If you have a podcast or platform, large or small, don’t just focus on major elections but smaller state and locals too. Keep talking about the HUGE non-voter figure and give the 🇺🇸 people links/pointers to vote.gov If they live abroad voting rights can be found at FVAP.gov #USpolitics #Activism

HOW TO TACKLE TRUMP: Alongside joining #Handsoff & other protests it’s important to talk (incl in any country where 🇺🇸 citizens reside) to people you know who don’t vote about the need to do so. 88million did not cast a 🗳️in 2024. Turnout in Midterms, State and Locals can limit his power. #Democracy

💥 Trump blinked. The bond vigilantes brought him to heel. news.sky.com/story/tariff...
Also separate shenanigans around anyone buying stocks early in the day (esp before 9.37am) who had access to info that he intended to pause, but it’s the 2nd para that is the truth bomb. #Trump #Tariffs #Bonds

If pressed for time there is a transcript. It’s worth staying awake to what we may once have dismissed as fringe because “weird” is fast becoming the new norm. #oligarchy

🤔The relationship between Platonic political philosophy and what might be called a "Broligarchy" perspective has some contrasts & parallels, but Plato‘s ideal state could = be seen as a blueprint for authoritarian regimes that claim to rule based on superior knowledge or wisdom #philsky #politics

I usually dismiss videos with titles like this, but watched & glad I did. It was uploaded in Nov 2024 & there’s no denying that much of this is unfolding. Also clicked on “The Network State”. Like many, I knew about the TechBro Oligarchy but not the detail. #uspolitics #politics #Project2025 #vance

2) The peace-keeping force would be provided by Europe but Zelensky (rightly) didn’t believe that workers & investment by 🇺🇸 would be enough to deter Putin (see above) and wanted further security guarantees from #Trump Let’s see what they thrash out. #Russia/Ukraine #Mineralsdeal #vance

It’s brinkmanship straight out of Trump’s ‘how to cut a deal manual’ (below). Zelensky should not apologise but give him some mineral rights, not all he wants. Just enough to put US workers in Ukraine then sit back and watch Trump get trapped by his own ignorance

People keep 🗣️ that Zelensky should sign the deal as it’ll protect #Ukraine by having US workers in the country. Zelensky knows it won’t be a strong enough deterrent. Everyone who knows #Russia/Putin’s playbook knows it won’t. I’ll let Claude explain one of many scenarios #USpolitics #news #Trump

Politics is about messaging, power dynamics and perception. The public perception - especially beyond America itself - is that Trump won the hearts of Americans in a landslide victory. The facts are a huge number either couldn’t decide, disliked their party candidate, or just didn’t/don’t vote 🗳️👇
