"Even [if] some govt economist at BLS might... feel pressured to give Trump better numbers, I’m not sure they’d know how.... McEntarfer can’t have been the one actually crunching those numbers. That was done by people who are still in place and presumably will be for next month’s numbers."

Capitalism isn't why you're unhappy Some young adults blame "capitalism" for just about everything. But it's only a convenient scapegoat.

Americans Say No As Terrified ICE Agents Flee from Angry Citizens "It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming. Every day, anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!" a rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in Kansas.

"Did you not realize what this would be, being f*cking Gestapo? Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming...anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in #Kansas. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/americans-...

A) This is such a feel good video.
B) It is so important to see these people calling the ICE agents exactly what they are. It is important away their illusions.

the history of the united states is of consistently *almost* meeting moments of crisis with transformative change, before rapidly backpedaling at the last second. reconstruction was sabotaged, the new deal didn't go far enough, and racial integration was never finished. ours is a history of failure.

The only thing the UK is able to produce is new and even more cumbersome forms of debt. That's it. There's nothing else left here.

Tarrifs are a big part of it, but there's also a global coffee bean shortage, and big corporations are making it worse by buying up huge stockpiles.

Arabica beans, for example, have doubled in global pricing in the last calendar year.

This country is going to have a coffee shortage and it’s going to be economically devastating. This is not hyperbole.

Forget eggsβ€”the cost of coffee is skyrocketing, and folks are noticing.

I heard it was coming, so I stocked up weeks ago, but my supply won’t last forever. Trump’s Brazil tariffs are to blame.

FWIW, our decision to move The Reveal from Substack to Ghost recently was very scary because the newsletter is a big chunk of our livelihood. But the transition was seamless and we got a significant subscriber bump for doing it, too. Win-win!

I really cannot underline enough that the thing that unlocked a gajillion dollars in free wingnut propaganda money was the sight of Notable Rich Person Harvey Weinstein being dragged sobbing to jail, unprotected by the huge wealth that would otherwise have saved him.

The Internet was so good at exposing sexual predators and building cases against them that a bajillionaire who was publicly grassed up for sexually harassing an employee bought one of the principal platforms for Me Too then turned it into a Nazi boobyhatch, to prevent repeats.

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.
