Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

Opinion | José Andrés: People of Good Conscience Must Stop the Starvation in Gaza

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“There is no excuse for the world to stand by and watch two million human beings suffer on the brink of full-blown famine,” the chef José Andrés writes about Gaza.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Concentration Camp Duty: The Last SS Guard Gregor Formanke stood guard in Sachsenhausen. Jerzy Zawadzki was nine years old, and a prisoner. When Formanek is indicted at age 99, their lives intersect once more.

He was the last SS guard, about to be tried when he died at 100. Let this warn the ICE agents who think they are only guards, following orders. Your masked crimes against humans and humanity will mark you to the end of your days.

Microsoft can't protect French data from US government access Company admits under oath that American authorities can demand European citizen information despite security promises.

“When asked directly whether he could guarantee under oath that French citizen data would never be transmitted to US authorities without explicit French authorization, [Microsoft France's director of public and legal affairs Anton] Carniaux responded: ‘No, I cannot guarantee it.’”

“When they build a camp where they [plan to] ‘clean’ more than half of Gaza, then the inevitable understanding of the strategy of this [is that] it is not to save [Palestinians]. It is to deport them, to push them and to throw them away. There is no other understanding that I have, at least.”

With you!!!

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Who cares

Nope, things are never that bad! 🤠

Pierre at his finest!

This is a supermaket built by the Trump company that never paid any of its contractors, making those small businesses go bankrupt

This should have been enough not to run the 'story' but, of course, this is not about news but about geberating a hit piece. They'll complain he doesn't kiss babies next (cancelled my NYT subscription over disingenious Bernie hit pieces long ago)

Same! I think that the more evil the world becomes, the more I kling to stuff like this to make me laugh

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

Fair enough

No phone, yet here I am looking at a picture from your phone :)

You've got this! ❤️❤️

Wow, this really expresses the heat ❤️❤️
