Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

After firing 100+ immigration judges and revoking protected status from legal immigrants, the Trump regime now wants to strip citizenship from hundreds of naturalized Americans every month.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

🇺🇦 I don't think Putin's economy is capable of continuing the war in the volumes that were before, if the sanctions are in effect, — Zelensky
"Putin does not want to end the war, the question of whether he can continue it depends on our partners, in particular, on sanctions and diplomatic pressure."

Rolling annual mean CET for 2025 has just crept into a record-breaking position, with the mean temp on Dec 13th warmer than any other year in the dataset.
There's a good chance that 2025 could end up the highest on record for mean CET, based on previous years, but not a done deal.
