It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Here’s my takeaway from the State of the Union: NPR reports that the DOJ has “withheld” documents that include allegations that Donald “sexually abused a minor.”

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

Their complete lack of credibility is becoming a primary defense.

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

Agreed. We win by their violence, not ours.

The most important thing you can do right in this moment to deny the fascists a victory here is regulate your emotions. They are trying to run you through your feelings. Do not let them.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

The difference between @whitehouse-47 and Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho of 'Idiocracy', is that the latter actually tried to do the right thing and wanted to improve life for everybody.

The answer is simple: Either you can participate in promoting or going to the No Kings protest, or you can explain to your children and grandchildren how you did nothing.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

If I am ever accused of a federal crime prosecuted by the FBI and DOJ, I will use pretty much the entire last 9 months as evidence against their credibility. Kash Patel is a fucking bafoon and Pam Bondi apparently missed every law school class she got credit for attending.

ICE is going to get someone killed. This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District. If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car. Hope everyone’s OK. (Multi-angle footage)

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken Congress? Our corrupt Supreme Court? Our ridiculous buffoon President?

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Our president after 3 politically motivated murders: "These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities—And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. " He wants us shooting at each other.

If you were encouraged, inspired, motivated by No Kings Day, please think about what the next steps are. It cannot stop with one day of protest. We need consistent organized pressure on the pillars of support under Trump. Now is the time to level up and do the prep for a General Strike.
