80 years ago today, Nagasaki was destroyed by a nuclear bomb.
Today we’re one mistake, accident, grandstanding or deliberate act away from nuclear catastrophe.
Today we fold cranes to remember those lost in Nagasaki Hiroshima and fight for a safer future.

Por qué a pesar del incremento a 35% en los aranceles a Canadá ayer, esto (izq, en rojo) hace la diferencia con lo que SIGUE sin estar explícito con respecto al anuncio ayer sobre México y sus aranceles diferidos a 90 días (al centro). El tercer gráfico enmarca (dcha) el tema.

With Sheinbaum & Trump call today,🇲🇽-🇺🇸 trade survives to fight another day. But, this on-going "kicking-the-can-down-the-road" dynamic isn't good; doesn't dissipate level of uncertainty in markets & defuse diplomatic volatility, impacting investment environment, NorthAm trade &🇲🇽's economy.

Brazil’s Brave Stand Against Trump Joseph E. Stiglitz applauds the country's refusal to kowtow to America's authoritarian leader.

Though I am neither a fan of Lula or Brazilian foreign policy for that matter, and that Brazil can afford to do this given it's relative wiggle room when it comes to dependence on trade flows with the US, @josephestiglitz.bsky.social has a point. 👇

When he starts with the “hoax” talk, he's setting up claims of it being inauthentic and hoping MAGA goes along with it. This isn't going away.
