  • And in the US (I refuse to call it America) helmet laws tend to be selectively enforced against minorities

  • The world is now reversing course to reject Trumpism

  • And the Republican Party is obviously a lost cause when they held that CPAC conference in Budapest of all places

  • Chuck Schumer struggles to meet the moment as Democrats call for leadership

    Jump

  • Schumer’s seat is only up in 2028 but if enough of his allies - preferably in safe seats - get primaried in 26 and the new progressives hold them in the general election (and hopefully win some back from GOP) I expect he will be forced out of leadership for the next Congress

    It has to have enough shift to progressives or else he will take credit and stay on. He will also be ousted if Democrats lose again but in that scenario MAGA will continue unchecked for 2 more years at least

  • Maybe that’s why he’s also struggling to get his message heard

  • Germany: Intelligence agency says entire AfD 'extremist'

    Jump

  • That’s a good parallel - AfD like the Dixiecrats and now the GOP MAGA base have a geographical stronghold (in this case the “new states” of former East Germany)

    An alternate future without German reunification is interesting to imagine, ditto one without a Aus Civil War where the south just seceded

  • Trump took the US economy to the brink of a crisis in just 100 days

  • Maybe the broligarchy currently in charge will finally disabuse people of the notion of white male superiority. Maybe…

  • Walmart, Target CEOs privately warned Trump tariffs could lead to empty shelves soon

  • The problem is the electoral system. In a system that allows for voting for smaller parties without wasting your vote, the US would probably have 4-5 parties at least. Red state moderates would not be lumped together with progressives, and main street Republicans with the evangelical wing with MAGA

  • Yeah. I know Indonesia is cracking down on phone smuggling now by locking carrier access to registered IMEIs

    If you bring one back you get a cheaper import fee if you declare it immediately

  • Japan keeps asking the US what it wants in trade talks and can't get an answer | Forexlive

  • Negotiations might not be fruitful but if you know that going in, and it can stave off tariffs for a while it might be worth it really. Just set expectations accordingly - and prepare for the worst. And don’t give actual concessions

  • Trump fumes that he ‘can’t even go after’ January 6 investigators pardoned by Biden

  • Move to a border state like Washington, get an enhanced driver license and cross into Canada? EDL functions like a passport for land crossings.

    Not sure what sort of federal checks are done for issuing those and if it’s still possible, sorry

  • Finland votes: Social Democrats take the win as Finns Party (far-right) support collapses

  • Good point. Though I wonder how much is due to Hitler being chancellor and Goering the minister president of Prussia.

  • “The European Union won’t take chicken from America. They won’t take lobsters from America. They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak. It’s unbelievable” Lutnick told FoxNews

  • I’m based in the US and I refuse to buy most of the chicken on sale either. Heritage chicken only please

  • What are your rights if U.S. border authorities ask for your phone?

  • I will only travel with work devices from now on. Big tech is complicit in electing Trump, they can deal with my devices being seized by immigration
