Please listen to me and read/spread this thread. Please.
FL Governor Ron DeSantis and TX Governor Greg Abbott, with TFG's help & many others incl. some DHS, are attempting to deliberately engineer a violent confrontation between their states and the federal government. A🧵:
1/ #DeSantis & #Abbott pull this stunt with shipping people to MA. Predictable outrage ensues, but there's an important reality here: they probably violated federal law, and I don't mean shoplifting, I'm talking multiple federal felonies. #ImmigrantsAreWelcome

You want real creative activism? Okay: someone put together an event-level PA system and stealth install it at the next announced outdoor gathering of fascists recruiting religious leaders before the event. Be sure you've got it rigged to run remotely. 1/
Then just at the point they're getting to the climax of their little orgy, showtime. Be the voice of @thegoodgodabove, or of his opposite number. With a big enough amp and enough speakers you could even shake the ground. 2/

"Federal taxes don't fund federal spending."
This is a fact, and it means we don't have to wait for Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk to approve of tax policy before implementing universal single payer health care, publicly funded higher education, or anything else.
Get with the program.
An MMT-informed economist can explain the fine details of this and all the arcane formulae and speciaized knowledge required to truly *understand* it, but that's not me. My job is to understand enough of this stuff to be satisfied it's legit, and translate the basics to laypeople

How to ID #clickbait, contrast it to genuine #activism-#MutualAid-info dissemination, and stop funding grifters: a masterclass in three tweets. Thread, [1/3]:
This is clickbait, from one of the biggest grifters in left-wing spamtivism. They pretend they're giving you important information, but what they're really doing is trolling for ad revenue via web traffic/brand ubiquity: [2/3]

"What has Joe Biden accomplished?" A thread. ->

And naturally within an hour of cashing out my crypto, every coin I owned has jumped up between 1 and 12 % after days of consistent losses.
I'm sure sick of living in a reality where the universe consistently fucks me in the most personal yet utterly random ways possible
And also I'm sorry I'm so negative. This shit's been building up for a long time - a lifetime in some ways. I'm sorry and I really don't mean to DISRESPECT anyone, but frankly for the very slim percentage of us with some wit and observational ability, it's really enraging

Listen to me now, because I'm getting out of this business and won't be doing a lot of followup.
Capitalism will ALWAYS, given its way, lead to fascism. ALWAYS. The only thing stopping any capitalist system from fascism is regulations restraining capitalism. 1/x
Profit motive is, inherently, an conflict of interest. Always. Every decision you make factoring profit is a compromise you've made on the quality of whatever you're doing. Low-bid contracting, "that one's what I want but this one's cheaper," these are all compromises. 2/x
