Want to hear re: a president who wanted his opponents physically beaten & was accused of wanting to be king?

My lecture on Andrew Jackson

In this cartoon from his presidency, he’s standing on a shredded Constitution w/a book titled “Judiciary of the US” at his feet

A cartoon from the early 1830s mocking Andrew Jackson as a king.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Bondi claiming they arrested [checks notes] "the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa" has me in stitches

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

Donald Trump is a convicted felon, yet he still had no qualms about running for president. So... just imagine the magnitude, depravity, and wickedness of the crimes that he's hiding.

Release the Epstein files.

Absent the structure of federalism, this would be an unambiguous act of aggression. And POTUS eliminated any ambiguity last week at Quantico, when he looked all his generals in the face and said, “this is a war.” He’s told us what these moves mean: he’s levying war on the United States. It’s treason

Silence is complicity. Every Member of Congress who refuses to honor their oath of office by invoking the Impeachment Clause against Trump is aiding and abetting his daily assault on the rule of law. @johnbonifaz.bsky.social @jessicadenson07.bsky.social #ImpeachTrump

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

The Speaker of the House is refusing to swear in an elected official, leaving an entire district without representation, just to block a vote that would release files on the world’s most notorious pedophile, whom the President once called his best friend. Why isn’t this on every front page?!

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

The phrase “I only believe what I see” isn’t true either. Most people believe what they want. No matter what they see.

Greta Thunberg is not in the Epstein files, but Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump are.

Headlines say Pam Bondi "testified." I don't think she testified. I think she cunted. A verb she invented for me today.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Speaker Johnson is refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva because she will be the deciding vote on the Epstein discharge petition. He’s covering for Trump, Bondi, and every sexual abuser involved in this scandal.
