Amid Trumpโ€™s tariff tantrums, the EU and the 12 nation CPTPP are preparing a massive trade alliance, potentially covering 40% of global GDP, integrating supply chains across Europe, Canada, Japan, and others.

This venture will be led by PM Mark Carney.๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Black-and-white historical portrait of Constance Tipper, the pioneering English metallurgist and crystallographer. She is gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. Tipper has short, neatly styled dark hair parted on the side with soft waves framing her face. She wears a patterned blouse or dress with a high collar, evoking early-to-mid-20th-century professional women's attire. The soft lighting highlights her determined features against a plain, neutral background, capturing her as a trailblazing scientist whose work on brittle fracture revolutionized materials engineering and saved lives during and after World War II.

Her groundbreaking work on the brittle fracture of metals saved countless lives during #WWII & laid foundational principles for modern fracture mechanics. First female FT faculty member at Cambridge Dept of Engineering (1949). #WomenInSTEM (1/2)

Why is nobody speaking out against the๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ’ฉs campaign rally at Fortโ€Braggโ€.Telling the cheering(?)troops to vote GOP and having a repug senate candidate up there with him is crossing another line. Our military is not his political tool to wield. They have a duty to Country and Constitution, not Fatass.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." โ€“Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

I would NEVER vote for that asshole Trump, regardless of tax breaks, but retirees on fixed incomes sometimes have a hard time paying prop. taxes. However, two caveats: 1.) any break should be income-based, and 2.) if school systems use it as an excuse to cut ed. programs, then a resounding "no."

That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.
