I just did an exercise with my class to discuss bans on research. I thought it went very well so I wanted to share things in this short 🧵. We watched this 4 min. video on racialized and gendered unequal treatment. 1/n youtu.be/ge7i60GuNRg?...

I thought I couldn’t be shocked by ANYTHING policy and then a few years ago I read about how HUD and landlords will kill residents’ gardens. I had to put the book down to keep from having a rage stroke at the inhumanity. Anyway, yeah, this.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Call me old fashioned, but I think any president creating a meme coin hustle to recruit anonymous financial backers and rewarding the biggest spenders with “a night to remember” private dinner with the president kinda feels like an impeachable offense.

Your life doesn’t suck bc of immigrants, or those who have been given rights you already had, or those who are working to survive just like you, or those who have decided their own pronouns. No, your life sucks bc you voted for a man who’s taking away your job, your SS, freedoms, and rights. #MomSky

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

Hear me out. No more interviews of the weird pronatalist couple. Interview the neighborhood dads. The guy who mows the lawn of an elderly neighbor. The people who live self-sacrificial lives that make other people’s lives better. Normalize that. A crisis in masculinity? Highlight this man.

RFK Jr’s comments over the past week have me feeling a certain kind of way 🤬 Add RFK Jr’s appointment of David Geier, and you have a real life nightmare. It’s so much worse than I think the majority of people can grasp. The best video I’ve found that explains in detail by @perezbrenna.bsky.social

We know of 3 US citizen children deported yesterday, along with their moms who had been living in the US for years. One of the moms was pregnant. One of the kids has a rare form of cancer. One of the kids is just 2 years old. All had caregivers in the US to stay with.

Trump's incompetence is everywhere. His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Next month, Trump will have dinner with the top 220 investors in his memecoin. The dinner announcement led to a 54% increase in the value of TRUMP tokens. Trump holds 80% of all TRUMP tokens. This is late stage mafia state shit.

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Jeffrey Sachs estimates that the Trump tariffs eliminated $10 trillion. That money didn't transfer or switch countries; it was destroyed. In a matter of days, one decision cost as much as 20 years of war in the Middle East or half the cost of the 2008 crash—by choice.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨
