Trump’s new tariffs aren’t a trade tweak—they’re the first move in a full-spectrum reset. $9.2T in debt matures in 2025. Inflation lingers. Alliances are shifting. One announcement just set a dozen wheels in motion. Here’s what’s really happening—and why it matters 🧵

capitalism frames sustainability as a "personal choice" while fossil fuel companies collect $7 million in subsidies every minute. this isn't about your choice of straw — it's about power.

economics textbooks talk about "externalities" as if they're inconsequential. but externalities are making our planet unlivable. climate change isn't a market failure... it's a natural consequence of growth-based capitalism.

do you realize how much money you could have made if you had advance notice of Trump’s tariff announcements?!? the amount of profit made by Trump’s inner circle from insider trading this week must be f*cking astronomical

israel’s plan to annex gaza makes it VERY clear: this has always been a genocide. ethnic cleansing has always been the ultimate goal.

United Healthcare is being sued by its shareholders — and it’s a perfect example of what’s wrong with our economic system.

elon musk & other billionaires want us to worry about “population collapse.” don’t be fooled — a declining population would mean less poverty, less stress on the environment, and more power for workers.

Reminder: after ~$20k GDP per person, more economic growth doesn’t measurably improve wellbeing. What DOES improve lives? 💡 Full employment 💡 Strong social safety nets 💡 Free public services (transportation, healthcare etc) 💡 Relationships with others in our communities
