And I've learned that how we talk about this stuff matters **even more** than I believed AND I learned that we have to continually not just teach, but prove, to allies how to talk about this stuff
Messaging Guidance:
Want to help Trump and fascist MAGA implement their latest policy to dehumanize disabled people? Call what they want to do “institutionalization”
Want to increase opposition to this attack on basic human freedom? Call it “incarceration” (formal, professional) or
“locking up”

Once again illustrating that while Trump cannot be shamed, he CAN be manipulated into doing nearly anything by offering him *status.*
HRC nominates him for the Nobel? Suddenly Trump swings from "Lock her up!" to "Let's be pals!"
We should exploit this vulnerability more.

Perfect illustration of the difference between "having no shame" & "being obsessed with status competition."
Trump cannot be shamed, but he can be manipulated into doing nearly anything by offering or withholding status.
This is his greatest vulnerability other than health. We should use it.

Out of the blue, Trump called the Norwegian finance minister to ask when he would get the Nobel prize suggesting he would impose tariffs if he did not www.dn.no/politikk/fre...

A good sample of responses in the post below. As I say in the interview, we have to understand the MAGA coalition as a collection of disordered counterpublics looking for Trump to get to the "truth" they're seeking. Not all are Trump first.

An unusual sight: President Trump is getting ratio’d on Truth Social for asking his followers to move on from the Epstein files. Some say he’s “gaslighting,” others say it will cost him supporters or even “kill MAGA.” A sampling of some replies getting heavy engagement.
