🚨BREAKING NEWS

The bipartisan debt-limit deal, brokered between the White House and House Republican leadership, is progressing. The House Rules Committee has voted 7-6 to advance the bill towards a full House vote on Wednesday evening. #DebtLimit #USCongress Image

However, the deal did not go unopposed. All Democrats on the committee voted against the advance. Two conservative Republicans, Reps. Chip Roy of Texas and Ralph Norman of South Carolina, also opposed. Both are members of the House Freedom Caucus, which has criticized the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

The pressure is high as Congress races to pass the deal to suspend the debt ceiling before June 5. If not, the US could default on its obligations. Leaders from both parties face opposition from members critical of the concessions made in the compromise. #DebtCeilingtwitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Trad-Reps are extremely revisionist. They think that the 2016 Trump Revolution was somehow a Social Conservative revolution (It wasn't, it was a NatPop one), and believe that their views are “Populist”, when their opinions are unpopular.

#USA #GOP #USPolitics
On top of that, they've seemingly forgotten that the Christian Conservative “Culture War” wing of the party was a founding member of the Reagan-Bush establishment consensus that has helped ruin the country with globalism and mass immigration.
... Granted, the Christian Right-wing TradCon faction of the GOP has always been somewhat against immigration, they did still accept the globalist shilling the GOP did for decades in exchange for Conservative social policies.

There’s a coordinated international hit job on 🇨🇦’s gov’t. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇷🇺🇨🇳 operations. The ops coming out of England may be a proxy for Russian ops amplified by England’s ever-present far right. They inauthentically trend anti-Trudeau hashtags using accelerator botnets & trolls #cdnpoli
But, as I’ve said many times, these ops are only successful when they can get real people to engage & perpetuate them. So 3k people in 🇨🇦 + 4K in 🇺🇸 + 3K in 🇬🇧 + troll factories & botnets, suddenly appears like an overwhelming movement that spurs others to believe. #CdnDisinfo
Troll networks are complex echo chambers that have steadily evolved since the early days of 🇷🇺’s Internet Research Agency. To be successful they MUST include authentic users. So a typical response from people in these malign networks is “she says I’m a bot!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣”. Um, no

Did you really think that our Gov’t Overlords were gonna just pass up on more power grabs via CBDCs? Are you that naïve anon?

#bitcoin is so important, for far more reasons than many of you little dopamine-addicted brainlets can conceptualize.
Bring the FAKE Mt Olympus down upon the false gods of #eth #sol and the rest of this parasitic space. #bitcoin or bust.
Not a fan of gov't intervention. This space needs a cleaning...and it's quite clear that the morons and the sheep (often one in the same). If we leave it to #eth and the #altcoin space... the few will siphon the many like the vampires that they are.

And the hits keep coming-

"Farms across France were hit by heavy hail and fierce storms over the weekend... while their counterparts in Italy warned of the impact of drought on crop yields."

Dark times ahead.

In France, the world's 4th largest wheat exporter- 'Hail, strong winds & torrential rain caused damage... affecting wheat as well as fruit crops & vineyards'

"The damage is very significant, with some farms seeing 100% of their crop affected"

Italy-

'Italy has received only half the usual rainfall levels so far in 2022, according to agricultural lobby Coldiretti, which estimates the cost of lost production at close to 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion)'

[THREAD] With former President #Trump's appointees appearing set to overturn abortion rights, @POTUS on Wednesday called Trump's far-right base "the most extreme political organization" in recent American history.

#uspolitics #RoeVWade #RoeOverturned #RoeVsWade #MAGA
If the @GOP appointees overturn that case, it could effectively outlaw abortion in more than a dozen states immediately, with another dozen or so states likely to follow.

#uspolitics #RoeVWade #RoeOverturned #RoeVsWade
It could potentially open the door for right-wing crackdowns in other areas too such as #LGBTQ rights.

This 🧵 is about the @DNC's platform vote on cannabis and why I will not back down in my support of legalization even though my Party did not vote in favor of legalization.

