I'm not generally one to care much for gossip about those wielding state power, whatever the state...but I really wonder what the high-level, closed-door conversations in Beijing are like these days re. the US. Are they amused? Horrified? Smug? Bewildered?

So are there any knowledgeable people – including any who are enthusiastically pro-capitalist, but excluding those who have pledged devotion to the regime – who argue that there's any chance at all that the tariffs announced today will do what the regime is publically claiming?

Okay, sure, vote for the lesser evil...I can see the logic for making that decision, at least in some places. But getting so caught up that you refuse to see and name the harms that the lesser evil is itself also promising to do is putting all of us at risk. #cdnpoli

Mark Carney announces a $35B plan to build at least 500,000 homes per year. The plan cites Wartime Housing as the inspiration, but says NOTHING about whether the new homes will be social housing (as Wartime units were) or private.

Almost all unions in the United States took a stance for Palestine this past year, including roofers, auto workers, teamsters, hospitality workers, Machine Workers, Postal Workers, Flight attendants, etc. NOT ONE HOLLYWOOD UNION JOINED THEM. I keep saying this but people act like it's no biggie

The real story is that unnamed unknown Yemeni children died as a result of that cringe Signal disaster. Somehow that seems to be lost in all this.

"You can't criticize the better candidate during an election!" Of course we can. Grow the fuck up. They're politicians, not children. Just because someone is better than their opponent doesn't make them above criticism, and if they don't want to be criticized, it's on them to be less criticizable.

So what exactly is the US state gaining by extending (just a small fraction, but a growing fraction) of the border terror it has long applied to Black and brown people from the Global South to people with Global North citizenships?

If the lesson you take from this current moment is that there is some "return to normal" that you think will happen, I think that you're going to be very disappointed. If you question whether what you were previously living under was ever normal, then you're on the right track.

I've spent the past couple of days in various meetings and convenings. People are in motion everywhere. I can't stress enough that you should take every opportunity possible to gather with others (virtually and in person). You will feel more grounded.

Has there been any good (left) writing yet on how capitalist media companies -- not so much news media, but book publishers, entertainment-focused TV/movies, etc. -- are responding to the far-right regime in the US? Or is it, given the length of production pipelines, too soon to know much?
