For decades the War Remains Museum in Ho Chi Minh City has shown only exhibits on US imperialism and atrocities. A new exhibit would have showcased the US-Vietnamese reconciliation process. But Trump shut down USAID and the US Institute of Peace, which created it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/w...

Tesla futures are going down about 2%, it's funny seeing how slowly stock traders think. Like it takes them a solid day of scratching their heads to go "down 71%? That... not good?" "Tariffs... Bad?"

Russia is conducting attacks in conjunction with U.S. pressure on Ukraine. It’s a coordinated effort. Trump’s accommodation drives Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian cities to compel Ukraine to capitulate. Trump may not realize… doesn’t care, but his embrace of Putin/Russia is fueling Russian attacks.

Truly awful; and yet, not new! Been the case for many years! What’s happening now is that Congressional democrats had FINALLY gotten support for legal services funding for unaccompanied migrant kids, and hundreds of lawyers were working on these cases — then Trump killed the funding in one day.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

I was watching a history program and I’m mulling this bit of unintended consequences: Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, so he could hand out the land as favors… …and then had to deal with the fact that he’d destroyed his country’s safety net for the poor, elderly & infirm. 😑

This is from the WSJ, who live in a fantasy world where Biden oversaw “open borders”, and they still fawn over the promise of mass deportations & renditions. 🙄 But it’s interesting to see them call out the blatant incompetence on display.

Basically, Pope Francis was appalling to the reactionary wing, kind of like Obama. Creepy tradcaths share traits with the Tea Party: they are angry, antisocial and opposed to a tolerant society. Tradcaths make the baby Jesus cry.
