The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

When we're done with all of this, we should really get rid of: - the two party system - the presidency - the US Senate If we had a parlimentary, multi-party system, we could have elections in months to remove this clearly insane guy from office. Instead, we have to wait almost three years.

Things are going great.
The line graph shows the change in the S&P 500 index during the first 250 days since the inauguration of various U.S. presidents. Different colored lines represent each president's term: George W. Bush (2nd term) in red, Barack Obama (1st term) in blue and (2nd term) in green, Donald Trump (1st term) in purple and (2nd term) in brown, and Joe Biden in orange. The y-axis represents the change in the S&P 500, while the x-axis shows days since inauguration. Joe Biden's term shows the most significant increase, while Donald Trump's 2nd term experienced a sharp decline early on.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.
