I keep telling my academic friends to turn their books into short pamphlets and to hand those out for free in their communities. I excerpted a chapter from a friend's book last year, made it into a zine, and so far I've distributed 400 hard copies and it's also available for digital download.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

You saw this during the pandemic. Companies will take any excuse to raise prices. Remember when so many companies blamed supply chains? Guess what they're gonna blame again? This'll likely result in the US gov implementing a department just to combat price-push inflation AKA "bad policy"

So yeah if the CPC loses the election, here’s the main reason why: refusing to see that the uncertainty (and, in fact, the whole crisis) is entirely the creation of the White House. Trump enjoys uncertainty because it makes him feel powerful. He’s been explicit about it. CUSMA/USMCA is his deal.

Wikler: Musk deleted that tweet because he knows that that tweet was a crime, and it's still a crime in Wisconsin law. It is plain as day. You cannot promise something of value in order to induce someone to vote or refrain from voting. This is Wisconsin statute, and it's a felony to cross that line.

Trump: "To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. We don't need anything they have. As a state it would be one of the great states. This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it."

If you haven't yet watched HBO's "The Plot Against America" it's based on the 2004 novel by Philip Roth which was written long before Trump decided to descend that golden escalator. Watching/reading it in 2025 will give you goosebumps. youtu.be/RwMwrft7So8
