@maziehirono Correct and straight to the point. Which makes these financed and organized NGO events pretty comical

Donald Trump is not, never will be, and has never been a king. #NoKings

They put forth bills to pay TSA 9 times and the republicans voted against them
Big Fish@BigFish3000
AOC and Bernie Sanders will not pay TSA agents but fly first class on tax payers dollars. Agents make around 45,000 a year.

@RepMcGovern Animated like little puppets via out of country funding and organization via NGOs

Understand the difference.
Those who peacefully protest Trump today love America. We hate what he is doing to America.
When you love something, you fight for it.
No kings. Not today. Not ever 🇺🇸

@AdamMcfee @ThomasJCarcetti "Why are they all NGOs" well the government isn't going to fund protests against itself now is it
English
Yeah, Trump’s presidency is basically disintegrating and the economy is about to enter into recession. It’s a perfect time for couldn’t-get-tenure three-named academics to shit on well-meaning liberal protesters who have been right about everything.

The "No Kings" protests feel especially pointless today.

🚨THE PROTEST HAS GONE GLOBAL:
WOW! A massive number of protestors have gathered in LONDON, ENGLAND to join in solidarity with the No Kings day protests.
Today we stand with our friends in the UK!

It’s fun getting blocked by folks that pretend to not understand logic and situational awareness

@IAmPoliticsGirl I mean sure, it was five for five but I thought there more actual senators
English
Nope. The Senate passed a bill to fund EVERYTHING except ICE, who already HAVE funding. They passed it UNANIMOUSLY. Take this up with Mike Johnson who refused to bring the bill to the House floor for a vote.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
The Senate must reconvene Immediately A staggering 260,000 DHS employees and their families have gone without pay for more than a month This is not a time for any Senate recess—let alone an unusually long one Nor was it a good time to recess a month ago—at the beginning of the DHS shutdown—when the Senate recessed for ten days, ignoring my stern warnings about the dire consequences that decision would produce As it turns out, I was right; what I warned would happen has happened To double down on the same mistake now—and recess for not just for one week but for two—would be unforgivable Bad things happen when we make bad decisions And bad decisions are far more likely to occur when scheduling decisions are prompted more by a desire to let senators leave Washington—whether for international travel or just to go home—than to achieve favorable policy outcomes

@MilesTaylorUSA Who funds and organizes all these grass roots events and why are they all NGO’s?

You correctly identified one manipulation and immediately deployed five of your own.
“Parasites.” “Hoard.” “Exploit.”
That is not analysis.
That is a dehumanization frame designed to make wealth extraction feel like justice so the math never has to appear.
Senator Murray omitted the benefit cap. You omitted the policy entirely. She used half a structural equation. You replaced the equation with an enemy class.
The Soviet Union called them kulaks. The French Revolution called them aristocrats.
The mechanism is identical regardless of the target.
Define the class. Strip them of complexity. Assign collective guilt.
Now any extraction is not just legal it is moral. No policy design required.
You spotted patriotic manipulation from one direction.
You are running class propaganda from the other.
The technique does not become honest because you agree with the conclusion.
I didnt vote for him@BirdChayser
@DutchRojas You mean the same “patriotic” manipulation that the GOP uses for every single thing. Miss me with this. Billionaires once a billionaire are a parasite on society. They no longer add value but only extract and hoard wealth. They have all exploited people and laws on the way.

Senator Patty Murray posted this yesterday. Every number in it is accurate. The post is still a lie.
Here is the technique.
The Social Security wage cap is real. Earnings above $184,000 are not subject to the 12.4% payroll tax. A billionaire does pay a fraction of a percent in effective Social Security tax rate. The math is correct.
What Senator Murray did not post:
Social Security benefits are also capped. High earners do not collect more because they do not pay more. The contribution cap and the benefit cap are the same architectural decision. You cannot lift one without addressing the other.
A billionaire who pays 0.002% into Social Security also collects the same capped benefit as everyone else above the threshold. The system was designed this way deliberately.
She presented half of a structural equation as if it were the complete picture.
This is called cherry-picking wrapped in perception management. It’s designed to manipulate the audience.
The numbers are real. The picture they produce is false.
The sophistication of the technique is that correcting it requires more words than deploying it.
Senator Murray needed three sentences.
This post needed three paragraphs. That asymmetry is not accidental. It is the whole point.
When someone shows you accurate numbers that produce an outraged conclusion, ask what is not in the frame.
Senator Patty Murray@PattyMurray
If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

@SissyJade @Acyn When did I cheer on violence? And what laws are they not following?
English
@AdamMcfee @Acyn How about looking at the side where ICE wouldn’t have protesters if they followed the laws ICE always followed since inception. Only MAGA is trying to murder people in their own homes. You cheer on the violence. Every post from MAGA screams they deserve it.
English
@SissyJade @Acyn These are ops and the participants are cannon fodder. The goal is exactly what happened. Get someone hurt or shot for being stupid to smear law enforcement and label them gestapo and nazis to make it ok for them to be killed.
English
@AdamMcfee @Acyn How about all these arrests? You good with harassing citizens because they watch ICE commit crimes? This is a run up to ALL LEO’s doing the same & living in a police state. How about imposters sex trafficking women?
English
@SissyJade @Acyn “Watch”? They actively insert themselves. Whatever you believe, actively inserting yourself in an operation with armed agents is beyond stupid. Also the operational set up of these just totally normal citizens “watching” is highly coordinated.
