Sometime in the next 3 weeks, Trump will end this war. Why? Because he’s a coward. Time and again, he does something dumb, then bails out once he sees the consequences.

In my latest, I explore his latest stumble into idiocy in light of all the other times he’s done stupid shit.

@Bartaway @hubertlepicki For anyone who goes back and reads the statements of Solidarity activists, it's got plenty of the good kind too.

40 years ago tomorrow, Filipinos ousted a dictator who tried to steal an election.

Unless you think Trump (or Vance) will cede power voluntarily in 2029, then Americans will have to do the same.

The good news? It’s eminently doable. In my latest, I explain how. (link below)

If you're puzzled by Michael Tracey defending Epstein, it's a small step from denying atrocities on behalf of foreign powers to denying atrocities on behalf of rich guys.

Below is a thread I did on @mtracey and @aaronjmate ludicrously denying Russia's mass child abductions. 1/2

In 2029, Americans will likely face an incumbent president who refuses to cede power after an election loss.

40 years ago, Filipinos showed how to solve that very problem. Here’s how they did it.

My latest: Dictators are not omnipotent. They depend for support on security forces, business elites, party allies, civil servants, and ordinary people. Deprive him of that support, and he’s just a man, isolated and powerless.

This will be the key to removing Trump.🧵
