@chrissyteigen As soon as he leaves office, he can be prosecuted. His intention may be to die while still “president”—which is why he really, really wants “four more years”.

I wouldn’t put it past him to stage an “assassination” (real or fake)—which would let him go out as a “martyr”.
@chrissyteigen WHOA! Right after I posted this, Tw*tt*r froze my account and asked me to confirm that I’m not a bot. For the record:
I wish no physical harm to the current WH occupant. I merely suspect that he might arrange harm to himself, and/or fake his own death, so as to avoid prosecution.
@chrissyteigen In fact, I would strongly advise those closest to him (including @IvankaTrump) to watch for signs of despair or violent intentions (toward self or others) and to arrange for psychiatric treatment, if necessary.

“Now President-elect Donald Trump has tasked the Tesla and SpaceX CEO with eliminating waste from the federal government. In the new role, Musk will help direct policies on a wide range of issues and government bodies, including those that regulate his many business interests.”
“His companies have received ‘only’ tens of billions from government contracts and programs.
But in other ways, virtually all of his net worth can be pinned to government help. Tesla and SpaceX got started—and survived their early days—
with assistance from state and federal policies, government contracts and loans.
‘The foundation for Musk’s financial success has been the US government,’ said Daniel Ives, tech analyst for Wedbush Securities.”

WHO DIES, WHO PROFITS FROM TRUMP JACKING UP THE PRICE OF INSULIN? 🧵

From $35/month under Biden to $5,917 under Trump!

“Trump recently signed an executive order rescinding 78 of Biden’s presidential actions, including 3 executive orders aimed at lowering prescription costs Image
and enabling access to affordable health coverage... Biden order imposed a $35 monthly cap on insulin, which normally costs $5,917 a year."

Trump’s rollback of Biden’s healthcare protections—like the $35 insulin cap—exposes a chilling truth:
the working class is not just ignored
but actively undermined. Meanwhile, Silicon Valley’s oligarchs, emboldened by accelerationist ideologies, pour billions into AI designed to displace workers, not uplift them.

YIMBY HOUSING LIES—AND THE TRUTH
(In CA—& Elsewhere) 🧵

LIE #1
Flooding the market with market rate and luxury units lowers housing costs for everyone.

REALITY
Sacramento’s agenda is gentrification on steroids. It’s already worsening the housing affordability crisis statewide.
LIE #3
Local governments block needed housing.

REALITY
Local officials care most about their communities’ growth, prosperity, and affordability. They know their neighborhoods’ needs better than distant bureaucrats and profit-driven corporations.
LIE #4
Suburbs and single-family homes are racist and exclusionary.

REALITY
A majority of Americans of all backgrounds live in low- and medium-density neighborhoods or suburbs. 94% believe home ownership is central to the American Dream.

@leahfrombklyn @gtjco ACTORS—& other showbiz types who perform onstage or on camera—may not need degrees to get living-wage work. Especially the already-established—&/or well connected. EG Melissa.
But for most desirable fields—INCLUDING off-camera jobs in entertainment/media—degrees are “preferred”.
@leahfrombklyn @gtjco Which basically means “required”.

And “the professions” definitely require degrees.
Even “midlist” fields that we don’t consider particularly aspirational—like teaching or “office work” or “middle management”—require degrees.

The answer is NOT to say “you don’t need a degree”—
@leahfrombklyn @gtjco but rather to MAKE SCHOOL AFFORDABLE AGAIN.
Without loans.
As we USED TO DO.
For a while, we made a real effort to help students through whatever postsecondary professional or occupational education best fit each person’s aptitudes.

So WTF happened? THIS:

@HananyaNaftali 10/7/23 may have happened on Biden’s watch, but Trump’s actions—including the Abraham Accords and moving the embassy to Jerusalem—may have contributed. How? By causing Palestinians to despair that there will ever be a peaceful solution that they would consider fair to themselves.
@HananyaNaftali When people see (what they would consider) a just outcome growing less and less likely by the year—and events moving more and more in the opposite direction—they sometimes decide they have nothing to lose by waging an all-out war.

Yes, even if victory seems unlikely.

SEE: ➡️
@HananyaNaftali Is Trump-style “normalization” really good?

Forget 'Peace,' Did Abraham Accords Set Stage For Israel-Gaza Conflict?
Almost every assumption that undergirded the Israel-Arab normalization agreements was disastrously wrong, and now we are paying the price.
