Donald Trump Jr-backed start-up scores $600mn US federal government deal President’s son’s fund 1789 Capital poised to capitalise from father’s administration

The whole play of Trumpism: convincing working class people to blame other working class people—so billionaires can keep robbing us all.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Please share! It's such an interesting and important project.

Guten Morgen!
(Bandaksee, Norwegen, Sommer 2025)

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s Border Patrol shot an unarmed Chicago woman FIVE TIMES — then lied and charged her as a “terrorist.”

They swore she rammed them and pulled a gun.

But the video told a different story:
— She never touched her gun.

Now, every single charge has been dropped.

Calling the Ukrainians "Nazis" is a testimony to how lazy Russian propaganda is and just how stupid those are who fall for it are.

Rubber Soul (Remastered 2009) The Beatles - album - 1965 - 14 songs

I'd argue that its 1965 release changed Rock and Roll for the better. It kicked open the doors and broke all the windows. Fiat sonus! Fiat musica! link.deezer.com/s/31N0B0eAqy...

Enjoy. Later series are far less satisfactory alas.

Finally watching the first season of Slow Horses. Hubs is not a fan…but then he doesn’t like mystery or thrillers the way I do.

Addressing the claim that America was built by "hard working people" by reminding everyone that America was *actually* built on the backs of enslaved Africans and on the genocide of Indigenous people.

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Watch now:

Materials of State - The Sword of State - BBC Sounds David Cannadine looks at the history and symbolism of the Sword of State.

I can't remember a BBC "constitutional" series this weak. The objects are presented as some sort of cipher for deep constitutional traditions, but everything is wrapped up in 15 minutes (on flags, good luck) or banal. Rubber bullets mustn't be "materials of state"...

In the Yiddish schools of the Americas, waiting til “later” to discuss the Holocaust was not an option. Stories helped school-aged children metabolize the violence to their European cousins and grow into ethical witnesses to the destruction. #sparklingsentences @princetonupress.bsky.social
