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.

this is what i'm trying to get at when i tell my friends who "don't draw" to just shut up and draw. i don't give a single solitary shit particle if you think it'll look bad, it WILL make me smile and clap my hands regardless

I simply do not believe the truth of our existence is that we have to be this selfish and malicious to be happy

Do not hang your head if you have failed to live up to the expectations of others. Shame is for when you have knowingly done wrong, for when you have acted selfishly, for when you been dishonorable. An honest effort is a source of pride, of honor. You are worthy of it.

Neoliberalism is designed so that individuals become so atomised that the only question in response to rising fascism is "what can I do?" & the subsequent answer is "nothing". But the moment you reach out to an org asking & answering "what can *we* do?" the impossibility of action is proven false.

I do think that as things get worse we need to be better about vetting our dread. Is that thing you just shared a well-sourced warning about an actual problem or is it just a slick looking infographic from someone trying to scrape some engagement off your dread?

It is possible to make something just for the sake of providing a cool thing to your community! Not everything needs to culminate in selling your work to a faceless corporate entity!!

If the situation was hopeless the propaganda wouldn’t be necessary.
