this is just conservatism, no understanding of the systems they benefit from and constant false victimhood
It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."

Anyone in Lowell missing a Yorkie named Max? Someone allegedly found the dog walking alone somewhere in Lowell. Missed the address. Dog has a tag with a phone number on it, but the person who found the dog couldn’t get through.

NEW: A federal judge in Maryland just issued an injunction blocking DOGE from accessing sensitive personal information from the Departments of Education and Treasury and OPM — ruling that it trampled on privacy rules when it gained "seemingly unfettered" access to the files.

“Universities must defend their truth-seeking and educational missions. They can point to obvious benefits, including economic ones….But universities must also insist that one cannot pick and choose research, as in: say medical research OK, but climate research not.“

To begin with, universities should not be intimidated by the claim that public opinion is turning against them. That’s not necessarily true

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Republicans want you to think that Finland, Denmark, and Norway's high-performing education system is the result of perceived racial hegemony, as opposed to reality, which is that progressive taxation, wealth taxes, and higher marginal rates for the rich greatly improve society.
