Middle to lower class women’s health. The Ivankas, Melanias, Marie Antoinette’s will get on a private jet, go to somewhere like Switzerland for the best possible care & most advanced science-based treatments. The US war on women is predominantly a class war. There’s a war on men, too.

"This U.S.-backed plan echoes almost entirely the plan Russian operatives presented to Trump’s 2016 campaign manager Paul Manafort in exchange for helping Trump win the White House. Russia had invaded Ukraine in 2014 and was looking for a way to grab the land it wanted without continuing to fight."

A week doesn't go by that I don't imagine Ukraine greatly, deeply, bitterly regrets giving up the third-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, in exchange for security guarantees from UK, Europe and the US.

Another day, another 💩 "The privileged can buy their way out of trouble by giving Trump money. Corporations can exploit and defraud consumers with increasing impunity. But if you’re a regular person? You’re not just on your own. These days, you’re a target." www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-weap...

Japanese netizens are shocked by a tweet from the US Embassy declaring that Japanese people applying for non-immigrant visas must provide information on all social media accounts they have used in the last 5 years [or their visas could be rejected]. Some are comparing it to China & North Korea.

Just got a call that we are not near-death vulnerable enough to voluntarily get a spring Covid booster. Not even healthcare workers are eligible. Instead a fig leaf of care for the severely immunocompromised & elderly who will be exposed to greater numbers of unvaccinated loads of potential virus.

My impression of life in Germany was it shares in the worst impulses of the US. I have somewhat softened that impression and then my inbox reminds me that Berlin is deporting EU citizens who have not been convicted of any crimes www.20percent.berlin/i/161857790/...

WHAT DOES TRUMP EVEN GET FROM FIRING JEROME POWELL? In today's newsletter, I went long on the question of what really backs the US dollar, and how I don't even see the short-term win if Powell attempts to sack the Fed chair Sub here to the newsletter: www.bloomberg.com/account/news...

Helped the littlest kid in the Iveagh gardens find 4 large chocolate eggs as we walked through. They went silent when I asked if I could keep the next one I found. Walked on and had an interesting discussion about today’s parenting skills.

Will European reactions be predictably mercantilistic, I wonder. “In just three months, the Trump people have … created the conditions for terrorism … to exploit terror. Musk-Trump would, I fear, make little if any attempt to apprehend the responsible people …” snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...
