This is the right framework to make sense of the Trumps actions. And why it's so important to fight back.
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.

«Could» being the operative word here. But don’t let them forget.
Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Pro tip: preventing authoritarianism is way easier than fighting it.
"use creative tactics, stay active for long periods of time, and retain public support by eschewing violence even when facing government repression..."

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Thanks for everything, America. Hope we’ll meet again in better times.
Europe and the US: Thanks America, That’ll Be All
Andy Warhol, Big Mac, iPhone: It was a grand American epoch. But it’s over. Europe must finally emancipate itself – just not as awkwardly as Jürgen Habermas might like.

Canada doing the job the Democrats should have done.
Salute to the Canadians for putting these ads up in downtown DC, they’re right and they should say it more 🫡

It is not a battle between nations; it is a battle between those who believe in democracy and human rights against those who seek dictatorship and oppression. Stand with democratic forces in all countries!

The owner of X is openly offering million dollar bribes to swing the election of Supreme Court judges in the US.

If you are a media organisation and are still using links to X on your website and posting there, quite simply..

You are part of this.

Hegseth should be a low hanging fruit for the Democrats. Ripe for resignation.

Don’t hold your breath though.
Along with publicly sharing classified information, Hegseth is also running the military with his family members

Somebody tell JD Vance he’s not doing a good job by the people of US…
incredible -- JD Vance rails against Denmark from Greenland -- "Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland."

Funny, but not funny, because it’s true.
Politicians should wear uniforms like Racing Car Drivers, so we can identify their Corporate Sponsors.

Unfortunately it’s just a matter of time. Protest peacefully. But protest.
Martial Law.

It’s the elephant in the room.

It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them.

It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for.
