Everyone needs to be watching what's happening here in Chicago:

* About 300 fed agents invaded a 5 story apartment complex across from an elementary school

* Snipers rappelled down from Black Hawk helicopters

* Nearly all residents were removed - some children were dragged naked from their homes
Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

I think about this a lot with TV/movie ratings for fake violence even. Showing a boob is not allowed, but heroes can punch the shit out of people and that's perfectly fine.

I'm not saying that makes people violent necessarily, but perhaps subconsciously number to physical harm against other people
We do not want to live in a society where every single person has become totally numb to witnessing horrifying violence.

Claiming that everyone needs to “toughen up” by exposing themselves to horrifically violent imagery is *simply doing fascism’s work for it.*

Yes, we’re literally about to zero out funding for every Title VI area studies center at every university in the country, along with FLAS fellowship funding. A generation of human capital that feeds into our diplomatic & intelligence corps that will simply not exist. National security madness.
Another angle to this. They've defunded the university language programs their diplomatic corps come from or go to to upskill. They can't even build back this expertise in the future even if they want to.
Idiotic self-immolation of our diplomatic capacity. Possible, in part, because of how we constantly glorify our military in 🇺🇸 society on every holiday & every sports event, while we totally ignore our diplomatic corps & have a juvenile collective understanding of what makes 🇺🇸 powerful in the world.

"not just legally and morally abhorrent...a logistical nightmare that would, in practice, require grotesque federal intrusion... would put ICE agents in maternity wards and babies on deportation flights...would also trip up millions of American citizens who lack the papers to prove that they belong"
The Trump administration has quietly released the first stage of its plan to revoke birthright citizenship from the children of immigrants. It uses dry legalese to conceal the barbaric reality of ICE agents in maternity wards and deportation flights for babies. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Trump Just Released His Plan to Revoke Birthright Citizenship. It’s Worse Than Imagined.
Try as it might, the government cannot cover up the horrors with bureaucratic legalese.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Donald Trump wants to make US shipbuilding great again by imposing levies on Chinese vessels. Critics say the move could devastate the US economy, hit global trade and fuel inflation
Billion-Dollar US Levies on Chinese Ships Risk ‘Trade Apocalypse’
Critics will tell a hearing on Monday that the move against commercial ships could be more disruptive for global trade than Trump’s tariffs.

$STNG - If LR and Afra rates are the prime beneficiaries of tariff nonsense (and they are likely to be) probably time to swing the bat on Scorpio again soon. Right on the 200 week MA, too.
