The fact that @kyivindependent.com has been able to sustain (and expand) its work in Ukraine for four tumultuous years is really one of the most remarkable journalism stories of the decade (and worth supporting!). kyivindependent.com/email/67f478...

Can't help but think about how, as you are asked to donate food or resources to help feed your neighbors, billionaires are getting even bigger tax deductions for donating to a gold-foil ballroom no one asked for.

Did the TVs on the Qatari-donated Air Force One plane come with pre-installed AI videos telling President Trump to do this?

G'morning! So far other than cheery dispatches from L.A., my feed includes such features as "Witnessing an ICE arrest, here are your rights," explainers of posse comitatus and a reminder when returning to the US from overseas your phone can be searched without warrant. This is the America we want?

Let's be clear. If you did a Google search, downloaded a spreadsheet, and divided one number in it by another, you did not do an "in-depth analysis" or "investigation."
You barely even did math.

Just realized (because I had to log in for something else) that I’ve somehow survived for three months without Amazon Prime. ✅ Indie bookstores. ✅ Indie hardware stores. ✅ Ordered straight from manufacturers. And bought a lot less crap on a whim.

Looked for you at the Bandstand today. Then at City Hall Plaza. Can't believe we missed each other in the tens of thousands of people showing up for democracy in the face of demagogues and despots who are exceptionally bad at economics. #handsoff

Just musing that not only are the tariffs illogical, but because of the way they were calculated, there is no easy way to negotiate. How exactly do countries that don’t actually tariff US goods reduce their trade surplus with the US?