#Marijuana #MarijuanaJustice #cannabis #NCpol #CannabisCommunity #Cannabisnews #USpolitics #DNC #DemCast
On July 27, the @DNC voted against an amendment to its official 2020 policy platform. This amendment would've supported the legalization of medicinal & recreational cannabis across the country; however, it was sharply rejected with a sweeping 50-106 vote.

tinyurl.com/y379n2hj
Now that the @DNC Convention is set to begin next week, on August 17, I felt it pertinent to speak out against this vote which I feel is not reflective of many members of the Democratic Party, nor of many candidates who are running on the Democratic ticket this fall. #Cannabis

One thing I've observed about the debate on the effects or defects of the Trump presidency, is that majority of Nigerians in the diaspora, and a huge chunk of the African American population, have heavy anti Trump sentiments.
Thread.
They view him, rightly or otherwise, as a racist and white supremacist. On the other hand, majority of 'concerned' Nigerians at home, view him in an entirely different light, using an entirely different barometer of judgement.
Nigerians at home aren't as concerned about Trump's racist or white supremacist tendencies. They're more drawn to him by his unconventional type of politics, which is fascinating to them. His bluntness, lack of political correctness and more importantly, his apparent 'distaste'

Trump "an aberration" but the US global alliances may not survive a second term, says @AmbJohnBolton. #abc730 @leighsales @nadiasdaly abc.net.au/news/2020-06-2…
“I don't really think @realDonaldTrump is fit. He doesn't have a guiding philosophy or grand strategy or policy … He's the only president I've ever seen whose almost exclusive notion is concentrating on his own re-election.” - @AmbJohnBolton #abc730 #USPolitics
@realDonaldTrump wanted to do something with Ukraine, both to get retribution against Hillary for 2016, but also to damage Biden in 2020.” - @AmbJohnBolton #abc730 #USPolitics

Så er tiden kommet til en ny #COVID19dk-tråd. Jeg starter med en go' og lidt nørdet gennemgang af #SARSCoV2, i alle dets bestanddele.

Tidligere tråde:

Denne pandemi kommer til at gøre ondt og vil kræve en helt ny global struktur, med et hidtil uset internationalt samarbejde. Vi kan ikke længere ignorere sandheden. Vi er alle ombord på det samme rumskib: Jorden. #COVID19Pandemic #dkaid apnews.com/c79a173993d39f…
Meget tyder på, at hydroxyklorokin og klorokin er ikke et vidundermiddel i behandlingen af #COVID19dk [This post contains a preprint that's not been peer-reviewed.]

Den gamle #SARSCoV2-tråd er blevet for lang, så derfor jeg starter en ny - Har man spørgsmål, er man meget velkommen til at stille dem i tråden. Image
𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝟭𝟵 𝗼𝗴 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘁: Er man gravid, så er det vigtigt at være ekstra opmærksom på riskoen ved #SARSCoV2. Vi ved fra både SARS og MERS at det kan have alvorlige konsekvenser. Men vi mangler stadig viden om SARSCoV2. Der er dog ingen grund til at tage chancer.
Derfor - Har man været i et område indenfor de seneste 14 dage, hvor der er konstateret SARSCoV2/Covid19. Eller har man været i kontakt med folk der senere er blevet konstateret smittet. Så er det vigtigt at man henvender sig til sygehuset og tager alle forholdsregler til mødet.

Man kan lära sig en del om vad USA värdesätter från Sverige när man läser grattismeddelandet från utrikesminister @SecPompeo på Sveriges nationaldag...

#svpol #ampol #USPolitics #nationaldagen #6juni Image
Dels kände jag inte till att Sverige och USA handlar för 25 miljarder dollar mellan sig årligen. @SecPompeo tackar för "tusentals jobb" som länderna skapat.

Men det mest intressanta...
Mest intressant i grattismeddelandet från USA är tveklöst bisatsen där @SecPompeo tackar för att Sverige är med och tränar irakiska styrkor för att slåss mot IS.

Varför det är intressant?
För att Sverige avbröt det samarbetet för en vecka sedan...

I've finally managed to put together a google drive with some of the resources that people have seemed to love and want to use. I will add to this as much as I can and leave it as a pinned tweet. Thanks to everyone for their kind words and inspiration. #historyteacher

You know, we post a lot of memes about Trump. Silly memes, angry memes... But there's really nothing to laugh at. Trump is a monster. And the people around him? They are monsters too. #USPolitics #cdnpoli #AbLeg #abpoli 1/19
Brazil has just elected a fascist. A more open monster, but I am not sure if he is really any worse. And in Ontario, with Doug Ford, the incompetent fascist regime has been elected. #onpoli #cdnpoli 2/19
Two more parties sit convincing people they are the governments in waiting; Jason Kenney's UCP, and Andrew Scheer's CPC. They are all cut from the same cloth. Don't let the smiles and dimples fool you. 3/19
