NON-MAGA Republicans didn't vote for this. We might be pissed that they voted for him...at all, but they weren't happy with Joe Biden. Don't go much deeper than that. They didn't. If we are going to get the fuck out of this, it will only be by working WITH the ANYONE who turns on Trump. 1/5

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

"Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

The cost of US aid to Ukraine is half the official estimates, — Economists for Ukraine The actual cost of US military aid to Ukraine is $18.3 billion instead of the more than $60 billion declared in Washington. The main reason for the disagreement is the overestimation of old American equipment.

I know that today we are mostly reflecting on three years of full-scale war,but let’s not forget that russia attacked us in 2014. Eleven years of bombed by russian tеrrоrists cities. Eleven years of stolen childhoods, families torn apart and heroes lost.How much longer before the world truly acts?

Russia launched an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022. Since then, thousands of Ukrainians have perished. Entire towns and cities reduced to rubble. It will take them decades to recover, if at all. For Trump to casually flip the narrative via tweet is beyond disgusting.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

At the very least keep harping on the fact that Trump fired the people who were finding fraud in his COVID programs, to the tune of $100s of Billions. And DOGE's receipts page is near-fraudulent itself.

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about an end to the war here in Ukraine. As an American living in Ukraine, I’ve been baffled by both the substance and tone of much of that discussion. It seems like some basic facts are being forgotten or ignored. 1/n

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)
