Trump is basically pressing all the “do not touch” buttons simultaneously: mass layoffs, increasing prices, undermining consumer and international confidence. Not sure what else he could be doing to trigger a recession, let alone longer term US decline
March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE
This was before the tariffs
It's just...unbelievable

Again, what would someone actively trying to destroy America do differently?

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Removing the watermark and crediting the generator is some real backhanded shit but at this point if you're an artist still squatting on X because "muh numbers" I don't know how to help you anymore. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

NYT shows how Bari Weiss really screwed this up.
She didn't attend any of the 5 screenings of the story, which began on Dec. 12.
She only first weighed in on Thursday, and the show incorporated her suggestions.
She then waited until weekend to ask for more edits.

And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING.
“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

You’d really be forgiven if you had a hard time conceiving of a success on this scale. “So I’ve got this idea for an environmental and public health project, we’re gonna reduce pollution by a fifth. No no it doesn’t cost anything. Actually it’s gonna net half a billion dollars.” What!
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

![arrests in Illinois. The State and the Government disagree about whether the immigration officers have violated the Constitution in making certain immigration stops and arrests. The basic constitutional rules governing that dispute are longstanding and clear: The Fourth Amendment requires that immigration stops must be based on reasonable suspicion of illegal presence, stops must be brief, arrests must be based on probable cause, and officers must not employ excessive force. Moreover, the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity. Cf. Whren v. United States, 517 U. S. 806, 813 (1996) (“[T]he Constitution prohibits selective enforcement of the law based on considerations such as race”). This application does not require us to delve into the parties’ underlying dispute and to determine whether any particular immigration encounter or series of encounters in Illinois has violated those basic constitutional principles.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreiftd2dsbnwupyavikifhpranzsrgae4czsegm4dlyrwdixfumxmwi@jpeg)

“I cannot return to Burma.” For thousands of Burmese people here, the Trump admin’s decision to terminate TPS is a matter of safety and freedom. With the end of TPS for Burma, nearly 4,000 people could lose legal protection and face deportation to a warzone, tearing families apart and risking lives.
