Yes, yes, these are common problems in the young backsliding democracies of the former Soviet bloc and in much of autocratic Africa and East Asia, but -

Arbitrary executive power wielded for personal enrichment and retribution.
State central planning imposed by ever-fluctuating whim.
Vast debt financing at rapidly rising interest rates.
Markets replaced by economic warfare against fellow democracies.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

The press needs to frame this accurately.
It isn’t a pause on aid. That’s language designed to soft pedal it, make it go down easier.
“In a bid to help Russia achieve victory on its preferred terms, Trump stops all aid to Ukraine”

This is appalling behavior. Shocking even for a dumb toad like Trump who can't help but choose the worst possible position on every single issue. We're in deep(er) sh*t.
Trump to Zelenskyy: "Your country is in big trouble. You've done a lot of talking. You're not winning this."

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

Hey Elon Musk bought Twitter and so he push racist lies like this to hundreds of millions of people. The world’s biggest welfare queen is also the world’s biggest racist.
i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

Today HUD released data showing homelessness has reached a record high in 2024, jumping roughly 120k compared to last year
The jump was especially pronounced in New York, which saw a 55k increase compared to last year, and Illinois, which saw a 14k increase.
