We may now face a coordinated GOP drive to slander and tarnish Powell so they can dispose of him. If this ramps up, bond markets will not be amused. Neither will foreign pension funds.

Fed Chair, Jerome Powell: “We will never be influenced by any political pressure.” 👏

In a sea of cowardice, the people & institutions standing up for their values - like Jerome Powell and Harvard - deserve all our support.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.”

This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse
