Trump lost his trade war in every possible sense. It hurt the economy; it made us look ludicrous and lawless; and it gave Beijing a chance to reach for world power. And there is nothing Trump can do about any of this except back down and blame others. (1/2)

Pastors speak of brutality of arrests at hands of local cops at Broadview ICE facility
Pastor Luke Harris-Ferree and the Rev. Michael Woolf were arrested Friday while trying to meet and pray with detainees. They call on Gov. JB Pritzker to answer for the excessive use of force by police...
“When you understand there’s torture in a concentration camp in your backyard, it would be wild if people from Chicagoland weren’t going to Broadview,” Woolf later said in an interview. “But [Mayor Thompson] doesn’t care about out-of-town cops coming to brutalize us.”

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Judge indefinitely bars Trump from fining UC over alleged discrimination
The Trump administration demanded UCLA pay $1.2 billion to restore frozen research funding and ensure eligibility for future funding after accusing the school of allowing antisemitism on campus.
Judge: They "repeatedly and publicly announced a playbook of initiating civil rights investigations of preeminent universities to justify cutting off federal funding, with the goal of bringing universities to their knees and forcing them to change their ideological tune"

At a minimum it created the 1% meme. I have tried to start conversations about its impact, without success. I would argue that it influenced the Mamdani election. And then there's the issue of decision-making, which never got talked about. Even Adbusters seems reluctant to talk about it.

If you want people to believe a different story, you have to tell a different story. And more than tell it. People learn by example. They must be shown the truth that, for example, immigrants are awesome, respecting other races is rewarding, working people generate our wealth, and so on.

The Forgotten Photographs of Iraq’s Yazidis
Images of everyday life captured by archaeologists in the 1930s have been rediscovered, reshaping how a persecuted community remembers itself
“It is not just older generations who have enjoyed seeing photographs of their forebears — Yazidi youth have also flocked to the exhibitions, recognizing that they are testimony and affirmation of their traditions, culture and presence in Iraq’s sociopolitical landscape.”

US military planning for divided Gaza with ‘green zone’ secured by international and Israeli troops
Exclusive: Almost all Palestinians have been displaced to ‘red zone’ where no reconstruction is planned
“The plan to use aid to tempt the Gaza population into an area under Israeli control, after two years of a war deemed genocidal by a UN commission, has echoes of other disastrous US policies in Afghanistan and Iraq.”

Trump says he will take legal action against BBC, despite its apology
US president tells reporters he will sue the corporation for ‘anywhere between a billion and $5bn’
The UK is effectively being bullied into submission.
The BBC personally apologised to Trump for upsetting him and he’s threatening to sue anyway.
And it’s not like there’s anyone with a spine at the head of the UK gov willing to stand up to Trump.

"Madmani of the West Coast"
was elected mayor of Seattle -and the Israelis are worried
After accusing Israel of "genocide in Gaza," promising to look for investment removal and halt security cooperation, Katie Wilson overcame the incumbent mayor of Seattle Bruce Harrell. The local Jewish community is preparing to monitor its policy. "The fear is that it will legitimize anti-Israel organizations,” they said.

Israeli media is reacting to Katie Wilson’s win in Seattle with its typical flair, calling her the “Mamdani of the West Coast” and warning she will “legitimize anti-Israel organizations” calling Israel’s genocide in Gaza what it is.
