Good economic policy would be to craft laws to incentivize companies to manufacture their products in America and de-incentivize those companies from outsourcing their manufacturing to avoid paying living wages to Americans. Bad economic policy is everything Trump & the GOP has done since January.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

The US had a trade-weighted average tariff rate of 2.2% in 2023, compared with 2.7% for the EU, 1.9% in Japan, 3.4% for Canada, 3% for China and 1.7% for Switzerland -- hardly a huge disparity. @anaswanson.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

multiple issues here: -it’s unamerican and unconstitutional for the federal govt—and certainly the executive on its own, arbitrarily and in secret—to create a speech code for visa holders -even if that was permissible, suddenly accosting her in the street and abducting her is wildly disproportionate

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a “forest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy. Three main reasons the fire exploded: 1. Drought-like conditions 2. Very low relative humidity 3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph (Video by Stuart Palley)
