The underperformance reflects a broader shift in the mindset among foreign investors, who have started targeting domestic champions as Donald Trump wages a global trade war.

A Great Year for US Stocks? Not Compared to Rest of the World

Check a ranking of the best-performing equity indexes this year and the US doesn’t crack the Top 10. You won’t find it in the Top 25, either. Double that, and the S&P 500 is still absent.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician even attempt to know this much about my people’s history or art or culture or struggle, and I’ve certainly never seen someone advocate for protecting us so fiercely at this level, ever. God I truly hope he wins.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

and this is the essence of why Dems would be fools to work with Repubs on energy permitting: zero evidence that Repubs would negotiate in good faith, lots of evidence to the contrary

go hard on distributed energy for now, win elections, kick fascists to the curb, permit good stuff and not bad stuff

jael holzman @jael.bsky.social · 19h

this is such a wild and weird takeaway from this situation

permitting reform will not save renewable energy if a government simply doesn’t want to issue permits

unless you’re trying to literally require permits in all cases or just end all permits ever

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

No indictments for them, because this is how a fascist regime works. "For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law."
