The new official definitions of anti-semitism which seek to criminalize Israel criticism, this admin’s authoritarian tactics, and AI fueled surveillance via Palantir, will be marshaled to crush dissent in ways that were impossible in 2003.

Everyone should be prepared for the fact that whereas with Iraq, anti-war protesters were smeared as traitorous terror lovers, this time we will also be smeared as bigoted anti-semites.

Colonial extraction and unequal exchange have shaped two centuries of North-South inequality. A thread on the new study written with @gatonievas.bsky.social [A thread 1/8🧵]

As Trump’s popularity drops and backlash mounts, he will turn even more authoritarian. The techniques he’s tested on immigrants will be turned on American citizens.

Oh yes that number is overwhelming

Centrists have caused a profound shift among the base of the Dem party through their cowardice in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism. In January Gallup found a plurality of Dems wanted the party to be more moderate, a new poll finds that the majority now want the party to be more progressive.

There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!

I'd be happy to support and help fundraise if someone can get the effort together. How much do you think would need to be raised?

Would require a significant investment and money but would be a great idea.

The Supreme Court has effectively sentenced more innocent people to be disappeared into Bukele's torture dungeon. Disgraceful capitulation to fascism.

You have any sense of which way the decision on the merits is likely to go with SCOTUS?

This is only a partial list and the worst is undoubtedly yet to come. Your health, wealth, and freedom all under assault.

He is using totalitarian tactics to crush universities, law firms, and media outlets. He has just levied the largest tax in history on working Americans and sent the global economy into a tailspin. He bragged about bombing innocents in Yemen and is prepping war with Iran.

He gave the richest man on the planet a green light to plunder, destroy the safety net, and gut things like cancer research. He is disappearing innocents into a foreign gulag with no due process and refusing to obey the courts who try to stop them.

It’s hard for me to hold in my head the breadth of the destruction, chaos and outright evil from this administration. Trump is fully backing a genocide and threatening with arrest or deportation those who oppose it.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

This person sicced a fascist government on a student protester and is now trying to nuance troll his way out of culpability.

MAHA UPDATE: the Trump admin just made a lawyer for Abbott Labs head of food safety. He (unsuccessfully) defended them from charges that premies became catastrophically ill from their formula. Same company caused a formula shortage when they shut down a plant for unsanitary conditions.
