“The agency cut nearly everyone who works to administer federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act”

This is foul. Even for them.

Jesus

Every day there seems to be a mass shooting

And it still shocks me that Republicans refuse to do anything about it

🧵
Step 5: 2025.
President again, Qatar suddenly gifts him a $400 million luxury jet that he’s converting into Air Force One and bankrolls a $5.5 billion Trump-branded golf resort in Doha.

Step 4: 2021–2024.
The Air Force completes environmental studies and infrastructure planning. Everything traces back to the original deal Trump approved.

🧵
Step 3: 2017: Planning the base.
Those jets require U.S. training facilities. Plans begin for a Qatari training detachment at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. In 2017. When Trump was president.

Timeline Qatar, Idaho:
Source: @thegodpodcast.com
A 🧵:

Step 1: 2017.
POTUS Trump calls Qatar “a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Step 2: 2017: Later that same year.
He sells Qatar $12 billion worth of F-15 fighter jets.

So after Halloween, we’re all just buying inflatable costumes
on sale to be ready, right? The Revolution can and should include music, and costumes and building community and never letting them steal our joy.

watching a doc re: hurricane Katrina … and seeing the army pointing guns at citizens … is giving me desensitization for what may come.

that event shook a whole community that will be felt for generations to come.

Ezra Levin’s message here is perfect.

Despite all their best efforts at scaring us, it’s clear the goon squad regime are the ones who are scared.

Let’s make it the biggest demonstration in American history.

Tell them no f*cking kings.
