Dont' miss this excellent story from Gillian Brockwell, who found the mystery ICE flight to Africa & teamed up with several of us yesterday to track it halfway around the world. As of this morning, we haven't seen the plane leave Djibouti. bsky.app/profile/gbro...
My account of tracking the plane flying immigrants to South Sudan over the past 23 hours. As I explain here, it's likely the plane can't leave Djibouti until 10 hours after it landed. That's in about 45 minutes. hardghistory.ghost.io/a-private-je...

She is always right.
Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...
This needs to all be explained to everyone everyday until they get it!
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature. Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.
No comments allowed on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social post. Maybe because y’all still take trump at his word. But he’s given conflicting reasons for tariffs. We all know the real reason. He wants to make America like Russia and himself like Putin. Any other analysis is wrong!!!

Update: Elon Musk has now posted several times in support of Georgescu; Trump has also threatened Romania in the last few days trying to pressure them to allow the Russian operative to run for presidency. JD Vance specifically went to Europe to add pressure on this issue.

Wait a minute. You mean to say that we don’t need to blanket the earth with data centers and coal & gas plants to maybe arrive at a future where we can wave a magical AGI wand to make all of the consequences of that go away? Yes. This is a false trade off. Let that sink in. 16/

So it doesn’t matter if you're a company in the US, China, or elsewhere. DeepSeek should be a cue to pivot HARD toward investing in far more efficient methods of AI development. Even if you care nothing about community & climate impacts, it’s just better business. 19/
