Indict him too while you’re at it.
Jared Kushner has pulled out of a planned Trump-branded development in Belgrade after the project sparked protests and the indictment of a senior Serbian politician.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

“Remote work is bad but AI is good” from the wealthy land owners who hate that their offices are not being occupied, but none of them can explain how AI taking everyone’s jobs is going to occupy those same office spaces.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.
Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.
We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Shapiro: I think another lesson from last night is that the American people have pretty good bullshit meters—and they know that Donald Trump’s bullshitting them. Look, I think you know two million Pennsylvanians don’t have access to SNAP right now, don’t have access to food right now.

What is Donald Trump’s reasoning for backing Andrew Cuomo? Did he hear the sexual assault allegations and say, “That’s my guy”?

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵
Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.

The semiotician Roland Barthes called this "mythologizing," when historically/socially contingent beliefs get presented as/assumed to be "natural" and "universal" truths as a way to buffer them from critique. It's rhetorically depoliticizing the deeply political, and it's everywhere.
"Yup, there's your problem. You've mistaken arbitrary norms specific to your social group for sacred immutable truths and it has driven you insane."
