I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"
My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)
The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?
Because Greta is right ..

Not all that surprising.
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The teargassing of children and babies and John and Jane Q. Public and trick or treaters is not a thing that fascists do when they are winning. It's what they do when they are terrified of losing and afraid they'll lose even more if they stop staging terror spectacles.

Just like good old-fashioned slave patrols.
“Under the plan, bounty hunters may receive “monetary bonuses” depending on how successfully they track down their targets — and how many immigrants they then report to ICE.”
Or ICE could just fund the Klan directly.

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants
Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate — and paid cash bonuses for performance.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I am open to the possibility of grace for those who held Nazis sympathies in the past, assuming they make a genuine, heartfelt bid for that grace. But no, they should never hold public office.

Colombia officially accuses the Trump regime of murder after it exposed that Trump and Hegseth ordered the murder of unarmed civilians in order to score political points for themselves. This was civilian murder and a war crime. We demand a criminal investigation and Trump’s arrest.
Colombia: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters”
“Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.”
“The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”
