"There were long periods in the Trump admin where we had no Sec of Defense. We only had 'acting' officials to dodge oversight. Esper stepped down saying he won't be Trump's 'yes-man'. Esper's not a good guy, so you have to think -- what *wouldn't* he do?"

"Trump is surrounded by Iran war-mongers including rapture fiend Mike Pompeo, who is planning to meet with Netanyahu. Netanyahu is an indicted PM who Israelis have been protesting for twenty weeks. Trump and Netanyahu are both imperiled." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"I'm worried about war in Iran. I'm also worried about arms sales, and if Trump and his cohort are selling them, where they're going. Trump has a long history with illegal arms traders and is tied to the world's most dangerous mobsters." -- @gaslitnation

"Trump has a tremendous amount of debt. While in office, he and Kushner have made illicit foreign deals to pay off that debt. There are no limits to what they will do now. Never forget that this is the mafia." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"Another big concern regarding Trump's new military obsession is what @leahmcelrath calls 'annihilatory rage'. As a narcissistic sociopath, Trump will not be able to handle losing and will lash out in violent, frightening ways." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"Trump has been obsessed with nuclear weapons his entire life. He is a fatalist who believes the world will end in nuclear annihilation. He's said, 'If we have nukes, why not use them?' And he's the only American who can launch a nuke." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"You know how old folks have a bucket list of things they want to do before they die, like 'I wanna go sky-diving' or 'I want to go to Europe'? Launching a nuke may be Trump's bucket list wish. He has 70 days left until he can't do it." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"When Biden gets into office*, Congress needs to pass the bill Ted Lieu proposed preventing any president from having the unilateral ability to launch a nuclear weapon." -- @gaslitnation

* spare me the "Dont you mean *if* Biden gets in" takes, please

We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this.

The community’s response? Outrage.


Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.

When we talk about bringing jobs to the community, we need to dig deep:
- Has the company promised to hire in the existing community?
- What’s the quality of jobs + how many are promised? Are these jobs low-wage or high wage? Are there benefits? Can people collectively bargain?

Displacement is not community development. Investing in luxury condos is not the same thing as investing in people and families.

Shuffling working class people out of a community does not improve their quality of life.

We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism.

It’s possible to establish economic partnerships w/ real opportunities for working families, instead of a race-to-the-bottom competition.
