This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

BREAKING: China announced countermeasures by raising tariffs on U.S. goods from 84% to 125% starting Saturday.

so much of the fascist movement country is supported by the belief that parents own their children and have a right to ensure they turn out a specific way

Reactionary stereotypes about poor people have not appreciably changed since the Victorian Era.

France could recognise Palestinian state ‘in June’, says Emmanuel Macron – Middle East crisis live

Not even barely disguised insider trading.

Gonna be wild when Trump starts sending his political opponents to El Salvador. But that's where we're headed. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Insider trading is just one of his official duties

Straight. Up. Nazi. Shit.

Stealing tax money from our cities and states to send checks to farmers for growing no food (now that they can't sell it due to the self-inflicted trade war). They did this in Trump's first term too and farmers LOVED him for it.

NEW Economist/YouGov Poll, April 5-8 43% of U.S. adult citizens have a favorable view of Donald Trump 54% have an unfavorable view Net -11 Last week: 45% favorable 52% unfavorable Net -7 d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

It’s important to note in both instances xenophobia and white supremacy fueled the push for both outcomes.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

We’re not just cooked. We’re burned to a crisp and the oven caught on fire and the house is burning down.

Ok what’s going on here? Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down. Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset. Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it. Means the world may be abandoning America. We are flirting with a true crisis.

The US 30-Year Treasury is now the Tesla of bonds.

Folks....... this sucks

This is so much worse than Brexit.

I don't want to hear shit about "fiscal responsibility" ever the fuck again.

Every basis point (0.01%) costs US—you, me, your neighbors, your family, your friends—an additional $100 million a year in debt service. Trump is costing us BILLIONS of dollars in debt service payments that could go to healthcare, education, etc. OUR money. HIS folly.

gentlemen, it has been an honour sharing a global economy with you

This is literally how the Holocaust started, and honestly I'm tired of saying so

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

Reddit is flooded with small businesses owners getting crushed by tariffs — devastated by the thought of raising prices, firing workers, or closing up shop entirely.

“De-extinction” is to biodiversity loss what “Mars colonization” is to climate change—wishful thinking that is at its core impossible but nevertheless sucks up attention and resources from actual solutions to these crises (which, ultimately, might be the whole point)

Again, this is how you know the whole DOGE thing is absolute bullshit. We’re apparently on the brink of financial ruin at all times when it comes to Social Security or healthcare or college in this country while simultaneously there’s infinite money when it comes to war.

Who needs fluoride when this has “disease prevention” right in the name?

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I think the funniest thing about the Ted Cruz Curse is he really won’t confine it to just a couple of teams; if you are a Texas school and you have a big game, there is a decent chance Ted is rolling in wearing your polo and bringing your doom with him

Another victim for the Zodiac Killer.

He did it again bsky.app/profile/hous...

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

honestly no championship-winning teams should ever go to the white house, fuck those people ever do for you

Biodiversity loss is not just about species going extinct. It’s about ecosystems quietly losing their richness, resilience and functions. theconversation.com/...

stocks briefly rallied on Monday after CNBC ran a Citigroup ad featuring a purple haired lesbian and investors speculated that Woke is being restored

Trump has a Panopticon

INSANE market action right now. Market exploded higher on a headline attributed to Kevin Hassett. And now nobody can figure out where it came from and the markets are diving again. An 8% surge and then a 3.5% plunge in a matter of seconds

The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money

I’m not doomscrolling I’m just crashing my emotional stock market

Hi. Books are incredibly important. Please let them be.
