Thread. When I said Trump would strip the US and sell it for parts -- and that this would get worse during the shutdown -- this is part of what I envisioned. Keep an eye on federal lands too.

Thread on national parks
"The Trump admin is keeping public lands open for drilling, but closed to the public."

Now New Mexico's state parks are closed too.

It is heartbreaking to watch a predictable, planned destruction. People who call this "unimaginable" ignore that the dangers were all spelled out.

We will not get this land back, this time back, and the lives of those lost back. People with power waited, and it was a fatal move.
From election night: "It felt fragile then, and it feels broken now."

Then, as now, fight anyway. google.com/amp/s/www.theg…

On 55:00 we discuss Trump's conception of death: "He's like a caricature of baby boomer narcissism: he literally cannot imagine the world continuing without him. He's so resentful of death that he needs to take everyone else down with him." --@gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/24027061
"Trump has always believed that the world will end in nuclear war. But what started out as a desire for non-proliferation turned into a desire to use nuclear weapons. Trump can now assauge his life-long fear by being the one who pushes the button." patreon.com/posts/24027061
At 50:00 on @gaslitnation: "Trump is surrounded by religious fanatics obsessed with the rapture: Pence, Pompeo. When it comes to things that might really end the world, like climate change, they won't act. When it comes to nukes, they might use them." patreon.com/posts/24027061

"The non-essential worker is the archetypal hire. Our worst-case scenarios are simply scenarios."
The GOP ideology of the 2013 shutdown -- weaken government, deem federal services unnecessary, and ultimately privatize and profit -- has merged with the kleptocratic agenda of a Russian asset who wants to not only destroy federal services, but destroy the US itself.
It's not a shutdown as a means to an end; the shutdown is its own end.

Once again, people are relying on norms and expectations that do not apply to Trump. There is no leverage in poll numbers; this is not about the base. This is not about the wall. This is about the end.

I'm making a thread of articles that I think are seminal to understanding the crisis we're in, but have largely been played down.

They describe massive and horrific crimes that have been carried out with impunity by people in Trump's camp, often for years or decades.
1. The US Treasury was infiltrated by Russia in 2015 with the active aid of US Treasury officials. The Obama admin knew and did not stop it. The Trump admin is complicit, and treason in the treasury continues under Mnuchin's watch.

Buzzfeed: google.com/amp/s/www.buzz…
2. Black Cube, a brutal private group of Israeli operatives drawn largely from Mossad, has been working with the Trump camp to target former US officials involved in the Iran deal (when not working for predators like Harvey Weinstein)

#THREAD: #mylifewithstan

There’s a scholar that I used to teach. His name is Stan. He’s wild. We’re really close and he often reaches out to me to keep me updated. Trust me. You want to read everything this child has to say.
Got my weekly call from Stan today. School has begun. Stan seems to have issues with all of his teachers...

Me: So tell me about your day...

Stan: There’s not much to tell. I was in and out of the dean’s office all day.

Me: It’s DAY TWO!
Stan: Actually, its day 233 of the actual year. I learn all year round.

Me: Okay Stan. Why were you in the dean’s office?

Stan: Because I gave the teachers advice.

Me: What kind of advice?

Stan: Well, the art teacher didn’t know what she was doing.

1. In 1987 it is believed that #Trump was recruited by #SovietUnion, specifically recruited by Kryuchkov head of First Chief Directorate, a division within the #KGB who's primary responsibility was to gather foreign intelligence

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
