🚨 To summarize: Trump is allowed to argue for dismissal. Sentencing is delayed for now. The case is still active, and this is NOT a final resolution. Stay tuned for updates as we head into December’s motion filings. 🕵️‍♂️

100

Trump’s sentencing—originally scheduled for Nov. 26, 2024—has been adjourned. 🚨 This doesn’t mean he won’t be sentenced, but it’s been temporarily delayed until the court rules on the motions.

100

The court has postponed its decision on another motion Trump filed under CPL § 330.30(1). This motion likely addresses legal issues post-conviction or pre-sentencing. The court will review this after receiving the required filings.

100

A motion schedule has been set: Trump must submit his motion by Dec. 2, 2024. The prosecution (NY District Attorney) must respond by Dec. 9, 2024. The court will NOT accept additional replies after these filings.

100

Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss the charges under CPL § 210.40 has been granted. 🚨 Important: This doesn’t mean the charges are dismissed. It simply allows him to argue why the case should be dismissed. The court will decide after reviewing the filings.

Breaking: A New York court has ruled on several motions in Donald Trump’s case involving 34 felony counts. Here’s what the decision means for his case 🧵

This content is so much better than, “They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the dogs.”

The bottom line: Support Ukraine or let them rearm—it’s that simple. Silence on this debate isn’t an answer. Let’s stop pretending we can ignore this. If you oppose funding Ukraine, be ready to explain why they shouldn’t defend themselves through strength.

Why this matters: Our commitments matter. Breaking them undermines not just Ukraine, but global stability. Either we honor the Budapest Memorandum with financial and military support—or we accept a world where countries like Ukraine must arm themselves for survival.

130

To those opposing aid: You don’t want to send money, yet you won’t support Ukraine defending itself with nukes. What’s your plan? Leaving Ukraine vulnerable invites further Russian aggression and destabilizes Europe. The U.S. cannot afford to signal weakness on the global stage.

The bigger picture: Abandoning Ukraine risks global chaos. It signals to countries like Iran or North Korea that nuclear weapons are the only path to security. A nuclear Ukraine might stabilize the region, but it risks triggering a global arms race.

A nuclear Ukraine? If we stop funding Ukraine, the logical solution is to allow them to defend themselves. A nuclear arsenal would deter Russia and create a stalemate. Isn’t that the essence of “peace through strength”?

Why the silence? MAGA and many in the GOP complain about sending money to Ukraine. But here’s a question: If you don’t want to fund them, why not let them rearm? Let Ukraine have nukes to defend itself. When I say this, the conversation often goes silent. Why is there no response?

What’s at stake? Ukraine disarmed for peace. If we abandon them now, the message to the world is clear: giving up nukes is a mistake. This undermines global trust in disarmament and encourages other nations to pursue nuclear weapons as their only reliable defense.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Why does America support Ukraine? In 1994, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, giving up the world’s 3rd largest nuclear arsenal. In exchange, the U.S., U.K., and Russia guaranteed its sovereignty. The logic was simple: disarmament in exchange for security.

We tried to warn. And yet the press “fact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025—because he said he wouldn’t. Insane.

Media Matters post about Project 2025 architect Russ Vought returning to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Vought is a leading proponent of using Schedule F to fire thousands of federal workers and replace them with MAGA loyalists.

TL;DR: These tariffs hurt before they help. We’d face higher prices, supply chain disruptions, job losses, and a weakened economy immediately. Manufacturing takes years to recover—if it even does. Tariffs hurt first, and recovery isn’t guaranteed. 🚨 #Economics #Tariffs

120

Global Isolation 🌍 Imposing tariffs on all imports damages our relationships with allies. It pushes them to trade more with rivals like China. The U.S. risks isolating itself economically and politically in the long term.

Manufacturing Gains Aren’t Immediate 🏗️ Building factories and reshoring production takes years. In the meantime, we’d pay more for goods without alternatives. The economy doesn’t just snap back—it’s a long, uncertain process.

100

Economic Slowdown Risk 📉 Tariffs are like a tax hike on everyone. Higher prices mean less spending power, which reduces demand and slows the economy. Combined with retaliation, this could lead to a recession before any manufacturing gains materialize.

100

Job Losses in Other Industries 💼 Retailers, logistics workers, and industries tied to imports would lose jobs as trade slows down. Tariffs don’t just affect manufacturers—they hurt the broader economy, especially sectors not tied to domestic production.

100

Retaliation Hurts Farmers and Exporters 🌾 Other countries won’t just accept these tariffs. They’ll retaliate with tariffs on U.S. goods like agriculture, machinery, and energy. Farmers and manufacturers who depend on exports will take a huge hit.

100

Supply Chains Will Suffer 🔄 U.S. businesses rely on imported parts to make products. Tariffs mean higher costs for these components, forcing businesses to raise prices or cut production. This disrupts supply chains overnight, hurting companies AND consumers.

100

Prices Will Skyrocket 📈 Tariffs are taxes on imports, and companies pass those costs to consumers. Everyday goods—electronics, clothes, food—will become much more expensive. Lower-income families will feel this the most, as necessities will cost more.

Trump’s proposed 60% tariff on Chinese goods and 20% on all other imports would hurt the economy before any manufacturing gains could be realized. Let me break down how this would affect us immediately. 🧵👇

Now that Nazis and Proud Boys have invaded Springfield, Ohio and Trump won the election (and won the city by 150 votes) their Haitian community is already fleeing. I'm sure the factories will just hire Nazis and Proud Boys.

Trump had a collection of Hitler speeches next to his bed. We can joke that it may be the only book he has ever read cover to cover, but it means he *studied* Hitler’s tools for commanding his audience and bringing them over to his side, tactics he has used successfully over and over again.

Elon Musk's X is hemorrhaging users to Threads and Bluesky. Welcome to the era of social media fragmentation

"On election day last week, X had only 162 million daily users—and even that was a yearly high, according to Sensor Tower, a market intelligence firm that tracks the platform. A day later, that number had already dropped by 5 million, to 157 million daily users." fortune.com/2024/11/14/x...

Many high-profile X users are leaving after Elon Musk's efforts to elect Donald Trump, adding to a new era of fragmented social media.

Looks like Nate Silvers’s prediction is getting closer as Trump is at 50% now down from 50.2% and about to drop below. This means that more than 50% voted against Trump. It wasn’t a mandate.
