This is terrible.
Growth without fair distribution is quite literally a rigged economy.

The MAGA ideology looks at America and sees carnage and darkness and despair.
I see an America with an unlimited future.
An America that is about to take off.

Russian propagandist began to advertise soviet concentration camps and prepare for "re-education". He states that Gulag is better than Auschwitz, because there "you retained your individuality" 🤦♀️

In reality, the 2020 election was not stolen.
In reality, Russia commits atrocities in Ukraine.
In reality, the Disinformation Governance Board was not at all involved in censorship.

Rushing out a last ditch strategy hours before leaving office is chaotic, insulting and does nothing to provide reassurance to thousands of people facing a long hard winter.

It's estimated that two-thirds of families could fall into fuel poverty by January.
By freezing energy prices now, we can ensure households don't pay a penny more this winter on their energy bills.
That is what Labour would do now to get a grip on this cost of living crisis.

1/2: In 2020, Trump called Democrats "fascists" in '20 while surrounded by military officials.
No one remembers it bc Dems didn't feel threatened by his false claim.
Today, MAGA Republicans are angry at President Biden for a similar remark. Because they know it's true.

Putin just switched off Nordstream 1. 6/10 British factories face closure due to rising energy bills. Russia is waging energy war against Europe. Energy nationalisation/price caps are not "anti-capitalism" - they're a way to save the private sector & defend democracy.

It's not just SMEs, pubs, sole traders: 6/10 UK •factories• will shutter due to rising energy bills. Golden shares, Big Five nationalisation and wholesale price caps - national and international - are the only way out of this...

Michael Tracey stopped responding to me after this, which is a shame because he’d already raised about 500 bucks for the Ukrainian armed forces before he had even got out of bed.

Michael every time you quote tweet or respond to me in any manner I'm going to donate $50 to Ukraine, and pledge that my followers do the same. Remember when you spent 2 days on here crying because I was published by Rolling Stone? Fun times, let's turn it into a fundraiser.

This gives us all a chance that we will still be able to achieve a solution to the climate crisis in the interests of all humanity, not only fittest. But in order for this to become a reality, it is necessary to force rich countries to help poor countries more.

But Ukrainians didn't give up, we decided to resist. The failure of the Russian offensive became a signal for everyone in the world to be more careful with the ideas of "special military operations".

MAGA Republicans in Congress view the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6 as patriots.
On the anniversary of the violent insurrection, Congressman Matt Gaetz said “We’re proud of the work that we did on January 6 to make legitimate arguments about election integrity.”

Biden doubling down on MAGA extremism in a barnstormer...
Quote Tweet
While the threat to America is real, we are not powerless in the face of these threats.
There are far more Americans of every background and belief who reject the extreme MAGA ideology than those who accept it.

For a long time, we’ve reassured ourselves that American democracy is guaranteed. But it is not.
We have to defend it.
Protect it.
Stand up for it.
That’s why tonight, I am asking the nation to come together and unite behind this single purpose – of saving our democracy.

MAGA Republican is much much better than “populist.” But I fear it doesn’t convey the nature or the severity of the threat.
