The image is from the Sonora Desert scene of "Close Encounters," where an elderly Mexican man with a half-sun burnt face tells the story of the alien space craft that hovered over his house and left give WW2 fighter planes on his property. He describes the encounter in Spanish, and one of the translators tells François Truffaut: "He says the sun came out last night. He says it sang to him."

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing.

It's a story you should know bc few things matter more than the U.S.-China relationship.

I feel like it's time to direct our ire at the GOP congress instead of Trump. It's obvious Trump doesn't give a shit about our protests. But maybe if we were contstantly protesting the GOP congress instead, they'd take some sort of action at some point??? Just a thought...

“I never thought federal officers could behave this way. I really didn’t,” she said. “I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong.”

It is bracing to reread the Framers’ bone-deep fears about foreign corruption of the presidency and realize Trump is exactly what they were trying to prevent. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Many delegates, including Alexander Hamilton, fretted that "one of the weak sides of republics" was their susceptibility "to foreign corruption"; leaders elevated to "stations of great preeminence and power" by the people, Hamilton wrote, may be tempted to abandon their "obligations of duty," lured by "compensations" from other nations seeking influence. In other words, federal officials could be so entranced by the wealth of foreign leaders, especially monarchs, that they might sell out their own country in exchange for a share of the riches dangled before them. The delegates sought to guard against this existential threat to republican "virtue" by adopting the foreign emoluments clause-unanimously, and without debate.

I hope everyone has the chance to read and digest this extremely important Naomi Klein (Shock Doctrine author) interview. She "breaks down the dark logic of Trump and Musk’s path of destruction — and what the world’s richest people really want." Outtake below. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
From the Naomi Klein Interview with Rolling Stone: The reason that we’re in a deranged circle of hell here is that we’re very deep in the project. There’s not much to sell off; there’s not much left to privatize; there’s not much left to deregulate. And the effects of all of their earlier successes mean that we are in a very volatile state. Whether it’s our Earth systems in the face of climate change, or how financialized and shock prone our economy is. Now capitalism has entered a radical and apocalyptic phase. There is no utopian vision in any of this. Instead, there’s a final battle. And this is where it gets really dark. The people who are advancing this agenda are also building their luxury bunkers and their spaceships to Mars. They don’t believe that there is a future. These people believe history is ending, literally. It’s end times! Get onto your rocket ship, or get into your golden city in the sky. And that is distinct. It’s important to see the continuities with earlier moments of shock and shock exploitation. But we have to not be blinded by history — where we think that all we’re seeing is repetition. Because history is cumulative. The fact that this has been done many times before, successfully, means that the stakes are infinitely higher. And it also means that the people who are doing it have to rationalize something much more monstrous.

Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls. Nonetheless, they sent them out into the rain in underwear & then took all their $ as evidence. kfor.com/news/local/w...
