maybe we shouldn't be disappearing students via secret police for opposing the actions of a state that behaves in this way
Video obtained by my colleague Farnaz Fassihi shows how the IDF deliberately attacked, over several minutes, a convoy of ambulances and other emergency vehicles in #Gaza. #Israel wrongly claimed that the vehicles drove without emergency signals and headlights. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of the incident, which described the vehicles as “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency ...

The institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy; rule of law, consistent regulation, stability, and all the rest.
That’s what’s being destroyed and that’s what risks the *entire economy.

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.
A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

The reason this is such a big deal is that Trumpism, an ideology of pathological insecurity and bullying, requires you to submit. When you don’t submit, it calls everything about them into question, and they can’t handle that. So don’t submit. Defy the fascist scum.
Zelensky should apologize for his dispute with Trump and Vance at the White House, says U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “He didn’t need to go there and be hostile. I think he should apologize for wasting our time on a meeting that was bound to end this way.”

I want to say something precise: I have never seen evidence of any kind that CEOs in general are anything other than replacement level thinkers, and significant evidence that the typical CEO is way below replacement level. That doesn't mean they *all* are, but hoooooo boy is it a skinny right tail.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Trump feuded with the mail agency in his first term. Privatizing it could shake up consumer shipping and business supply chains.

Trump’s picks for attorney general and Pentagon chief will be meeting with senators on Capitol Hill this week. Seasoned observers believe the visits will be deemed successful if they manage not to sexually assault any of the Senators or their staff.
