It’s time to wake up - we are literally on the verge of losing our democracy if Donald Trump cheats his way to those seats in Texas.

I want to do a 🧵 about the Sidney Sweeney thing, because it's *extremely* revealing & educational.

First, to be clear: I could not give less of a shit about the details -- the ad, the rhetoric, the jeans, her boobs, whatever. Good lord, who cares.

Let's look at the *structure* of the episode.

This is a human rights violation.

Multiple detainees described a disturbing incident where dozens of men were forced to eat food they had been denied all day while shackled.

“We had to bend over and eat off the chairs with our mouths, like dogs,” — from a new Human Rights Watch report.

NEW: Microsoft says it will no longer use China-based engineers to support the Pentagon.

But ProPublica found that the tech giant has relied on its global workforce for years to support other federal clients, including the Justice Department.

2 points here:

1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions.

2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.

Without federal funding, public media — and the truth-telling, community-connecting role it plays — is at risk.

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

My paraphrase of the Alito concurrence: "The court says that Tennessee does not discriminate against trans kids. I think it does. But, the more important point is, I don't care that it does, and neither should you. Fuck them kids, I say."

This will be in textbooks.
Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks.

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

CPI Report: Inflation Rose Unexpectedly in January The Consumer Price Index rose 3.0 percent from a year earlier as food and energy prices picked up.

The President has been throwing tariffs around like a crackhead in a dodgeball game, so no, a rise in inflation is not unexpected it was in fact predicted by anyone not on Planet Sulzberger

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework.
Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

FACT CHECK: Canada has already announced this plan BEFORE Trump announced his tariffs.
