1. If Trump runs out of immigrants to persecute, I suspect the next target for his performative sadism will be people with disabilities. Already, without a shred of evidence, he has blamed the air crash on disabled air traffic controllers, with horrible, stereotyping slurs about their disabilities.🧵

There's no need for state-mandated sterilisation then euthanasia when you have that
War...nice business for a country like the US (not forgetting the UK).
and
CLIMATE CHAOS...whole territories are fast becoming uninhabitable for humans...
What would you do?
#USpol
Native Americans already being targeted...
Along with all non-whites.
Trans & NB people. Gays next.
But Nazi oppression against disabled people began well before the war, including compulsory sterilisation of those with conditions regarded (often wrongly) as hereditary: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for_the_Prevention_of_Hereditarily_Diseased_Offspring

Not the start of it!
And in most cases previously bullied or abused themselves too.
Not meaning to correct either, just think it's one occasion where it's ok to make the venn diagram a single circle:)
I work with two sons of an immigrant, soldier with Free Polish Forces who stayed here in 1945.
They want all immigrants gone.
And their families.
They don't like it when I offer to help them pack.
And because he was from Silesia, they'd be off to Germany!
Everyone should be built in his image 🙄
Stand firm and fight - small steps...

1) Immigrants
2) Female rights
3) Not sure what order, but disabled people / anyone deemed "a burden" / LGBTQ+ will be next.
4) Anyone not conforming to prescribed aesthetics, whether immigrant or not.
5) Keep going until Jews are targeted.

Trigger warning. Ableist behaviour

narcissists like Trump don't give a fck; only ever in it for himself

American voters didn’t blindly trust Trump’s promises “to lead, have the nations best interests at heart” etc
They blindly trusted his promises to destroy others - other people, other countries
That’s what’s so horrible
Same thing is going to happen here (UK) in 2029
I'm certain this resonates with you mate.
George writes well, always. He is also always on the side of we, the little people.
He speaks for me; puts the thoughts in my head into cutting, incisive written words.
Hope you are well Joe.
Just like Musks salute, they just instantly attacked the criticism.

Still he was a junkie so that counts.

Even the djt-friendly NY Post reported on this.
From Newsweek:
Plenty of verifiable things to hate Trump for.
That ain't how it works. Newsweek wdn't have reported it if it weren't true--yet you choose to reject that, & instd believe his sham performance.
Did u see vid in which he mocks reporter w/ cerebral palsy? Or read his commnts to nephew (Why not let your disabled son die?)?
shared djt's horrifying comment about the nephew's severely disabled son, now an adult, when nephew called bc funds for his care--establ. by djt + his siblings bc they cheated the nephew out of his inher.-- "Your son doesn't recognize you. Let him die, and move down to Florida."
A monster.
You probably (luckily) missed much of this bc you're not in the US, but article in People mag will fill you in, if you're inclined:
"Trump Refused to Be Seen with Military Amputees: 'Doesn't Look Good for Me,' His Former Chief of Staff Confirms"
And, his nephew +++
If we don’t protect everyone,
we will protect no one.
They will come after anybody who cannot work, this includes our elder and disabled communities; it includes people with terminal illness; family carers; anybody not regularly filling the government coffers.
Needs more than just standing with people to fight this
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came….’

2016 #Trump said "I could shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters"
2024 voted, despite suggesting he could shoot democracy once and for all.
Now he is doing as he promised and was elected to do

That's racist Republican for: "Let's arrest black men."

He is trying to remove ALL trans health care. He is expelling them from the military as incompatible with an “honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle”. And from the peace corps. He’s forcing trans people in general to out themselves.
They may be less than 1% of the population, but that also has historical parallels in the history far right persecution.
