earth is working to legalize elite crimes while stealing your social security.

I like how the guys who are telling us to stop being snowflakes over a guy who was backing eugenics and “Indian hate” as recently as 2 months ago are the same ppl who had a multi day meltdown including deportation calls over a Bishop encouraging them to treat immigrants and trans ppl with humanity.

Wow. I read this article when it was first published but that’s quite an update. “Late Friday, after this article appeared, Booz Allen said it had ‘removed’ a subcontractor who wrote the warning and would seek to retract or amend it.”

Robber baron cheering that he and his buddies can scam more people. Sick shit.

"A disruption in federal funding has imperiled the work of community groups that run rape crisis centers and programs aimed at preventing sexual violence." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Here's what's happened, if you're just tuning in: 1. Musk ally Tom Krause told the Treasury career staff to cut off USAID payments 2. The career staffer resisted, saying doing so is illegal 3. The career staffer was ousted by Trump team 4. Krause has now been installed as head of the payments system

Of course they're gonna bring the eugenicist back. Was shocked he was fired in the first place.

UPDATE: The Vice President wants the racist DOGE staffer reinstated 👇🏽 One of his comments was “normalize Indian hate” (Vance’s wife is Indian-American) www.huffpost.com/entry/doge-s...

Nobody told Kanye 50% of twitter are nazis now watching him tweet is like a standard Tuesday.
