@sophiaflorence.bsky.social just sent me this and. Um. Jesus Christ To be fair, Trump was fantasizing about provoking riots against a liberal government. But it clearly indicates a willingness to see the economy on fire, on purpose, to vanquish the Enemy www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Trump has left the White House to play golf in Florida all weekend and while he does so they are fortifying the White House all while they watch the economy burn and they pumped the airwaves full of misinformation. The sober analysis of this is that they are planning for massive violence.

We would be in a whole different world if the Democrats had actually done their jobs after January 6 and held Trump accountable. But instead, they’re trying to throw trans Folks under the bus and partner with people like Steve Bannon and Marc Andressen for clout.

The tariffs are not intended to benefit the United States economy, nor the capitalist class as a whole. They chiefly benefit Donald Trump and his lackeys, functioning as another tool with which to punish adversaries and negotiate for personal gain. This is a hallmark of authoritarian rule.

The destruction of knowledge and truth-based sense making is a hallmark of fascism and dictatorship Trump and the Republicans are actively murdering our ability to make sense of the world around us, and the shared sense making that is crucial to maintaining a functioning democracy

Okay, but besides wrecking the economy, sharing war plans over text message with an editor, destroying our cancer research capacity and public health system, spreading communicable diseases, and giving everyone's social security information to a teen nicknamed "BigBalls" - what has Trump done wrong?

It’s an engineered collapse of the economy so right-wing venture capitalists and techno fascists can swoop in and pick Americas bones and remake it in their image.

Brooke has been spot on about this forever,I would just add that the global economic system is the jewel in the crown that the fascists have been aiming at for decades because they know if they control global commerce, they control the world. crashing the world economy and replacing it is the goal

it's impossible to tell how legit these types of reports are because ultimately they're based on what one senile dipshit thinks and that could be basically anything. could be total kayfabe, could be completely real. this type of opaque court-politics kremlinology is inherent to autocratic regimes.

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these: 1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps. 2. We decide who enemies are. 3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos. /1

ICE should not exist. It has always been weaponized against people who aren't white and it will only get worse.

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

So you know how, like, DOGE wants to destroy government agencies? And instead of immediately defying laws that say they can't, they started by firing probationary workers? And then continued to escalate, with the clear end goal of firing everybody? This is a lot like that
