I have a poem published in Issue 9 of @ausauthora.bsky.social The theme was ‘Cracks’, and at the time I was waking up extremely early in the morning, so naturally I wrote poems about dawn. Hope you enjoy it! #Poem #PoetrySky #PoetryCommunity

Good bit of analysis here. Trump's chaotic approach to introducing, repealing, and reintroducing tariffs may undermine exactly the business confidence needed for big US auto to invest in re-shoring - and bring on a recession instead of creating jobs

Why Trump’s 25% tariffs on autos could backfire | Steven Greenhouse
Nearly half of the cars sold in the US are imported and Trump’s 25% tariff will add at least $6,000 to the sticker price of the average car, industry experts say

Have these border denials and arrests really become as common as the news suggests? Does anyone else have a story to share about getting stopped at the airprort?

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also a deeply unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

Fascinating Atlantic article on patrimonialism as Trump's style of authoritarianism: "running the state as if it were the leader’s personal property or family business." Vulnerabilities: incompetence and corruption--this is a message Dems should hit back with.
