TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

Step 2 in the dominguez saga. Immediate leave.

Retirement is 3, termination without emeritus status is 4, banned from campus and fired is 5

Strong Dominguez vibe for those who were there. Expectation that one can lay low and it will pass was misguided then and hopefully is misguided now.

From yours truly and Chelsea Estancona
New #firstview: "From Cocaine to Avocados: Criminal Market Expansion and Violence," Chelsea Estancona & @tiscornia21.bsky.social ask when criminal groups seek control of markets for licit goods such as avocados & lemons, and how these attempts affect patterns of violence.

Momento oportuno p lembrar q “uma escolha muito dificil” era entre o candidatos desses cara ai e o Haddad
🇧🇷 Centrão quer mudar a lei da autonomia do BC para dar ao Congresso o poder de destituir presidente e diretores da instituição em caso de “desempenho insuficiente”.

O movimento ocorre em meio à polêmica operação da compra do Banco Master e já tem apoio de PP, União, PL, Republicanos, MDB e PSB.

E se o GPS acabar? Tem várias outras constelações de sistemas de satélite de navegação global (GNSS) em torno da Terra.

A maioria dos dispositivos tem chips multi-GNSS. Por exemplo, o iPhone mais recente pega, alem do GPS(🇺🇸), o sinal do QZSS (🇯🇵), BeiDou (🇨🇳), Galileo (🇪🇺), NavIC (🇮🇳) e do GLONASS (🇷🇺).

About that letter from Trump- Lula responds. "In Brazil, freedom of expression is not to be confused with aggression or violent practices. To operate in our country, all national and foreign companies are subject to Brazilian legislation."

It is a foreign idea to Americans nowadays, but in democracies, such as Brazil, the President has no say on how justice is delivered
We are in new territory with Trump’s latest trade letter, threatening a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil starting Aug. 1
—The US runs a rare trade surplus with Brazil, so there’s no deficit to fix
—Trump says these duties are explicitly over political concerns, not economic ones
