I love that May Day is on a Friday so we can appreciate the weekend directly afterwords. And we don’t need to do this again. Yet. #mayday #iwd
A statue commemorating the Haymarket Riots in Chicago on May 4, 1886. The haymarket riots began when workers were rallying for their rights (safe working conditions, fair pay, weekends) after police killed unionists at a demonstration the day before.  Police were looming and oppressing as per usual when an unidentified anarchist threw a bomb at the cops. This went badly for everyone. Innocent people were killed. Some were later executed by the state after being falsely convicted …but oddly this helped change public opinion in favor of workers and afterward, and led to May 1 being identified as IWD going forward.

Legitimate, adj: Being exactly as intended or presented : neither spurious nor false. — I don’t think that applies to anything crypto.
A very sad tale of G Love who lost 424,000 of his life savings after downloading a “fraudulent app that appeared to be legitimate” to something crypto. G Love is seen here playing guitar and harmonica and looking downtrodden. A reminder to stop playing with fake money.

Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

I created a little table of day of the week with US rhetoric against Iran and market reaction. It's almost like there's a tradable pattern here, kids. Talks monday - markets hopeful, threats Tuesday, escalation Friday - Sunday daily/futures markets fall.
Table tracking Trump's Iran war rhetoric (escalation vs. de-escalation) and U.S. equity market reaction across 6 weeks (Feb 28–Apr 7, 2026). Rows = days of week. Columns = weeks. Each cell shows conflict direction (✈️↑ escalation / ✈️↓ de-escalation / ✈️→ neutral) and market reaction ($↓ equities down/oil up · $↑ equities up/oil down · $→ mixed/flat).
Key patterns: Friday is the only day with a perfect 6-for-6 escalation record — every Friday produced an escalation signal and a down-market reaction without exception. Saturdays followed the same pattern in weeks 1–5 before going neutral in week 6. Sundays were escalatory in weeks 1–3, shifted to de-escalation in week 4, neutral in week 5, then returned to escalation in week 6 (Trump's "Power Plant Day / Bridge Day" civilian infrastructure threat). Mondays showed the most variability — alternating between escalation and de-escalation signals — and were the only days to produce a positive market reading (week 6, S&P +0.4% as markets began discounting Trump's deadlines as performative). Mid-week (Tue–Thu) was mixed across weeks, with escalation dominant in weeks 2, 4, and 5. Week 1 (war's opening days) was notably calm mid-week before Friday's shock. The overall pattern confirms a recurring weekly cycle: mid-week diplomatic signals stabilize markets briefly, Friday–Saturday rhetoric resets to maximum pressure, Sunday reloads the cycle.

New York Times indicates the stocks saw the biggest loss since the war in Iran started with the S&P 500 following 1.7%.

A lot has changed in 3 years since the #SVB collapse. SVB, First Republic, Signature, and some argue Credit Suisse all disappeared quickly and were quickly absorbed by the ecosystem (First Citizens, Chase, UBS). But always remember how this started.

In case you haven’t noticed - Trump’s administration starts by attacking a marginalized or unprotected person to see how severe public opinion and republican resistance will be. Then, after moving the Overton window, he directs the cannon at anyone. Lemon today, Maddow later, Weiss ultimately.

Now Anna Giaritelli at the Washington Examiner (who has good DHS sources) says it's actually ALL Border Patrol agents who are being pushed out of Minneapolis.
If so, it's a big step back, given how aggro Border Patrol has been. However, that would still likely leave thousands of other DHS officers.

CONFIRMED: All Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis are being sent home, per sources. DHS/CBP have not responded to email.
This comes after federal sources told me that over the weekend, agents
were told their deployment would be extended into February. Major
change in <24 hours.

Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.
