🧵America didn’t “lose” manufacturing to China. It gave it away starting with NAFTA in the ‘90s. Corporations wanted cheap labor. Politicians lined up to help. Working-class communities were sacrificed for profit margins. NAFTA was the first big nail in the coffin. Factories fled to Mexico

I’m confused at why local governments and law enforcement are ignoring ICE’s lack of jurisdiction and authority and just letting them do whatever. If a branch of the federal government is stepping on state’s rights then where are all the ppl that screeched about that shit since the damn Civil War?

Just to be clear, Qatar wouldn’t gift a $400M luxury jet without being promised/given something in return. The United States is in grave danger with this deranged criminal tyrant in the White House. Fuck you to all who chose to endanger us all by sending him back there.

Oh, so if the Qatari prime minister dismisses controversy surrounding Trump plan to accept gifted jet -- then it's clearly OK? WRONG: It's pure corruption in broad daylight. When will the adults in the judiciary branch step up and slap this bitch down -- hard?!!

Hey NY Times-- It is still a "fringe theory" -- every court has rejected it. There is still a "broad consensus" -- John Eastman is a disgraced lawyer under indictment. The only thing that has changed is the Times.

In case you missed it. The "gift" of the plane from the Qatari royals that will serve as the new AF1 is a bribe. YES. A BRIBE. Pass it on.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as Air Force One Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

Dear White Women, Are you ready to FULL-ON Karen ICE agents in your community? DEMAND to see the manager? DEMAND to see the warrant? Ask them if they know WHO they’re talking to? FILM it all? No. Really. Are you ready to do this? Our job is to spend our privilege - EVERYWHERE it is useful.

Local city councils need to start placing serious restrictions on local law enforcement’s interactions with ICE. NO local police force should assist in any activity not supported by official warrants signed by a judge. WE control city councils. WE can elect members who respect the law.

Democrats—led by Rep Maxine Waters and others—walked out of a crypto hearing, which led to it being shut down. Waters objected “because of the corruption of the president of the US and his ownership of crypto and his oversight of all the agencies.” More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/horrible-n...

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."
