Note, the SCOTUS appeal of the NLRB and MSPB firings will look different today now that Trump is attacking the Fed amid a global meltdown. Two weeks ago, the danger of Trump firing Powell (and the consequent panic it would cause) was hypothetical. Today it could be imminent.

On a crisp and cold April day,
The sun peeks through the gray clouds,
Its gentle warmth a promise,
While the air bites with a chill.Tall trees stand like silent sentinels,
Branches swaying in the brisk breeze,
Whispers of winter still linger,
Yet spring's laughter dances nearby.Crisp leaves crunch beneath our feet,
Each step a reminder of nature's song,
Birds chirp a cheerful greeting,
As they flit from branch to branch.

Pine trees wear coats of green,
Fresh buds pushing through the earth,
The world feels alive with possibility,
In this moment, everything seems bright.A distant lake reflects the sky,
Ripples shimmer in the soft light,
Children’s laughter fills the air,
As they chase after playful dreams.This April day, so cool and clear,
Holds the promise of warmth to come,
In upstate New York, nature awakens,
And we too, feel ready to rise.[2/2]

has anyone told Trump that the "great" in "great depression" didn't mean "good"

"The damage isn't theoretical. It's active. It's live. And it's reshaping the world. Trade routes are shifting. Investment is diversifying. Global power is rebalancing. China, Korea, and Japan are shaking hands. All of it is premised on a hard-earned truth: the United States cannot be trusted to lead. Not because of one man but because of what half the country has chosen to normalize. Not because of Trump alone but because every institution built to restrain him failed and then got in line."

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

God damn this.
Mastodon FeedRIP Dave Allen. He was the bass player of two of my favorite bands of all time, Gang of Four and Shriekback. I met him once, about a decade ago. He endured my embarrassing fanboying with grace.
"According to Burnham, Allen passed away at home with his family after enduring the early-onset of mixed dementia for some years."
Guitarist Andy Gill died of COVID in 2020, so now they are Gang of Two.
There is not a lot of decent video of Allen's era, but watch these...

Senator Adam Schiff criticizes the Trump administration for corruption, self-dealing, and disregard for the American people. He highlights actions like promoting meme coins for financial gain, purging the DOJ of loyalists, and using government agencies to protect allies and punish enemies. Schiff argues that Trump's policies, including tax cuts for the wealthy and the gutting of public services, disproportionately harm everyday Americans while benefiting billionaires.

In my ~20 years of doing co-op development, it's always seemed like a contradiction that we want our government to be democratic, but our economic institutions to be dictatorships. It's part of what drew me to co-ops. It's depressing to understand that our corporate overlords also see this contradiction, and want to resolve it in the opposite direction.
