NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

So all those gifts that are given to Trump by all the world leaders meeting at the White House today actually belong to the American people, right?

OPTIONS:
1. GENERAL STRIKE. No protest locale for Trump and Musk to seed violence.
2. LAWSUITS. Bog down literally everything in years of federal litigation. I mean hundreds of lawsuits, not dozens.
3. SLOWDOWNS. Until fired, every federal employee must slow any work that would aid Musk by 5x.

🧵I think we need to talk about *waves hands wildly in all directions* differently.
I see 3 goals:
-Dismantling democracy+systems of accountability
-Advancing white supremacist policies here+abroad
-Immiserating non-billionaires for financial gain
Each action is toward those one/all of those goals.

So if I'm getting the chronology right, Trump/Musk & minions gutted the FBI in time for a Friday night news dump, hours ahead of launching their long-promised trade war. I hate to ascribe to them anything like careful thought but *wink* "they won't be talking about the FBI on Monday!" comes to mind.

For #FossilFriday check out these ~100 million year old spiders from South Korea. They were probably preserved when rivers washed their remains into large lakes/basins associated with the plate tectonic movements of the time.
