I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.
Walmart, Target (where I do not shop), ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?
I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.
There's two major issues in play, from what I can tell:
1) The advertising model of media is terrible. Substack does this much better, because writers produce content for THE READERS, not to get outrage clicks.
2) Since the "modernization" of the Smith-Mundt Act, it's completely legal for media and government to collude and outright lie to Americans.
The first issue is already working itself out -- millions of people are abandoning 'legacy' media for truthful voices -- here at Substack and elsewhere as well. elgatomalo calls this the "reputation economy".
But sooner or later we run into problem 2 -- the government would rather subsidize failing media industries so they can control the information. You see this in Canada already, and there was a recent bill in the US that would 'reward' loyal media outlets. (Ironically leading to the unraveling of #1!)
To top it all off, the liars are the ones calling US liars and calling for measures that would crack down on dangerous 'malinformation' -- which is true but inconvenient.

Great comment! I'm pinning it.
Thank you! Hope things are well in your part of the world :)
About the same time, I noticed a huge uptick in people joining GAB, a truely free speech site. Yes there is a lot of garbage on it, but also a lot of information one would not ordinarily hear. And quite a few Canadians.
I used to be on there. Couldn't take the ignorant Nazis anymore.

Indeed. See the Judas list:

Trump so quickly and effectively secured the border, with no new laws, that it's pretty much not even mentioned in the news anymore. But it's remarkable!
Historically the ruling class used war to reduce the size of the able-bodied population to prevent revolution at home. Kill off the strong young lads and the Praetorian Guard will still be able to protect the king. The downside risk of course was losing the war. In the late 20th century the ruling class discovered that they could get all of the benefits of war — massive profits and reductions in the size of the able-bodied population at home — via the vaccine program. Instead of the ruling clas…

I'm deeply skeptical of the notion that NIH can just gather a bunch of data, run a regression analysis, and know the causes of autism.
Vaccine records are stored in many different places so it's nearly impossible to create a complete patient profile.
Most medical records won't show exposures to pesticides, phthalates, EMF, etc.
AI only makes things worse by giving a false sense of confidence to bad data.
Data from "wearables and smartwatches" are worse than useless.
