🧵 One of the things that genuinely pisses me off regularly is the absolute non-coverage of the fact that everything the Biden administration has had to deal with for 4 years are specific, unambiguous examples of Donald Trump's intentional sabotage of this country.

Trump's politicization of and lies about Hurricane Helene recovery efforts are sickening.

Coverage should be calling out Trump's lies.

Some facts + key info.⬇️

Today, a Georgia legislator & former election official announced a lawsuit against Gov. Brian Kemp.

The Election Board has been hijacked by extreme MAGA operatives, changing election rules to help Trump. Kemp has a duty to act, but is abdicating responsibility.

Details. ⬇️

Wow.

The Washington Post “fact check”

This is a very big deal⤵️ A Musk election interference effort that tricks people in swing states into thinking they've registered to vote. Read/ share.

White friends, especially white women who did not have an undergraduate sorority experience:

In the coming months you’ll likely see a great deal of content about VP Harris’ sorority affiliation and the support from its members. We 🩷 it. Some info & tips for us: 🧵

BREAKING: Biden dropping out

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

Oh boy. Trump’s Doral rally tonight was a doozy. Let’s recap it:

He started off by bragging about his golf course instead of apologizing for being an hour late and leaving people waiting all day under a heat advisory.

He said he didn’t know what NATO was.

He bragged that “being indicted is a lot of fun.”

He claimed “tens of thousands” of people showed up to this sad little rally. He later said “45,000 people” when it barely looked like 2k people were there.

He froze like a deer in headlights for 10 straight seconds.

He praised Laura Loomer and repeatedly called her “amazing.”

He’s mad that Kamala Harris laughs and called her “L-a-f-f-i-n’ Kamala,” proving what we already knew that bro can’t spell.

He said he wants a “no holds barred” debate without moderators this week. Essentially the two of them screaming at each other. Super dumb idea. Especially when Biden is hosting the NATO summit.

He also challenged President Biden to a golf tournament this week when President Biden is busy meeting with NATO leaders and doing his job.

He said Biden “doesn’t know what a synagogue is.”

He thinks you have to stop electric cars every hour.

He complained about the heat only 16 minutes in, when those people waited all day and he still showed up an hour late.

He said someone told him that he looks “great in a bathing suit.” Barf.

He called the fictional Hannibal Lecter “a lovely man” and compared him to immigrants.

He said migrants are “preying on everybody.”

He forgot how to say “feared” and said “field.”

He said he’d be the “greatest president that God has ever created.”

He claimed Hunter Biden is running the country.

He babbled about facelifts.

He said he was going to bring Tom Homan back into his administration, a guy who helped author Project 2025 which he claims to know nothing about.

He claimed Biden has more homes than him.

He said we’ll become “energy independent” when we already are right now.

He complained some more about the hot weather.

He asked why “sweaty” golf caddies “never touched me, never hugged me, never kissed me.”

He made fun of Chris Christie’s weight while claiming he was standing up for him. Mighty rich.

He said the U.S. is turning into “communist Cuba or socialist Venezuela.”

He struggled to pronounce some of his sycophants’ names.

He called Don Jr. “a great talent” and that he has a “great wife” even though he’s not married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.

He said how much he loves his family showing up when his wife Melania and favorite daughter Ivanka didn’t even bother going.

He said “October 7th would not have happened” if he was President.

He said Israel “had no money.”

He said “we have nuclear submarines and five warships in Cuba,” essentially calling himself a Russian.

He said Biden has abandoned Cuba when he was the one who nixed Obama’s plan to reopen trade and travel to Cuba.

He said people get “shot, mugged, raped” when visiting the Washington Monument in DC.

He said he will protect the second amendment and “innocent life” in the same breath.

He told people to “vote whenever you want.”

He played a song performed by J6 insurrectionists and people who beat up police officers.

He read his teleprompter cue to speak quickly out loud.

He said that getting rid of energy efficiency in appliances will “keep our enemies at bay.”

He called the United States of America “a third-world country” and said we’re “a joke.”

He said President Biden “isn’t legally allowed to stand trial.”

He’s claiming that the stock market is high because of MAGA winning the election in November, and that it will crash like during the Great Depression if he loses.

He said it’s “easier to get fentanyl than groceries.”

He forgot how to say the word “economy.”

He said he’d rather take money from small dollar donors instead of the wealthy.

He said they’re “going to take over our Capitol.”

He lied like he breathes.

And we all know the media won’t cover HALF of this absolute train wreck.

Finally. A Democratic candidate just correctly pointed out that red states like Oklahoma have HIGHER crime rates than New York and California.

The Republican candidate and moderator refused to believe it.

All the people who said van Gogh soup protest was disgusting, destructive, awful, would turn people off, that the protesters should be locked up for years, etc should listen to this, and then perhaps think again.
There is only one planet, and time is almost up.

Yesterday, I attended a conference at which an influential financier shared this unpublished map. Look at it. The estimated death toll is 2-3 *billion*; the timeframe is 20-30 years (previously: 50). Segments of the elite have simply 'written off' large parts of the Global South.

I am thrilled to announce that we've just donated $21,000 to charities because of these shirt sales.
Special thanks to @elijahwood @DomsWildThings @BillyBoydActor and @SeanAstin for wearing them. As well as whoever the mystery person is who got it to them.

Real Answer:
There's a global upswell of conservatism that's been building for decades.
The far right has been honing their ability to infiltrate in-groups online for over 20 years, and they've gotten both skilled and fast. They created "gamer culture," incels, terfs, etc.
