Greenland had a message for Donald Trump as islanders went to the polls this week: thanks, but no thanks.
The US president’s repeated noises about acquiring the vast Arctic island were rejected at the ballot box, as a party that denounced Trump’s ambitions came out on top.

Hearing from Community Partners International, which works from Myanmar to Bangladesh, that USAID cuts mean 14,000 people with HIV losing access to lifesaving meds and a total stop in all HIV and TB screening. So many people will die due to these chaotic, sudden, horrifically implemented cuts.

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

I've spent the morning re-doing my Powerpoints for recent American history. As I looked for an image to go along with "9/11" and "school shootings" I started crying. Teaching about Romans is way easier.

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates.
It’s a lie.
The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe.
His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

New, from me: Tulsi Gabbard purged trans intelligence officers after a Chris Rufo smear campaign.
They were targeted because they were trans, their words were mischaracterized, and they were offered no due process.

Far-right ideas of breakdown and disruption prosper when the left gives up on more demanding visions of the future. In any context where people have become dissatisfied with the status quo, the promise to throw things up in the air is likely to do better than a politics of exact targets and metrics.
