🧵 As everyone processes the negative impact Trump’s policies are having… with the dollar falling and Bitcoin rising as a hedge… it seems worth considering if it is perhaps by design - on behalf of people who do not have the best interests of the 🇺🇸 people at heart. x.com/kellycnbc/st...

Hogg is suggesting we should primary bad Democrats and elect better Democrats. As a starting point for me, this is a good and long-needed change. Let's see where he goes from here. Brooks, on the other hand, is a Republican who just had his first good idea since at least before Hogg was born.

1/ 🧵THREAD: People ask what we can do to fight the rapid dismantling of democracy by the fascist Trump regime. There are effective, time-tested methods to resist. Rallies and marches must escalate to focused, disciplined, peaceful civil disobedience at scale.

Agree w this. But fwiw, I don’t think there are adverse political consequences on this front. And I think I have pretty good antennae for political impact. There’s a pretty broad discomfort w the whole disappearing people w no due process agenda. The escalation from WH is actually the tell on that.
