All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

hey @podsaveamerica.crooked.com re: MAGA & the USAID dismantling, MAGA folks I know are saying: "USAID is a NEO political war machine fund that allows us to enter other countries and stimulate regime changes." It always comes back to some conspiracy theory bc they can't justify the real damage. 1/2

All this talk that "people didn't vote for" mass chaos and Musk's fingers in the Treasury, etc. is crap. He told everyone he wanted to dismantle the government, we knew Musk was buying access. Knew denials Project 2025 would be implemented were BS. We all knew this was possible. And it's happening.

I'd also love to see a compiled list of all the progress accomplished in this country because of "DEI practices" -- things like disabled access to everything from buildings to websites and ya know, things like women being "allowed" to get a credit card in their own name.
