Lemme know when the stock market hits 1929! (rimshot) (cow moo) (old-timey car horn) (boooooing! noise) (edge of the sky cracking open to let in spectral ice-spiders)

🧵 Ten reasons authoritarian leaders deliberately crash their own economy while attempting full overthrow of democracy:

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Project Esther is here. Students and faculty at universities across the country are being targeted by ICE for deportation due to their support for Palestine under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

This is what fascism looks like, folks

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Hamdan Ballald, the Oscar-winning Palestinian co-director of "No Other Land," was brutally attacked by Israeli settlers in the West Bank on Monday before he was arrested by soldiers. Colleague Basel Adra describes the violent scene.

Horrifying: After the contract tracking Ukrainian children abducted by Russia was terminated, the underlying evidence of these potential war crimes seems to be missing, a bipartisan group of Reps just charged in letter to Rubio. Two GOPers signed. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1929...

“Polestar wants to deliver the final blow. … Polestar is offering anyone who owns or leases a Tesla $5,000 off a lease on a brand new Polestar 3. Combined with their latest $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, any Tesla driver can buy a Polestar 3 for a whopping $20,000 off.”

It’s almost funny but actually shocking how MAGA spent all week trying to justify the detention of Mahmoud Khalil with BS ‘he’s Hamas’ accusations but then goes & deports Dr Rasha Alawieh, a Brown uni professor & doctor specializing in kidney transplant patients without any reasons given whatsoever!

“I Am a Jewish Student at Columbia. Mahmoud Khalil Is One of the Most Upstanding People I Have Ever Met” Absolute #mustread for Zeteo from Jonathan Ben-Menachem, who also argues that “we cannot allow fascists to use the pretext of Jewish safety to attack our communities.” Read/share/subscribe:

ME: *sits at desk and works* Just focus. Just focus. Don't look around. Do NOT look around. THE NEWS:

Need Tri-Star Pictures to come back. Seeing that Pegasus in front of a new movie would fix me
