Speaker Johnson just confessed.
The Republicans are holding canceled SNAP as a negotiating tactic.
Taking children and their families hostage is reprehensible.

This is an old tactic, older even than the 1920s Vance is inventing. After WWI in Canada a strikebreaking tactic was "hey returning soldiers, you don't want to side with the immigrants taking your jobs, right"; the answer from many soldiers was "nice try, shut up" (I'm working on a book about this)
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.
Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Along the lines of people dressing up in inflatable frog costumes, I think an effective resistance tactic against these pathetic men could involve crowds of people pointing, cracking up and falling to the floor in hysterical laughter as tubas play clown music in the background

The way to beat this tactic is to say “No, you’re trolling/lying/arguing in bad faith. You’re trying to do something malicious and we should treat you like that.”

So every person with a common non-white sounding ethnic name will be challenged at the polls. This is a voter suppression tactic not a border control policy.

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.
ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
You can judge for yourself.

The reason this “welfare queen” lie has been such an effective *tactic* is that it invites already-racist listeners to associate the existence of visible Black beauty conventions with fraud. So everywhere they look, they see “evidence” of the fascist lie.

Judges might’ve ruled for Trump to fund SNAP but let’s be real he already let people starve once. He shut down USAID, ignored court orders, and watched warehouses of food rot while mothers and kids died waiting for help Congress had already approved. This is a war tactic.

A perfect tactic if the plan is for Labour to fall behind the Greens and/or Lib Dems in the polls...
I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

We all know the next two groups they're going to use this tactic on, right
New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo
“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”
“Alright, we just got to verify that”

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship
Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

Trump is a war-monger wannabe king.
He is dragging Americans to a war with Venezuela based on lies and without Congress' approval. It is a tactic straight from the authoritarian playbook.

We’ve seen this tactic before. And we need to oppose it.
Sie will zum CSD keine Regenbogenflagge hissen und vergleicht die taz mit Nius – aber warnt vor Polarisierung. Ist das Widerspruch oder Strategie?

Therapist: May I suggest you take a break?
Me: Sure! OK! So. I want to be optimally relaxed. I'd like to maximize how refreshed I feel in the shortest amount of time possible. What's the best tactic? How do I reach peak rest? How do I win resting? Can I min/max my leisure?
Therapist: Oh no.

SNAP articles aren't talking to those of us who've experienced starvation from poverty and what it does. "What isn’t mentioned is that starvation is a known war tactic. People cannot fight back if they are starving. Hunger makes people obedient and compliant."

They are surely happy to move money around without Congress’s approval, just not when it comes to feeding people I guess 🤷🏻♀️. This is a disgusting power tactic that has real repercussions.

Who out there shares the best urban transformation before-and-after pictures? It’s a tactic I consider particularly powerful & effective. Bonus points for sharing your favourite B&A examples. Example below from @modacitylife.com from Torino, Italy where we were just both speaking. #UrbanistShoutOut
