Republicans went nuts and accused Biden of tyranny when he tried to cancel student debt.

Right now, their guy just imposed the biggest tax rise on Americans in modern history by fiat, unilaterally, with no congressional or judicial approval.

I find it deeply disturbing that some, who are well intentioned, are allowing bad actors to use the evil of antisemitism as cover to destroy, or to attempt to destroy, American universities and colleges

Trump slapped a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands

Zero people live there

But he still exempted Russia and North Korea from the tariffs

I think this nails it.
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.

"MY first thought was, he lied in every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the working of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that purs’d and scor’d
Its edge, at one more victim gain’d thereby."
