Anduril Partners With UAE Bomb Maker Accused of Arming Sudan’s Genocide
Anduril calls itself an “arsenal of democracy.” So why is it partnering with the United Arab Emirates, an authoritarian monarchy to build drones?

This subtweet is for leaders Jeffries and Schumer.
Pritzker/Newsom see it as a defining fact of the moment that Trump is consolidating authoritarian power daily and using it to subjugate Blue America like an enemy nation within. Other Dems should stop the Beltway-speak about Trump laying "traps" for them and engage.

We all know Trump is a criminal and a thug; the real sin here is the likely roll-over by Bondi and Blanche, who know better — or at least pretended to in their hearings.
Donald Trump’s Firing of a Federal Prosecutor Crosses the Reddest of Lines
The dismissal of Erik Siebert sends yet another ominous message about the risks of refusing to do the President’s bidding, and the lengths to which he will go to punish perceived enemies.

Im going to make this a shareable thread, documenting alarming events that shine on how we are drifting towards a legit ethnic cleansing. When reps from our gov are giving Nazi speeches, we should all be alarmed. #WhitePeople need to use their voices now. This will lead to horrific events very soon.

"Instead of a traditional public address from a world leader, U.S. President Donald Trump tilted back his badly-dyed hair-sprayed coif and howled at the moon for the better part of an hour"
Trump's UN speech was such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than Trump.
