I spoke with @timmiller.bsky.social at length on the Bulwark podcast about how we can organize our thinking to prioritize and focus on stopping Trump from dismantling our democracy here. (Also, @bsky.app Help Tim unlock his account!!)

Thank you for this excellent Sunday thread in answer to my question. I had not yet considered your take (that he is using fear to make other nations more pliable and willing to make concessions). What you’re saying makes perfect sense.

Yea!! I got my question answered! 💃🥳🤗😍❤️

The blustering about Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal… is it just bluster because he wasn’t getting enough attention? Is it to normalize forceful invasions (i.e. are T and M doing Putin’s bidding?)? Or is it a distraction from his disastrous picks?

Update: After publication, Meta contacted me to say that the company made a mistake in its internal guidelines reported here, and “Look at that tranny (beneath photo of 17 year old girl)" is in fact not permitted. They told me that the rest of the examples stand.
