The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, ＆ unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas ＆ violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful ＆ fierce solidarity.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

The partial and temporary tech-tariff repeal could be good for Apple and other tech stocks. But imagine ur a ceo thinking about reshoring manufacturing to the US. Tariffs up, down and sideways give you no confidence to start pouring concrete. And does Apple run or stay in China?

I very much recommend people watch this series of clips. I suggest doing so because I've noticed a lot of 2024 election analyses seem to 1) misrepresent what Harris said/did & 2) project upon Harris things she did not say/did not do.
Repeat after Kamala Harris:
"Recession by the middle of next year"
*or sooner
SHE TRIED TO WARN YOU.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.
But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.
Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.
Together we can stop them. We must stop them.
