I think it goes much deeper than "performative stuff". It is sand in the cogs, people may also see it as a safer way to protest. It is claiming back some public space and any and all push back against what is happening is good. And I would not sacrifice "good" for "better".

A thing that fucks people up is the refusal to take babysteps in doing something they suck at. Instead of starting where they can, and gradually improving, they just get frustrated that they're not already good at it and never even start.

The only political commentary I read or trust is @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social in @garbageday.email! www.garbageday.email/p/it-s-going...

So here we are 140 days into Trump’s second presidency. The political and cultural alliance he built up during his campaign is fractured. And activists have finally figured out how generate attention. So it’s safe to expect more direct action against ICE raids across the country this summer. And it’s also safe to expect they’re going to escalate in intensity, on both sides. Because right now, thanks to our broken media landscape, the only battle worth fighting is for attention. The Trump administration has consolidated power extremely quickly and our opposition party is more interested in viral stunts and book deals. There isn’t much that can be done other that protesting and mutual aid. But now, with Trump’s influencer army in disarray, there’s an opening, at least for eyeballs. Which is why there’s no point debating the ethics or optics of violent or non-violent protest. The only thing anyone average person can do is make as much noise as possible. And it’s going to be one hell of a noisy summer.

'The starting-point is for you to understand human nature and what has happened to it.* You see, our nature wasn't originally the same as it is now: it has changed. Firstly, there used to be three human genders, not just two-male and female-as there are nowadays. There was also a third, which was a combination of both the other two. Its name has survived, but the gender itself has died out. In those days, there was a distinct type of androgynous person, not just the word, though like the word the gender too combined male and female; nowadays, however, only the word remains, and that counts as an insult.*

No. Full stop. The premise of expansionary monetary policy is primarily to stimulate investment and consumption (cheap money to borrow). This is not the current situation. You can lower the rates all you want, the US is too risky for investment (why both stocks and bonds are falling). FAFO

Dearth of people wanting to invest in the USA (either physically or financially). Well.... he was complaining about the expense or exploitation or whatever he said about the US as a reserve currency. Counting down.... 10, 9, 8..

A bunch of folks showed up to the Bothell City Council tonight to speak against a potential resolution affirming Bothell as a welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people. Here was Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson's response.

None of this means it wont work. None of this means they don't have the exact same goals and dreams as the dozens of puffed-up pathetic little men who did it before them. But it does mean that they're all the way out on a limb right now much more alone than they think

If everyone would stop making stupid assumptions about his intentions, we would all be further ahead. He craves attention and tariffs give him nonstop attention. None of it makes sense, he is a fool, and here is a graph illustrating how the rest of the world has been exploiting the USA.

Constant dollar GDP per capita (most often used to indicate wealth or standard of living), illustrating the USA at levels above Canada, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, east asia & pacific and China. The ONLY outlier is Saudi Arabia from around 1970 - 1985 Source: World Bank data https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.KD?locations=US-CA-DE-JP-SA-Z4-CN

International system has benefited the US tremendously already. If you simply redistributed within the US and taxed the fucking ultrarich you would do away with a lot of your problems. Oh, and education? Americans might want to invest a little more in that.

Canadians have a little something to say about the US military being a "public good" and the assumption it makes sense for Canada to buy US military equipment (madly reassessing F35 purchase at the moment). The US is the current threat to us so stuff your "public goods".

America... still ignorant of international sentiment on your "exceptional" country. Canadians are avoiding American products & travel, regardless of the price. Good luck with those exports, whether or not they are linked to tax credits on goods or services.

I’m not huge on processed food but more sandwiches, order in & yogurt bowls. Started with small picky children & working full time. But things are different now so will do my best!

Maybe he means we are β€œfirst for stupid” or most stupid. Which would be true if we elect him.

He follows it with the assertion the US will then automate the work. Because China (& Japan) know nothing about automation? And so he isn’t really talking about jobs for low skilled US labour but mechanics, programmers, & automation engineers?
