After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online.
Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

11/ The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons.
But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

A group of WA farmers told me their products were stuck on a dock in Houston because USAID operations were shut down. They don't think they're ever going to get delivered, and they sure as heck don't think they're going to get paid. Is that what we want to do?
