Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Trump’s Tariffs Have Nothing to Do with Economics—They’re About Control They’re about power and authoritarianism. What Trump is doing is using tariffs the same way authoritarian leaders use taxes and subsidies: to reward loyalty and punish dissent. Here’s how it works: He

Can you imagine the uproar if President Biden skipped a dignified transfer of 4 dead U.S. soldiers to play golf instead, while at the same time, millions of 401Ks were being wiped out by his tariffs? MAGA would DEMAND impeachment. But for trump? Crickets.

There's a dark truth behind Trump's tariffs: Absolute control.

EVERYBODY WATCH THIS. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #HandsOffOurSchools

"He'll have to confront his maker for those lies." Dr. Peter Marks speaks out for the first time, exclusively to Erin Burnett after RFK, jr. told him to resign or be fired. Hear why he thinks RFK’s position on vaccines is "dangerous."

CNN put together a collection of clips of Trump complaining about Democratic presidents playing golf

The climate crisis is on track to destroy capitalism, a top insurer has warned, with the vast cost of extreme weather impacts leaving the financial sector unable to operate. theguardian.com/environment/20…

In what fucking world was Trump ever competent to be president of the United States. This is a rhetorical question. 😡😡😡👇

Portugal shut down their last remaining coal fired power plant and is fostering a renewable energy revolution. They could be completely renewable by 2040 if not sooner. It can be done. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

Wow. CNN’s Fareed Zakaria just broke down how Trump’s tariffs will unleash unprecedented levels of corruption and do extreme damage to the American economy. You have to watch this.

Has the world made progress on climate change over the past decade? No. Emissions are still rising. Capitalism has set up 2.5-4°C hell within a few decades.

This is huge 👀 A record-high 48% of US adults anticipate that global warming will pose a serious threat to themselves or their way of life, up from 44% a year ago and 25% in 1997. When that number crosses 50%, we'll finally see some real action. #ClimateChange

Over the past 100 years, science and research have become the building blocks of America’s extraordinary strength. In less than 100 days, President Trump has undermined that strength — and opened the door for China, with its growing scientific prowess, to be the beneficiary. My

CO₂ at Mauna Loa just reached a monthly average of >430 ppm for the first time. That's possibly higher than in over 3.3 million years. The global RATE of increase is off the chart. It's hard to exaggerate how unprecedented this is!

Today's Berardelli Bonus... Earth's CO2 hit a new milestone in May - 430 parts per million. Our best science tells us it's the highest in 14 million yrs & the rate of growth is ~100X natural. For the past 10K years CO2 was steady at 280ppm, but our Goldilocks climate is now done

Let's save some lives: wordinblack.com/2025/06/extrem… Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” eliminates needed programs and resources to keep people safe from #ExtremeHeat. In the last decade, heat waves cost us $1.1 TRILLION and 21,500 lives. But sure, let’s keep debating if climate emergencies

Humanity's true situation is surreal in the extreme. Most people will just dismiss it out-of-hand because it bears no relation whatsoever to their own understanding. 100ppm CO2-equivalent caused 7 degrees C of global warming during the last deglaciation. Humans have now added
