US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota
Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.
One court decision, two different headlines.
Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Drönarna innebär svårare skador, långa väntetider på evakuering, att evakueringarna tar längre tid och det i sin tur att amputeringar och njurskador blir fler. Många tvingas vänta i dagar på evakuering, med tryckförbanden på. Liv kanske kan räddas, men inte de extremiteter som förbanden ligger på.
Dan Helenius reportage från militärsjukhus i #Charkiv och från fronten med fältsjukvårdare ur #Khartija-kåren. Drönarna innebär att fronten i #Ukraina är ofarbar annat än nattetid. Skadade evakueras med markdrönare, men oftast bärandes och släpandes i upp till tio kilometer. yle.fi/a/7-10084807

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

just what you want to be doing right now, telling the world that US capital ratios don't include leverage on a class of securities where many of them have large unrealised mark to market losses.
For veterans of the Eurozone crisis, this is quite incredible - today Greece has a lower borrowing cost than both the UK and the US for their 10 year bonds.
I had to check, all of the previous so called 'PIIGS' (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) have lower borrowing costs than the US today.
What an epic journey! Still, at least he got paid at every stage of his trek along Hypocrisy Way...

Al Capone on the cover of TIME Magazine
Maybe it’s because I spent the weekend in Chicago, but I’ve been thinking a lot about how the exact same qualities that made Al Capone a folk hero in the Roaring Twenties—wealth, excess, ruthlessness, flagrant lawbreaking—made the American public turn on him after the 1929 stock market crash. 🗃️🧵
I’m confused as to how the design and execution of this tariff policy wasn’t flawless. 🇺🇸
Important story that might be buried under another day of Trump induced market turmoil - there is mounting evidence that Russian actors had at least knowledge of some of the terror attacks that heavily influenced Germany‘s election campaign before they happened:
“Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose — to help people.” Among the last words of the Palestinian paramedic who was found in a mass grave, shot in the head. If these are not war crimes, I don’t know what is.

This is the thing.
Manufacturing jobs 100 years ago were dangerous, precarious, and poorly paid.
Manufacturing jobs 70 years ago were a golden ticket to the middle class.
The jobs didn't change. What changed was the New Deal and unions.
I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
