If you want this tyranny to end our best option is a national general strike that lasts a while. I don't think a day or 2 is gonna defeat authoritarianism. Start to think about what that means in practical terms. Supplies, logistics, cooperation.

In the U.S., we do have a generous welfare state—just not for everyone. It’s mostly reserved for those over 65: universal health care (Medicare) and a basic income (Social Security). Why? Seniors vote, donate, and hold office at much higher rates. 🧵⬇️

This is theft, plain and simple. They stole this from you. Every deletion, every erasure, every website that goes dark is a crime against the American public
The US Global Change Research Program's website, including all its sub-domains that host the National Climate Assessments and related reports, is now offline.
The 1990 Global Change Research Act (see below) mandates its research findings be available to all federal agencies & departments.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.
