They’re doing to America what they did to Christianity | Bill McKibben Trump’s wrecking-ball approach to America has a precedent: the evangelical perversion of Jesus’s message of radical love to one of hate and aggression

Rightwing MAGA Christianity has about as much relation to the gospels as MAGA politics does to the Constitution.

(🧵) This thread from a retired journalism professor who helped usher in the era of metajournalism in the 2010s—and has written a book on the relationship between Trump and Epstein as part of his NYT-bestselling Proof Series—explains how to report properly on the Trump-Epstein Scandal.

Here we go.

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

Have I told you lately how much I love you? 💕 Seriously, what would America do without you?

The plots of disaster movies that portray the end of civilization often begin with high-level Government Officials ignoring the warnings of Scientists.

One of several lesson learned from the 2.5 hour @Netflix Documentary — Don’t Look Up (2021).

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Finally, this concern has hit the mainstream.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Stipulating that this math is going to be wrong, we have upended the government's ability to function for... at most... and probably much less than... 2.2% of the overall federal budget.

CDC denies help for lead poisoning in Milwaukee schools due to layoffs The CDC rejected a request for help "due to the complete loss" of their lead poisoning experts.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie).

Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Hmmmmmm…. Yesterday, Marjorie Taylor Greene said that people panicking over tariffs are "losers and failures."

Today, she disclosed over a dozen stock purchases, purchasing hundred of thousands of numerous stocks.

She bought when the market was deeply red.

Hmmmmmmmm…..

This is FELONY INSIDER TRADING via MARKET MANIPULATION intended to terrorize Americans while creating a secret environment for billionaires to enrich themselves by knowing when to buy and sell to maximize profits.

Once a crook, always a crooks.

AND THIS IS AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE!

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Pls don’t repost this or Trump will expode his depends!!

For no apparent reason, been thinking abt how last year's Nobel Prize in economics went to the folks who showed why freer, open societies are more likely to prosper. Pulled this slide from his Nobel address. www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2024...

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Truer words were never spoken.

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become.

I was wrong.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Even on gilligan's island they listened to professor, not the millionaire

I’m sure it will be fine having literally no one left who knows what they’re doing at the organization that {checks notes} protects our most sensitive secrets
