In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

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.

If you’re upset about the chaos and corruption Trump is inflicting on your country—whether your focus is the nihilistic dismantling of government, the economy, our foreign relations, or his threats to the rule of law—please join the nationwide marches on April 5. Learn more here 👉 handsoff2025.com

Your pants are on fire Tracy Flick. By which I mean you are a liar.

Himes: "Apparently all this mayhem is cheered by the president of the United States and by 20-somethings with laptops and names like Big Balls. But I've been doing this for a long time, and I know that Moscow and Beijing and Tehran and Pyongyang cannot believe their luck."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Every American I’ve heard from is embarrassed, including a lot of veterans, by this draft-dodging commander in chief who wants to sell us out to Putin and be Putin’s puppet.

Thread🧵1/6 Never Forget This Day, February 28, 2025, when 🇺🇸 president betrayed a Democratic 🇺🇦 ally! 🚨 🚨 🚨 Yesterday, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader! 🇪🇺 I'm still in shock. Everyone should see this video! #GOPTraitorsToDemocracy #RussiaisATerroistState #PutinOwnsTrump

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

“DON’T BEND OVER!” Atlanta Journal-Constitution (@ajc.com) reporting from a Republican stronghold district in Georgia tonight: Packed room of angry constituents demanding their congressman stand up for them.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, is a hero. Period. Full stop. 🇺🇦 He and his people have withstood a brutal and unprovoked attack by a merciless, bloodthirsty dictator who has deliberately targeted innocent civilians in an attempt to break their will. He has failed. 1/3

Trump on civil servants working from home: “Nobody’s going to work from a home. They’re going to be going out. They’re going to play tennis. They’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working.” Trump 1.0 - 293 golf days, $150m to taxpayers Trump 2.0 - $10.7m

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

@karaswisher.bsky.social says that when media accepts Elon Musk's framing around his governement takeover, he wins the battle on Out Front with @erinburnett.bsky.social on CNN

Laurence is my favorite male journalist right now. youtu.be/BIOaxR_UHIQ?...

These people are trying to destroy U.S. power is the world with wildly unhinged allegations and you have to ask why this benefits them? What will China or Russia give Musk and Trump if we hand the world to them?

Trump deliberately plunged the FAA into chaos as soon as he took office. Musk pushed out the FAA Administrator so the agency was leaderless, Trump fired the entire safety advisory board. He bullied staff to accept buyouts. Not a surprise the tower was “not normal”.

It’s hard to overhype how dangerous this moment is. This a naked attempt to seize government by the right wing billionaire class so they can steal from the American people.

Senator Chris Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is." Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social I will be following your lead, LFG🔥

So, Mexico has agreed to do what it is already doing? www.reuters.com/article/worl...

We are not in a cult. THIS is the time to build the Democratic party back up by undoing what hasn't and won't work. And that only happens when we're honest about where we've gone wrong. To paraphrase James Baldwin, we can criticize our own party because we love its promise.

Over 40,000 people on the streets of Stuttgart, Germany last night. People gathering to defend their democracy and send a clear “f**k you” to fascism, AfD and Elon Musk. 👏 (🎥 Tilo Berner)

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Generations of Black patriots have fought in every battle. In every war. They fought when that freedom didn’t include them. Black History is, and will ALWAYS be, American History. #BlackHistoryMonth

From a bored and affluent middle class who wanted another season of reality TV.

when the winemoms are posting like Lenin, you managed to fuck up your regime consolidation

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

Important data to remember.

Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense. They want things to work. If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.

When I first opposed the populist, economic, forgotten-man arguments (years ago), and then wrote a book about it, I got a lot of pushback because the economic narrative was firmly lodged among both right and left. It was always a red herring.
