The only class of people who will actually benefit from these random tariff rates are trade economists desperate for plausibly exogenous sources of variation.

because no one here actually has a coherent strategy

Man is out there taxing the penguins

yup. capitalism is not some emergent superintelligence that will ruthlessly defend itself against all threats. rather its a shorthand to describe a particular arrangement of power and influence that is made up of INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE who can collectively fail to realize threats to their standing

This is excellent

Well, if you're wondering what the tariffs might mean, yesterday I wrote out a long analysis of what effect it would have on the global economy, particularly the role of China and SE Asia and our supposed geopolitical allies, and why I think this is a huge moment in the global class war

Blimey... 3 prominent Professors, @marcishore.bsky.social , @timothysnyder.bsky.social and Jason Stanley, all experts on Fascism, and critics of Trump Have left Yale University in the US for the University of Toronto in Canada, because of the actions of the Trump administration 😬

Pathetic

It's been fully memory-holed, but Marco Rubio was elected to the Senate as a Tea Party candidate. He'll back whichever tendency within the Republican Party that seems ascendant and likely to move him ahead. Right now, that's fascism.

Remember: It's legal for them to lie to you. But it's illegal for you to lie to them. You can't talk your way out of detention or arrest, but you can sure talk your way into it. Every day is STFU Friday.

Free Rumeysa Ozturk! Never Again for ANYONE!

You truly could not make it up. You could not.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

they aren’t going to stop there.

Palestinian children in Gaza are so hungry that they’re drawing pictures of food in the sand, according to a Gaza reporter, as the population is being starved by the most brutal form of Israel’s aid blockade yet for the past three weeks.

Wrote about this over a year ago, and by then it had already been obvious for months. And yet… zero introspection! www.worldpoliticsreview.com/israel-war-h...

Full fascist Nazi "rounding up the undesirables" and putting them in camps phase. Right in your face

Academics, do you have a plan for when ICE is at your classroom or office door? Sure, these are private spaces and they can’t technically enter without permission. But do you have a plan to protect your students? Or just expect them to get disappeared when class/meeting is dismissed?

We are heartbroken and outraged to learn that Alfredo "Lelo" Juarez was violently detained by ICE while dropping his partner off at work. He is reportedly being held at a private detention facility in Tacoma, Washington. 🧵

Look at the rhetorical maneuvers, at once bland and torturous, required to turn writing an op-ed about the genocide in Gaza (ie. political speech) into « engaging in activities in support of Hamas» - this is the tip of the spear and it won’t stop here without resistance from all of us

These are vile, hateful AND incompetent people. Let’s not forget they can be all the bad things at once. They reached into the candy jar of shittiness with wet hands and snatched a fistful.

I fear this will be what's called a "developing story" in the coming days... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This week, ICE kidnapped a student at Tufts who reportedly expressed opposition to genocide, a doctoral student in Alabama, and a union leader with Familias Unidas por la Justicia among several FUJ members. All this is chiefly intended to intimidate and silence in order to pave the way for fascism.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

nazis used to go out of their way to show how "humane" the conditions were in their camps, staging elaborate ruses to dispel the "myth" that their prisoners were treated harshly. now, they go out of their way to show just how sick and depraved they actually are — for the likes.

I agree with Ifill’s criticism of the NDP. The thing is, in a multi-party system you can’t all have slight variations on the same policies. Centrists lose when the claim to be conservatives; progressives lose when they try to be centrists; conservatives do well by being unabashedly conservative.

Weren’t they the ones producing that Law & Order perp walk? We thought he was fine in an orange jumpsuit 😍

you can’t even be stylish these days without being cancelled

As Tlaib pointed out, when the strikes happened — killing at least 53 people across Yemen, including over 30 civilians — they went largely ignored by lawmakers. Children were among those killed by the strikes, which Houthi officials said were a war crime. truthout.org/articles/tla...

The Bloc Québécois launches “Buy Canadian” pitch. Up is down. Left is right. Everyone is a federalist in a foxnewshole

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

why are all tesla supporters violent criminals?

Columbia University now has what we'd call a Party secretary in China, a person whose only job is to enforce the "correct" political line

far-lefties are stereotyped as angry and intolerant but if you aim a minor criticism at a liberal darling on here the whole discover feed will be in your replies like fuck you brain dead asshole moron fuckface!!! etc like damn. chill out lol

A hate crime against who?? Teslan-Americans??

Hours before he was killed by Israel, Hossam Shabat filed his last report for @dropsitenews.com, “Report from the Frontline of Israel’s War of Annihilation.” We are publishing Hossam’s story along with a deeply moving tribute to Hossam by Sharif Abdel Kouddous: www.dropsitenews.com/p/hossam-sha...
