I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

picture, it acts like smoke and mirrors to obscure the overall reality. Ie "it's only a pause" "don't take him seriously" (this reminds me so much of people who tell victims of abuse "you just misunderstand the person/we don't take you or your needs seriously, you are irrelevant". 🧵3

These apologists inevitably fall back on tactics including gaslighting, abuse enabling and outright cognitive dysfunction as well as "sandboxing". Frequently you will see them isolate some minor point and explain why this is harmless or misunderstood, but by isolating this point from the overall 🧵2

The Trump administration & supporters are excited about their "massive deportation plan". I wonder if any of them have figured out the (clearly going 2b significant) cost economically & who will pay for it? 1. Loss of cheap labour 2. Massive increase in personel 3. Transport costs (staff & aliens)
