When they betray everyone. Not if. When. The Dem ability to see what's coming is nonexistent. We The People have been betrayed and we won't forget it. Stop apologizing for giving into a fascist dictator.

THREAD 🧵: Yesterday was the municipal election in Pennsylvania where we chose judges and local politicians.

Republicans got their asses kicked, even in red counties.

Americans are stressed out, broke, and pissed the fuck off - and yesterday was a loud referendum on the MAGA junta.

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here.

The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration.

How? 1/

We're the natural heirs of fighting fascism and the descendants of all the Rosie the Riveters who broke free during the war and stayed free. Of course we're reading it and breaking rec algorithms. We quietly rule the world anyway.

I'm so outraged that he's taking choice away from millions of people. I should still qualify because I'm a type 2 diabetic now. But my health shouldn't have to depend on the whims of a man with holes in his brain.

One of the donors mentioned in this piece, David Chesnoff, is notably also the lawyer for Alexander Smirnov— the Israeli-American FBI informant indicted for lying about Bidens to FBI.

I’ve written about Smirnov’s ties to Trump associates twice. The DOJ recently attempted to let Smirnov out/

He's a true patriot. The EO they're doing this under is illegal. EOs CANNOT create new law. It's not illegal to burn the flag.

This is what is so bad about the "distraction" discourse.

There are no distractions. It's all bad, and it's all part of Trump's desire to be a dictator and the Republicans' Project 2025.

The President of the United States needed 7 babysitters to not sell out global freedom and democratic values at the White House. There was talk of progress but it looks like just another photo opp.

Meanwhile, Trump floated canceling elections during wartime and declared mail voting to be fradulent.

Of course he did. He needed new instructions because it was going the way he'd been told it would.

Alaska's hatred of russia is a thing of beauty. If Putin is ever dumb enough to try to take it back, he won't know what hit him.

Think of the precedential effect as you watch all this. We've already seen the US military deployed to an American city, an unthinkable breach of fundamental constitutional principle...and it was treated with a yawn. Why? They...didn't do much. What about next time? What if mass protests break out?

The “crisis” in D.C. doesn’t exist.

This is a manufactured narrative, serving the interests of a white supremacist, Christian nationalist Trump regime that aims to take over Democratic cities, imprison Black and Brown communities, and establish a long-lasting police state that crushes any dissent.

His usual word salad of he has no idea what's coming out of his mouth. But also indicative of he secretly recognizes all of Putin's territorial claims, no matter how absurd.

It wasn't a coding error. Nobody believes you about that. We The People won't have our founding documents taken from us.

Fascists hate art because it allows people to experience the power of a fantasy: that things are not what they seem, that other people experience things the way you do, that a better world is possible. Imagination is a dangerous weapon when your main tactic is "because I said so"

Then stop filling the world with more hot air and DO SOMETHING ALREADY. This is just another attempt to distract from the Epstein files.

To understand what triggered the protests and the unexpected reaction in Ukraine, it’s essential to know the context - especially for those who don’t follow Ukraine’s internal politics.

🧵Thread:

1/ First, the protest isn’t aimed at the President personally, but at a specific law passed yesterday.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

I can't express how much this disturbs me. I left my EPC church earlier this year because Wilson's dominion theology is creeping into the leadership.
