Times: "Trump’s tariffs make Maga hats more expensive
President charges $40 for merchandise but cheaper bestsellers are made in China, which has been hit by the biggest levies"

Doesn't it sound all too logical, that one of the most corrupt individuals with certain ties to organized crime in U.S. history, would - after having been given administrative power - go & kill public USAID funding for a non-profit NGO like the "Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project", the reporting of which had been tied to the most spectacular international crime stories in decades like the Panama Papers, the Paradise Papers & the Russian Laundromat (also see well-aged story in The New Republic)???

Sometimes what appears to be a legitimate state leadership turns out to be rotten organized crime itself.

Do you think Lego Thatcher will finally realise she can't cut benefits for "growth" now?

GBLB: "Consultancy Oxford Economics is cutting its UK growth forecast after President Trump imposed larger-than-expected tariffs on US imports."

Hey #media! I have a suggestion. Felon #Trump thrives on media attention. Whenever you have an article about any stupid thing he does, you show his ugly face. Since he doesn't read, all he sees is that he is the center of attention & my feed is filled with his mug. How about putting pictures of something else like the actual subject of the story rather than showing #felontrump? This would show what the story is actually about and not inflate his already HUGE ego. Thanks.

Import taxes are like radiation. They're dangerous and should be avoided. There are times and places where small amounts properly applied can be very useful. Like X-rays, or in the treatment of certain kinds of cancers.

10% Tariff on Ukraine.
Tariffs on almost every country on earth

NO TARIFFS ON RUSSIA!
I at least hope Putin was considerate enough to use Lube!

We'll try every possible wrong way first no matter what the cost because we're too arrogant to backtrack on our "red lines" about Brexit 🙄 🤬

"She is listed in the agency’s records as an attorney acting in Apple’s defence in both cases against the Silicon Valley tech group [alleging it intervened against employee attempts to organise]. Apple and the NLRB declined to comment."

FT: CASES AGAINST APPLE WERE HALTED AFTER TRUMP PICKED ITS LAWYER FOR A TOP JOB AT US LABOUR WATCHDOG


"Because in Trump's world, peace is weakness, cooperation is betrayal, and suffering is sacred. April 2nd isn't a policy milestone. It’s a rally. It’s Ash Wednesday for the faithful. It's meant to be remembered like a national baptism, a reboot of American strength as defined by how much punishment we're willing to take.

Liberation Day is a lie. But lies, when repeated with spectacle and certainty, have power.

The global community cannot meet that lie with polite disagreement. We need to drag it into the light and expose its rot. This isn't the New Deal. This isn’t even Reaganomics. This is a movement willing to burn the economy just to watch the smoke rise behind a flag.

There's no negotiating with that. There's only resisting it—tariff by tariff, myth by myth, lie by lie. The more we normalize this performance, the more we validate the ritual. And the longer the global community lets America build its religion of pain, the more we risk becoming converts without even realizing it."

These are only three and a half minutes. Uncut. Representing the essence of #CoryBooker 's speech around the 20hrs mark. It's a speech to all Americans. But is as well a speech, foremost to the #DemocraticParty, about which, until today, I wasn't sure it still exists. Senator Booker just opened a huge window of opportunity. They only have to use it.

Venezuelan Professional Goalkeeper Deported to El Salvador Prison, Stunning Family Back Home

DHS, in a statement, stands by the rendition to a prison known for torture and barbaric conditions.

from #DropSiteNews
Ryan Grim and Sarah Hay
Mar 20, 2025

[a very chilling article on how Trump and his underlings are trampling on any semblance of legality]

"The family only discovered that their loved one, Jerce Reyes Barrios, had been renditioned to #ElSalvador when they saw him in viral videos posted by the #Trump administration, in which it celebrated what it said was the mass deportation of violent members of the #Venezuelan gang #TrenDeAragua. "

"This Florida Vote Could Flip the House Before Midterms"

Quote by nti:
"Mar 29, 2025
If you live in either Florida district, support Gay Valimont or Josh Weil on April 1! The Republican majority they have in the House could majorly shrink (yes, before the midterms!) if they win their elections."

Joanne Liu is the former president of Doctors Without Borders, who was due to give a speech at NYU this week.
It's been cancelled.

Full story:

#USPolitics #FreePalestine
#BoycottAmerica
A couple of the slides in her presentation touched on the casualties in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war as well as the cuts to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).  Liu said he was told the slides about Gaza "could be perceived as antisemitic" while the USAID section could be perceived as "anti governmental".

Liu, who was already in New York when she got the call, offered to make edits to those slides but then, three hours later, after some deliberations, she said the university apologised and said they had to cancel.

"I was stunned," said Liu.


Seems like a particularly good time to reread & share this excellent post on tools for thinking about censorship activities by @adapalmer. Highly recommended.

Well it's been in the post for a minute, but they've got bored of doing it one by one.

Hundreds of international students in the U.S. have been told to self-deport and have had their F-1 visas revoked for sharing “anti-national” content on social media or for alleged involvement in campus activism, according to reports.

Musk's encouragement translates as:

Anyone, who's not interested in bribing demented corruptible psychopath Trump can go to Threads, Reddit, BlueSky, Instagram, Facebook.

Thanks for showing folks the way out of your sewer, Eloon!
