It's beyond any doubt that Trump has rejected diplomacy and seeks to forcibly eliminate Iran's regime, sending one clear lesson for world: If you have a nuclear weapon, you are safe from potential U.S. attack, and if you don’t have a nuclear weapon, you are vulnerable. trib.al/G74To44

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

Some major media are saying “tens of thousands” took part in the hands-off rallies. In the Minnesota capital alone, there were 25,000. Across the U.S there were 1,300+ rallies, some enormous, some smaller. CNN says millions took part, so why are so many media still saying just “tens of thousands”?

It's fun how capitalists say "we can't have socialism because people don't trust the state!" Mate, we don't trust the state because it is captured by capital and serves the interest of the capitalist class. It is precisely *because* of capitalism that no one trusts the state.
