I can't get over how weird this photo is. I love that someone in England captioned it: "Darling, be a dear and DO click on the floor lamp."

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.
Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.
If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

Science, ladies and gentlemen, is good
This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

‘Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled.’
Scientists are screaming loud & clear.
But our governments are in the pocket of the psychopaths imperiling us.
We eradicate fossil fuel money from our politics, or we watch this world die.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.
It's mind-blowing how little attention this extraordinary statement has received. It's briefly mentioned in a couple news articles, but this MSNBC opinion piece is the only extended discussion of it I've seen: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence.
This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

This could be the most important revelation in ages. It suddenly make so many things clear, both about Russia & the direction of the Right in the US. The right has been moving steadily toward the oligarchy that has crippled Russia's economy & society & will cripple ours if we let it.

🧵 Between 1998 and 2000, the CIA produced over 100 reports on crime and corruption in Russia. Those reports concluded that the Russian mob and its cronies in government and big business looted the country into a condition resembling medieval beggary. /1

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

When I first opposed the populist, economic, forgotten-man arguments (years ago), and then wrote a book about it, I got a lot of pushback because the economic narrative was firmly lodged among both right and left. It was always a red herring.
I’m not quite entirely persuaded by this essay but goddam it is very good and bracing. Really worth a read.

Trump's supporters are not motivated by economic anxiety, but by its opposite.

Fear of books is fear of ideas. It's fear of democracy itself. Let's ban that!
