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.

I’m glad you want to go on your book tour, but you just cowardly accepted the demands of an authoritarian government.

For those that are confused about the continuing resolution like I was, per Rep. Jasmine Crockett. We want a GOOD continuing resolution, not the one the Republicans passed. So we will support the filibuster until then.

Call your senators! Pressure Chuck Schumer.

@schumer.senate.gov Way to do a 180 on the continued resolution? Could you explain to your constituents why you are giving continued funding to Trump and Elon?

@warnock.senate.gov Will you be voting no on the current terms of the continuing resolution? We urge you to stop the descent into authoritarianism.

@fetterman.senate.gov Why are you supporting the Republican continuing resolution to perpetuate this fascist agenda? We will remember and not forget.

Modern democracy: spineless congressman (regardless of party) that fall along party lines despite what they actually believe is best for the American people.

E.g. Biden for President.
E.g. Complete lack of check of balances on the executive powers

The complete shit show, unraveling of the federal government, is the absolute best time for our adversaries and dictatorships to take advantage.

I’m confused by the DOGE plan to force federal workers to return to office (RTO) in the name of efficiency to force quits. Quality and high performing workers contribute so much efficiency (and effectiveness) relative to the average worker, once they leave for private industry they won’t come back.

This makes me giggle everytime I see this.

SOO many organizations do this
