The people running the federal government hate New York City and want to punish people who live here for (by and large) having views and living lives that they dislike. Any gussied-up justification is working backwards from that desired result

Pretty clear this is where we were headed. They’re going to weaponize audits and private data to go after political enemies.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

What is the orange moron going to do? Threaten tariffs? Already done. Threaten to withdraw security guarantees? Already done. If you play all your cards the first week you have no more cards.

If you live in NY State & want something concrete to do, call Gov.

Trump DOJ suing Illinois and NY to force them to collaborate with ICE (might even say "commandeering" their local law enforcement) is just another example of the admin saying they're done trying to get laws passed, they're done with Congress

the contempt senate dems have for their own base that they would play act at obstruction while quietly greasing the wheels and then expect that to placate people angry about their inaction. just stage managed nonsense.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
