"Trump assumed that Canada had no choice but to fold. He believed that trade dependence was a leash he could yank whenever he wanted a concession.
He was wrong...Trump suffered a humiliation that strikes at the only thing he truly cares about: his ego. The dealmaker got outplayed by a technocrat."

Canada Fights Fire With Fire
Trump operates like a mob boss collecting protection money. He assumes everyone will just submit.
Wrong.
Canada, America’s polite northern neighbor, finally decided to quit backing down and start fighting back.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This piece is a great illustration of how the long-term effect of Trump’s destruction of US institutions won’t be felt in a dramatic market collapse, but rather in permanently worse economic conditions, and lower prosperity.

The AI bubble* and the fascist Trump regime are deeply intertwined, fueling each other.
If the bubble pops, it'll make the regime easier to deal with.
If the regime falls, the bubble likely goes with it.
*Bubble doesn't mean nothing of value. It means severely overinflated value and exuberance.

Bari Weiss’ CBS is what the tech fascists mean by creating “parallel” journalism.
Create new fake brands (“The Free Press”) or hollow out existing brands and replace with right-wing clones.
Or both!

👇🎯 Your regular reminder that we can either be a full democracy, with equal rights for all, or we can be a white Christian theocracy. There is no compromise or middle ground between these things.
Pluralism is antithetical to Christian nationalism. If Jews (or other religions minorities) have an equal right to the mantle of Americanism it knocks over the whole sordid house of cards. This same fact also explains why anti-Blackness is so central to the movement as well.
