We need to entirely dismantle the DHS. The fear, the overreaction and the misreading of the lessons of 9/11 are still with us and are the root of why we have fascist forces on the streets. Racism

This has always been the energy behind the coalition. There are various opportunists as well, but it's the unifying factor behind it.
A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins.

Is this what being great again looks like?
Trump’s America, you get executed for disrespecting ICE, Fed Chairs get threatened with criminal indictments if they don’t lower interest rates, and our closest allies for decades are threatened with invasion. We are in a dark place, a place some of us very much expected.

Big win for NYC. I’m looking forward to (even) more enjoyable Manhattan visits. Too bad for 47.
Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…
* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M
So YES this has been a huge success.

It’s taken me years to figure it out but this is exactly the case and has been for long time.
There is no batshit far-right idea that the NYT's "reasonable" conservatives will not launder into polite discourse.

Great movie!
FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!
Where do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.

Imagine… it’s easy if you try.
Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

This is correct. Sorry for taking 3500 words to say it
tl;dr — is this correct?
1) Post 2008, hedge funds are the source of market liquidity
2) Hedge funds have to unwind their positions/mitigate risk quickly when things go badly; "badly" includes periods of high volatility
4) Trump = volatility = no way to escape a liquidity crisis

A grim detail in this story is that university officials are doing *daily monitoring* to see which students have had their visas revoked. Federal officials never informed the schools.

Very good, long read that illustrates the problems with making stuff in the USA from a bike company POV, but it’s generalizable. We don’t want to work low wage factory jobs yet we have still been an innovative and productive country, despite all the BS doomsaying from the current regime.
This is a long read and a really good deep dive into how one small bike manufacturing company is preparing to navigate tariffs. For them right now, the only certainty is uncertainty.
