Sarah Kendzior: I don't even know where to begin to discuss Chuck Woolery's comment that racism has nothing to do with race. I only knew him as a racist guy on Twitter; I didn't know he was a game show host.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: I know it seems bizarre, but Trump's & his backers' interest in Greenland is to profit off climate change. They know climate change is coming, they want to accelerate it, & they want to profit off it.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: They see themselves as the chosen few who get to profit off the earth. Trump has no loyalty to the United States. This seems so insane that people don't want to look at the criminality of it but they need to.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Rick: Denmark said Greenland isn't for sale.
Sarah Kendzior: There's unlikely to be some on-the-ground invasion of Denmark. I can see that western Europe is bankrupted by fascism; the old rules of alliances, trade are not going to apply.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Greenland will benefit tremendously from climate change, such as fossil fuels. If you're looking for a country to buy, Greenland is a good choice. I'm sure this idea did not originate with Trump--he heard it somewhere.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Trump's saying he won't put a golden tower on Greenland is a way of getting that thought in our heads.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Helsinki was just a year ago, when we watched Trump prostrate himself in front of Putin. I hadn't heard about Trump's comments that he wants Russia to rejoin G8.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Social media, the internet, all these white supremacist groups reaching across borders and funding each other...white supremacy has taken off since Obama was president. Not because of anything he did but because he's black.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: Republicans won't do anything about gun control or background checks. Don't show surprise that McConnell won't do anything--have a backup plan B! I don't know what the remedy should be, but that's why I'm not in Congress--I don't have a plan.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Rick: Rex Tillerson said years ago that climate change is real but we humans will adapt. Adapt by privatizing everything, like Nestle selling bottled water.
Sarah Kendzior: There's still the obligation to fight back politically.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: It may be too late to fight back against climate change, but it's not too late to fight back politically. The GOP just doesn't care about humanity, it's all about making profits.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Sarah Kendzior: The Business Roundtable may be saying that shareholder profits are no longer everything, but I'll believe it when I see it.
@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Rick: I would love to see Sanders' plan to repeal Taft-Hartley and move the NLRA back to its original intent. Then the Business Roundtable can do whatever it wants.

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation Rick: 440 days till the election.
Sarah Kendzior: I worry about the time between the election in Nov 2020 & the inauguration in Jan 2021. That will be the most dangerous time in American history.
