A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job.

“I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

Absolutely. The entitlement and ignorance in American culture is way too prevalent and it sucks how hard life will need to get to burn that shit out of your society, but it’s so fucking overdue.

I’m sorry for all the Americans who know better, but you’re all stuck in the same raft now.

Canada bought 11 billion or so in these things literally last April, in addition to everything else we own too.

God forbid everyone close the door on the US.

I’m really hoping we do. (Canadian.)

Europe owns $8 TRILLION IN US DEBT AND EQUITIES.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk
Europe owns $8 trillion of US Treasury debt and equities. We could dump it all and watch Trump's economy burn.

Of course, there's an element of mutually assured destruction about this, but I like the way we're now thinking.

US interest rates will shoot up, the govt will start running out of money, businesses won't be able to borrow, it's pretty much financial Armageddon

Trouble is, the US also holds lots of our bonds

I can explain it.

If Europe starts dumping US govt debt on the market, it will reduce the price investors are willing to pay for the bonds.

This makes it harder/almost impossible for the US to issue govt debt unless at a much higher (unaffordable) interest rate.

Still, she adopted the right approach to this issue for 24 hours, which must be a record.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.

You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”
