Opinion: Emerging markets are often characterised by uncertain economics, corrupt politics, institutions that are too weak to enforce democratic norms, violence and social polarisation. The US has been heading in that direction since 2016 www.ft.com/content/e7a0...

A literal fucking space race. In this economy. FFS these people make me vomit. www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

NPR first reported on the case of Charles Givens, a disabled inmate at Virginia's Marion Correctional Treatment Center, in 2023. Four corrections officers were accused of beating him to death and a fifth accused of negligence. Givens' sister, Kymberly Hobbs, sued the five men.

They’re using the hostages to try and justify their anti-democratic movement. Not in our name

“We want to zero out the trade deficit with every country and we also want to maintain reserve currency status”

This is performance. The Administration is purposely being awful to cover up their incompetence. They said they would deport 16 million illegal immigrants. At this rate it would take another 40 years. The ugliness is to hide their incompetence.

Without clear protocols to catch errors, artificial intelligence’s growing role in science could do more harm than good https://go.nature.com/42nGQt6

You can tell what Bernie is doing is working because it’s making the New York post furious

It was a mistake to give him immunity and allow him to be lawless. Who will enforce court orders of there are no consequences? www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

We’re loosing good scientists already. But I understand and wish @planet4589.bsky.social best of luck and success across the pond.

Dems in Congress, universities, Big Law, corporations who keep trying appeasement hoping it will work: you fuckers had better think about how that will work out for you in the post-Tr*mp era, bc we will not forget who capitulated and who held the line.

Zeteo warned about Project Esther six months ago. As with Project 2025, everything that was promised by the far right is coming to pass. zeteo.com/p/project-es...

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

After a three-day visit by the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump appeared to confirm that US military personnel had been deployed to the Central American country on Thursday, telling reporters: “We’ve moved a lot of troops to Panama.”

www.cnn.com/2025/04/12/u... CNN has the video of her arrest under “CNN shorts”. It’s awful.

This is the direct result of both-sidesism and uncritical fascist fluffing, @nytimes.com

US Violates Panama Panamanian leaders accused the US of a “camouflaged invasion” Trump “We’ve moved a lot of troops to Panama.” By treaty, no foreign power can “maintain military forces, defense sites and military installations within its national territory” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

“Hush now, be still. Soon you shall be one of us.”

“Exclusively to Twitter” - just makes open corruption and conflicts of interest with the Trump administration and Musk. What they imagined about Soros is real life on steroids with Musk.

It looks like Canada’s biggest grocery store chain is going to be paying $500 million to Canadians who bought bread between 2001 and 2021. That’s a 20 year period of price fixing BREAD. Anyway the Weston’s are criminals and billionaires are deadly. Eat the rich, and then some bread.

What Dems need to be doing now is registering voters at the rallies and setting up mechanisms so those already registered have the documents they need to vote. Challenging the new law’s legality is also good.

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.

This is how you stand up and defend democracy. 👏🏼💙

The New York Times can’t stop doing puff pieces on fascists.

Breaking news: The U.S. Department of Energy today announced it is unilaterally cutting in half the overhead rate on its academic grants, something that a federal judge recently told the National Institutes of Health it could not do.

“Did an Israeli Oct. 7 Witness Tell ‘Many Lies’ About Rape and Sexual Violence?” From Prem Thakker: An Israeli reporter says Rami Davidian, a key source in Sheryl Sandberg’s Oct. 7 documentary, told ‘hair-raising stories that never, ever occurred.’ Read/share/subscribe:

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Not sure how these people sleep at night

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

the other day @adamtooze.bsky.social laid out a nightmare scenario. We're edging closer to it. Very much recommend reading his post: adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

159 years ago today, Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for speeding for the first time

The bond market shows capital flight from the United States, with people selling off US debt. It’s the opposite of what usually happens during economic turmoil, when people buy US debt because they think it’s the safest asset in the world. The US-led global economic system is dead. By suicide.

Just because it’s satire, doesn’t mean it’s not true.
