Earlier I distinguished the difference between socialism & social democracies (nordic capitalism). Someone asked me why socialism is bad.
In good faith I answered with this thread: 🧵👇
Then they blocked me. 🥸
I wonder if this was a block-worthy assessment of socialism. 🤷♀️

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

How do we know Trump didn’t order Kirk’s assassination as a distraction from Epstein — and a tactic to start the civil unrest he needs to declare Martial Law and delay the 2026 midterms?

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

Today, this chapter of the Weimar Republic’s history should be revisited. At a moment in which democracy is backsliding in places as varied as Hungary, India, Turkey, and the United States, it is a reminder that democracy often erodes slowly at first, via the gradual surrender of those entrusted..

Donald whining about the Smithsonian showing "how bad slavery was" is equal parts white supremacy & profound ignorance. Especially when the Smithsonian is *incapable* of showing “how bad slavery was.” Visitors couldn’t handle it. All but the sociopaths would be left shaking, screaming, & vomiting.

The structural core of U.S. society — settler colonialism, racial capitalism, and heteronormative patriarchy — is being reasserted through state and vigilante violence in order to crush insurgent social and demographic movements that threaten its 400-year-old power. It’s violence all the way down.
