"Understanding Trump’s ‘Take Back’ Panama Canal Threat" If you did not know, it seemed strange. #Women #Epstein It wasn’t geopolitics. It was communication to Panama’s leadership—a gag order. No revealing Trump’s ties to Panama, beyond public record. Panama quiet since. Not in the news.🧵

You’re not wrong. Combine worry with the fact that people aren’t uncomfortable enough yet. I think there’s a lot of bystander syndrome going on too. Plus there’s still way too many people that are happy to lick boots for the promise of a crumb from the regime and their billionaire overlords.

It’s a great idea, but we need a lot more local organization and safety nets for people for it to work. Most folks do this, their job is gone. Which means their healthcare is gone. No food or rent money either. The system is designed to hinder exactly this as much as possible.

I’d go a step farther and say fingers crossed we have legit elections in 2026. The regime won’t outright shut them down yet, but when Dems poll well in competitive spots, you’re going to see all sorts of fuckery. Investigations, false charges, threats of deportation, etc. Like in NYC right now.

This is what happens when people that don’t understand any of those things are put in charge of those things. The idiots in the current regime aren’t bright enough or self-aware enough to think, “I don’t know much about . I should talk to an expert that does before I make a decision.”
