Trump is behaving precisely as he would if he were a Russian asset This โ€˜peace planโ€™ is not only a tragedy for Ukraine, but an immediate crisis for Britain

Trump is behaving precisely as he would if he were a Russian asset.

These are not peace terms. Trumpโ€™s peace plan is a demand for Ukraineโ€™s surrender.

Priz has 28 in hand if he plays this right.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov you need to get snuggly with mamdami and crocket.

You have the center de facto your life. The progressives will win the day.

Go there.

Streetlamps are all around us.

Can we see them? Can we follow? Who will maintain them, keep them lit?

Tenement halls, subway walls, farm field rows and factory halls.

Rise. Sing.

How to Fix a Typewriter and Your Life (Gift Article) This is the story of how a man traded steady, grinding corporate security for a dying craft and, in the process, found his soul.

This is a lovely story. A thank you to @derrylm.bsky.social for relaying to me.

We have the abilnow to have our DNA and brains. We could counter our most destructive neuro pathways.

And I think instead we will pu AI chips in all our heads, with endless ads.

I am beginning my next novel, working title, My Apocalypse.

A truer imaginging of a new dark age, not as many die, but a lot do.

Right now, is depressing enough I am pretending I will end with Star Trek future potential. But... I do not see that for us humans unless we bigly evolve.

And I bet he would he supported widely. Globally, even. You are good on domestics. Build your international pipeline, before you campaign.

Stay ahead of critics.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I think you should choose a woman for a vp, with as many transectional modifiers as u can find.

But you would be a fool if you did not put Vindeman in your cabinet. He would be so badass as State.

I pray others join him in this.

If this came out alongside the Epstein stuff, we would see momentum carry us directly to removal and in the process, we would discover a metric ton of treasonous communications with several of the world's most horrific dictators and their crimes against the US.

United Farm Workers union sues to block Trump from lowering farm pay A new Labor Department rule that makes it cheaper for farmers to hire foreign guest workers illegally drives down wages for U.S. citizen farmworkers, the union said.

It is insane to own these.

The chance it will happen to you is low, but if it does happen? You are 100% burned alive.

All you need to do for a zero chance? Don't ride in one or own one.

I won't ride in one ever again (only have a couple times, cabs, one friend).

Because trump was told to remove barriers to foreign interference, by Putin, and he did it.

Portland sitting on $21M that could have paid for rent aid, other services, review reveals The tranche of dollars could have gone to emergency rent assistance, eviction defense or other housing aid, according to documents reviewed by The Oregonian/OregonLive.

Nobody asked but (and for entertainment purposes only!) I'm going to post my completely uneducated hypothesis on this: I think the rental registration money was simply deposited in the wrong account.

Based on what little we have to go by, here's why I think that: ๐Ÿงต1/

weirdly, and if she actually resigns, I believe her remorse. I think the cuts hit her loved ones hard, esp healthcare. It was when everything changed for her, in combination with not being in the inner circle "on the take" team.

Within the past 5 to 7 years of a person's life, they have what used to be called terminal drop.

Everything goes fast, cascading, and very visible.

Whatever. He cannot even get anyone to bid for Alaska or the Gulf.

Oil is gutted. He should be using his bromance with MBS to do something about that, maybe?

So he is thinking a war with Venezuala will allow him to cancel 2028 elections?

Wow. I guess that was his only take away from his 'peace talks' with Ukraine.

Problem is, Ukraine is not the US. But he failed Seseme Street and doesn't know these things are not like each other.

How billionaires took over American politics The current concentration of wealth is unlike anything in history. So is billionairesโ€™ involvement in politics.

GIFT ARTICLE:

Money isnโ€™t speech. Saying it is, while removing all guardrails against corruption, has made our nation an oligarchy. The Roberts Court has enthusiastically embraced this policy objective.
