ftr "you cannot engage with harry potter without jkr profiting" includes piracy. you are still giving it attention. you are still keeping it in the social consciousness. you are still, probably, talking about it to someone. you have to let it go. you have to fucking let it go.

Get ready to have fewer books published every year - and the ones we get are more likely to be from big (white) authors who are guaranteed to sell.

Wall Street keeps begging. Ackman keeps tongue bathing. Time they realize the only deliverance is Democrats and enough Republicans stripping Trump of all his (already frankly illegal) tariff powers. It’s a simple vote. Trump isn’t the one they need to beg or threaten.

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

House Democrats forge ahead with plan to force vote on killing Trump tariffs Democrats want to force Republicans to choose between their Trump loyalty and uneasiness with his trade policy.

Here's some good news: Senator Ron Wyden (with Rand Paul's support) and Reps. Richard Neal and Gregory Meeks have introduced privileged resolutions to force votes on the latest round of Trump tariffs.

Good time to call your reps!

Headline story in the Financial Times. It reads:

Jeep and Chrysler maker Stellantis to furlough 900 US workers
Component facilities in Michigan and Indiana are hit after carmaker idles production in Canada and Mexico
Stellantis says transmission, stamping and casting facilities in Michigan and Indiana will be affected given that they provide parts to assembly plants in Canada and Mexico

🚨NEW: Jeep and Ram truck manufacturer laying off 900 workers at five US factories, in response to Trump tariffs.

A reminder: tariffs don’t create jobs, they destroy them.

The CNN fear & greed index:
What emotion is driving the market now?
And then there's a little dial with Extreme Fear on the far left in red with an arrow pointing right in its middle. If there was less fear, it would be fear, then neutral, then greed, then extreme greed. 

Apparently the last time the markets closed they closed in extreme fear. 1 week ago they closed in fear. 1 month ago they closed in extreme fear. 1 year ago they closed in greed.

I always thought the opposite of fear was love, bravery, or understanding but no! It's greed.

A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now.

It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.

Did you know we have a Library Bill of Rights in America? It was written in response to Nazis burning books in 1939 Germany. Now we're watching the Trump administration dismantle these same safeguards against authoritarian thought control.

This is an important message for anyone running or planning to run against a GOP incumbent who can't figure it out themselves. President have no power of tariffs. Trump is only able to do this because Congress gave the President the power. Congress cld take that power back at ...

2/ any moment. With the razor thin GOP majority in the House that means that every GOP rep is literally responsible for this. Who's responsible for your 401k that might flatline before you do? Rep. X. The higher prices for everything? Rep.X It's all their fault. Simplest ads in the world.

3/ And it's 100% true. Every GOP Rep and Senator could pull the plug on this at any moment and are choosing not to. The 2026 midterm is already underway.

A Wakeup Call in Wisconsin And a much needed one at that.

"You can drive yourself crazy, listening to these admin people lie and spin. So it’s nice when we get a day like yesterday—when the lies are so obvious, so transparent and crude, that it’s effortless to conclude: Yeah, these folks are just utterly full of shit."
