I predict that by Black Friday shopping and Christmas shopping, in general, inflation will be at an all time high - double digits.

🚨 Call to action!
Help protect key ME/CFS language in the House Appropriations process.
The Senate included several major wins for the ME/CFS community in its FY26 funding bills. We need the House to ensure this language makes it all way through committee votes, full floor votes and the reconciliations process.
Please contact your house representative! You can use this automated toolkit to send email or call:

"A Democrat and a Republican will team up to try to ban masked law enforcement in Oregon"
"Their proposal would prohibit law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings and would require them to wear 'official uniforms' with badge numbers and names. It would not apply to SWAT teams or undercover police officers as they currently operate."

这是比较中性的bbc的报道：
比我之前连接的视频好一点。
总的来说，感觉非常不对。
1. 特别是美国的报道的味道好像也有被人故意带扁的嫌疑
2. 这么大的事情，本应该是非常的有关注度的，但有感觉又好像被操控了
3. 中国那里...算了，这变态的中共就算有报道了也是吹吹牛
US tariffs boil down to a regressive sales tax that largely affects non-wealthy people after the removal of the de minimis exclusion. Combined with the bill that reduced the tax burden of the wealthy and corporations, the net result is to accelerate the movement of wealth to the wealthy. That's been happening for decades, but at this point it's now eroding ordinary peoples' hobbies to the point that they might have to give them up.

Department of Homeland Security called the supreme court decision a victory and vowed to continue to “flood the zone” in Los Angeles while accusing LA mayor Karen Bass of “protecting” immigrants. “DHS law enforcement will continue to FLOOD THE ZONE in Los Angeles. This decision is a victory for the safety of Americans in California and for the rule of law. DHS will continue to arrest and remove the criminal illegal aliens that @MayorOfLA is protecting,” read the social media post.

Empower young people to make better decisions than we've made: encourage critical thinking.
🤔 Critical Thinking Tips
#2 Be Questioning.
Don't accept everything you hear or read:
▪️ What is the source?
▪️ Who is sharing this?
▪️ Why are they sharing this?
▪️ How is it supported by facts?
▪️ Where can I learn more?
Foster curiosity in young people to support a lifetime appreciation of learning.
📣 Question what you hear and question what you read.

"'Survivors need protection, resources and legal support. If this Congress is serious about justice, then let this moment also affirm your commitment to provide victims with the legal aid they need,' De Georgiou said at a press conference organized by Republican Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democrat Ro Khanna of California, who are trying to force a vote on that bill."

So Americans witnessed what IDF snipers to do Palestinian kids everyday done to one of their own Nazi talking heads (likely by more deranged right wing nut job provocateur) & he openly celebrated killing of brown kids. Yet most wants everyone to feel sympathy for his wife & kids. If you give a shit so much about kids, stop worrying about the feelings of a Nazi's family and do something tangible to stop children being killed everyday by your own citizens working for the IDF.
Interesting— the person #trump plans to posthumously commend with the highest civilian honor claimed in 2023 that there were “prowling Blacks” who “go around for fun to target white people.”
And in 2024, he said, “We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately.”

It turns out Lisa Cook, the #Fed governor that the #Trump admin tried to oust “for cause,” doesn’t seem to have committed mortgage fraud after all. Imagine that.
She said her non-primary residence was meant for “vacation home” property use in loan documents & called it a “second home” in a security clearance questionnaire.
Her lender knew it was a non-primary residence, for which she agreed to terms and even paid more than the primary-residence mortgage rate.

In today's post for @medium, I write about the troubling reactions to last week's killing of #CharlieKirk.
Here's a link to bypass the paywall:
20 minute documentary “How to erase a people“
on why settler-colonialism is an aboslute evil, how a people and their culture co-exist and evolve with nature, how their language is specific to their way of life, and how their way of life is shaped by the land on which they live. Ultimately, uprooting a people, forcing them to move to another land, necessarily destroys their way of life and erases their culture.
#Palestine #Gaza #WestBank #Genocide #HumanRights #SettlerColonialism
80 minute documentary film “Israelism“ (by Vice, on YouTube)This film makes very clear what motivates Jewish pro-Palestinian people in the US to protest, and how their Jewish faith makes their conviction in peace and humanitarianism so powerful.

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have only a 5 seat majority. It is a key pressure point against Trump's authoritarian agenda.
5 calls is the easiest and most effective way for US constituents to make a political impact.
Make it clear to them that We, The People will hold Republicans responsible for trying to take away our hard-won freedoms.
Some of the best commentary I've read:
"I canceled my Disney+ subscription last night, along with hundreds of others — maybe even thousands. It felt good, but I’m not dumb enough to think that it will *do* any good. I canceled my Amazon Prime subscription when Jeff Bezos dismantled the Washington Post. I cancelled my Spotify subscription years ago over Joe Rogan’s anti-vax comments. It made no difference because these are billionaires making billion-dollar deals, and my monthly subscription is not going to put a dent in it."
"Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers still have jobs because Comcast — the owner of NBCUniversal — has not yet needed FCC approval for anything. But if and when they do, Comcast will throw Fallon and Meyers directly under the bus, too, because at this point, they make less for the corporation than it would cost them to fight off the federal government."

I decided to update my profile slightly, in light of recent events in the USA. I am now a registered Antifa Terrorist (USA Only), and a proud Anti-Fascist, just like several generations of my family before me, and those after.
The Fascist regime in the USA needn't expect me to visit their occupied country any time soon anyway. The rest of the world beckons, and has much to offer.
I give it 50/50 odds that Trump will nuke or carpet bomb a USA city in the next 3 years. Yes, I’m serious.
Hyperbole? I bloody well pray it is!
But look at the man. It would be the ultimate show of domination. And that is all this narcissistic madman craves.

Trump and MAGA intend to starve their rivals and adversaries of federal funding when/wherever possible.
Defenders of democracy will need to push back by starving the federal govt of revenues.
This means, eg, NY and CA withholding $$ they send upstream.
It also means tax resistance from ordinary people. If you owe federal taxes in April, consider filing for an extension or making payments rather than a lump sum.
Power of the “powerless.”
Pls boost.
