Precisely. And many still support this meltdown.

Did they do that in 2024? Just curious.

These layoffs at federal agencies have a multiplier effect. Contractors working for the agencies, local businesses, uber, local charities, heck even subscriptions. Wish @rbreich.bsky.social or someone cld do a breakdown of the broader economic impact of these layoffs.

Everyday, I end up talking to some “apolitical” person and I am reminded of this.

They are not even following US laws. They are just acting like Iranian Basij or Taliban.

as a head of State or an opposition leader, such strategic moves can be relevant. But when you accepting the Nobel laureate the bar is higher. Her dedication to Trump is a slap on every other peace activist fighting against authoritarianism. She is also in close alliance with Milei and Netanyahu.

You think they won’t start martial law otherwise?

It’s not a matter of just thanking Trump. She has been in close alignment with Milei and Bibi and Bolsenaro for a while. You may not be fond of CodePink, but the stuff mentioned in their statement are facts. It has been documented in other places as well.

No she doesn’t. She has been aligned with Javier Milei (who gave the chainsaw to #Musk) Netanyahu and Trump for a while. She js a known Trump ally. Wanting Maduro out is not enough. www.codepink.org/nobel_peace_...

Why #MariaMachado is not deserving of the #NobelPeacePrize
1. She dedicated her prize to #Trump
If that’s not enough, see what legitimate peace activists like have to say. www.codepink.org/nobel_peace_...

NO. She dedicated her Prize to Trump. She is in alliance with Netanyahu and Melei. We should not learn about fighting authoritarianism or peace from her.

@sanders.senate.gov Bill to reduce the defense budget and reallocate for VA healthcare for only 10 Democratic votes. Dems can’t solve all the problems. But they can try to not be a part of the problem.

This is really not the time to gaslight people. And he is doing that. Withdrawing support if the ISP and CPD wld be a major deterrent. Way more meaningful than reading SNL scripts for those who are actually resisting.
