Because you have two homes?

owning a small business in 2025…

ICE may have deleted it, but you should NEVER forget that they posted it. This administration is mounting a full-scale assault on freedom of thought and expression (not to mention the rule of law), the likes and brazenness of which we have not seen before.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

It's always these religious sick fucks and not LGBTQ people.

They did it to "Own a Lib" and just got owned themselves.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face. For that he didn't get fired, but he did get a peerage.

June 2024: Nigel Farage doubles down on support for Andrew Tate. Why does Farage support a sexual predator accused of rape & human trafficking? One plausible reason is that both are cogs in Russia's influence network. But to approve of a brutal sexual predator? www.thenational.scot/news/2440437...

The statement by the team of Columbia University graduate and legal green card holder Mahmoud Khalil is heartbreaking. Anyone who cares about freedom of speech should be against the Louisiana judge ruling to deport him.

Killer sign. A+++ sign

In these times of freaking out about the US balance in merchandise trade, it’s worth remembering that if you buy a physical copy of Edward’s book it’s a “good”, but the e-book is a “service”

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

Cycling on the road can feel like being in the Zimbardo prison experiment: it's an environment where people are given power over others with almost no accountability. In that situation, many show their worst selves

I installed the first one of these in England Glasgow was first in the UK). The cost is obviously peanuts compared to all of the stuff installed to control and manage people driving. A little gimmicky? Perhaps, but it's nice to be able to either put a foot on it or hold on.

HAPPENING NOW: Following the Supreme Court's decision requiring the government to "facilitate" the release of Abrego Garcia, a hearing before Judge Paula Xinis is about to begin. I'm in Greenbelt, Maryland for @lawfare.bsky.social Follow along for updates

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

This was three months ago.

They are obviously slow learners

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

Metropolis Cycles owner Brad Parker has pre-ordered a year's worth of chains before prices go up and is bracing for higher costs from major distributors bikeportland.org/2025/04/10/a...

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.

One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....

The thing is, this is entirely believable... #FuckTrump #DementiaDon

MTG dabbling in insider trading now too

"Given that the US economy is entirely dependent on Chinese sources for vital goods (pharmaceutical stocks, cheap electronic chips, critical minerals) it's wildly reckless not to ensure alternate suppliers/adequate domestic production before cutting off trade" www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

This was the best explainer video of #Musk 's #POE2 fraud a couple months ago. Might seem meaningless... But it reveals the extent in which #Musk lies. And this was the moment the whole gaming community realised it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmEe...

9:30 pm PST. INSIDER TRADING. The S&P gained $4.7 trillion in less than an hour today. Some people got in on the action early. Let me show you what that looks like, minute by minute.

UN-natural Variation: the Elephant in the Room tamino.wordpress.com/2025/04/09/u...

All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

Thing that everyone predicted would happen happens.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

How many times, in how many countries, do we have to go through the same dynamic, with the same result.

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

Yep: Researchers commissioned by TfL found that 78% of disabled people are able to cycle. And 64% of respondents to a 2021 @wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk survey reported that, for them, cycling is easier than walking. The notion that no disabled people can cycle, do cycle or want to cycle is a myth.
