T-acounts, they make things look so orderly. Very helpful AI bubble mapping here by @advaitarun.bsky.social.
We took a Minsky-style approach to understanding the refinancing risks across the sector and how they all interact. In other words, we made a TON of T-Charts to show exactly how capital flows. Balance sheets gotta balance!

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Could have told them, the uni I studied at found out the same way that shock therapy is expensive, but we know the point wasn't fiscal savings
Eight months after the Department of Government Efficiency effort to shrink the federal workforce began, some agencies are hiring workers back – and spending more money than before.

Kabinet vreest dat hulp aan zieke kinderen uit Gaza precedent schept voor medemenselijkheid
Het demissionaire kabinet twijfelt of het ernstig zieke kinderen uit Gaza moet laten overkomen voor medische hulp, uit vrees dat dit leidt tot een ongewenst precedent voor medemenselijkheid.

Curious what is progressive about allowing Bank of England to move billions from fiscal coffers to private banks under it's active QT?
Cause Burnham can't do anything about it, but Reeves can.

Volgens VVD, BBB en Wilders is solidariteit met Palestijnen ‘onversneden Jodenhaat’, maar over de neonazi’s met hun Hitlergroeten en NSB-vlaggen in Den Haag zwijgen ze. Daarmee maken alle maatregelen van deze regering tegen antisemitisme niet alleen ongeloofwaardig, maar ook fundamenteel racistisch.

Extreemrechtse knokploegen wegzetten als ‘hooligans’ of ‘tuig’, zoals politiek en media doen, betekent de depolitisering van een ideologisch en gevaarlijk fenomeen. Die depolitisering dient één doel: het beschermen van macht, terwijl het gevaar van extreemrechts bewust wordt gebagatelliseerd.

I notice that our Prime Minister, the man who gave the island of strangers speech, routinely demonises refugees and immediately condemned Charlie Kirk's murder on twitter/X has still said nothing about the violent far right mobs on said platform.

Keir promised he'd get BlackRock to rebuild Britain, apparently into a place where far right thugs run free, with his silent complicity.
good that Keir has broken his silence this morning to ... continue posting on a website run by a man who yesterday addressed a far right rally to call for his overthrow, while not in any way addressing said far right rally
