I pinned my hopes on the Market acting rationally to the tariffs and it never really did and I need people to brace themselves for the market basically being flat or even bumping up slightly because all investors are just meme stock investors in reality.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

"the US is facing potential Europe-wide sanctions because of a invasion of Greenland by Donald Trump" sounds like the premise of a bad fanfic
it is safer to assume nothing ever happens: at the same time: the fact that we are at this point is batshit insane, even if the US ends up backing down towards lesser claims
realistically i *think* this probably ends with Rubio bringing down tensions and saying that a post-independence Greenland should be associated with the United States

but the fact that Euros are preparing for Big Tech sanctions is genuinely "shit's fucked" territory

The Greenland fixation feels like a personal insult to anyone who's spent more than about five minutes thinking about national security. "Hey, let's demolish our most valuable alliance so we can get get access to arctic territory we already have access to!"

i agree, but the fact that we are here where EU sources are talking about nuking big tech among other US sectors to the Telegraph feels a lot like the 1939 moment
My guess is this is a very open attempt to get what remaining adults in the room to yell at Trump to knock this shit off least he stick their dicks in a hornet nest
I do not think anybody is prepared for how quickly and how thoroughly things we've taken for granted our whole lives could change

Just as a matter of basic priorities, the gal who doesn't necessarily have the right work permits, but is law abiding, is a lot less of a problem than the US citizen selling meth in her neighborhood.

I mean if China manages to steam an invasion fleet to Greenland without NATO being able to do anything about it then we've got some pretty big problems...

The striking thing about all these arguments from Trump world is that they plainly - and knowingly - make no sense. They don't need to. The point isn't to persuade. The point is to forge a world view that excuses the mad whims of the Dear Leader. He wants Greenland, hence it is so contrived.

I can barely put into words how the shooting of Renée Nicole Good makes me feel. I know some people find me threatening when I'm visibly queer and/or trans but it hadn't crossed my mind that such an event could be lethal in a very long time. And her wife and kid too. Just heartbreaking.

Was in the coffee shop today when a guy’s boyfriend came in and gave him a quick affectionate little kiss and I felt both a joy at living in a time and place where that love is normal and public and a rage at those who would try to take it away from us.

THEY SHOT THEM IN A FUCKING HOSPITAL FUCKING PARKING LOT
Federal agents shoot 2 people in East Portland, police confirm
In a statement, Mayor Keith Wilson called for a halt on ICE operations in Portland, asking Portlanders to show up with "calm and purpose" after the shooting.

holy hell it might actually be happening
The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation.

THIS.
Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions

FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

i think what’s happened is that american unity is completely broken, for a variety of reasons, so we as a people literally cannot understand that someone would think of themselves as canadian before they’d consider themselves as liberal/conservative
You also have libs who support Canada getting annexed because then the Democrats would win every election. As if Canadians would ever forgive those who helped destroy our country

One thing about this political moment - that goes on forever, alas - is that you really find out who actually Believes Things and who was just in it for power and clout.

You can think libertarianism is crazy-land, but Gillespie is truly a libertarian. The same for Bill Kristol's neo-conservativism.
