The EU was created in by people who lived through WWII and saw political and economic integration as a means to bringing peace and stability to the continent.

It is being opposed by Putin, Musk and the others who support Neo Nazis in Europe.

“Seeking accountability against the perpetrator of a crime is how the legal system is supposed to work,” the lawyer Elora Mukherjee says. “But punishing law-abiding immigrants, children and adults alike, for the violent acts of one man is anathema to our justice system.”

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Don't look up!

instead we have a system where the only gains to be made at the national level are ones that also more easily benefit fossil and thusly trigger opposition from groups that are on the frontlines of litigation against fossil projects

When 1 of my Greek grandfathers immigrated to America as a kid with his mom, they ran a small lunch counter in Cambridge, Maryland in the 1920s. The KKK destroyed their restaurant & forced them to leave town. But later, they opened another restaurant & those racist losers had to hide in the shadows.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The fucking irony of this Jew to cape Third Reich white supremacist talking points BECAUSE his grandparents could assimilate into US culture when whiteness expanded just enough for them.

(One day he might find that this same conditional whiteness he was granted is more conditional+ less secure.)
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Awesome article on a vital topic
I'm dense when it comes to finance, so the fact that I got to a point of understanding how utilities earn profit and why they should or shouldn't earn less means you can too. I stayed up till 3am trying to explain in an accessible way. Hopefully it was worth it!
