Trump's tariffs don't make sense because the country he has declared war on most strongly is the USA. Never has such a thing happened before. It's the job of the rest of the world to move on as quickly as possible. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/04...

Trump’s tariffs aren’t meant to make economic sense

The Guardian had an article yesterday headlined: I am sure that a sub-editor who wrote the headline thought that it was logical. It was not. Of course they Trump's tariffs do not make sense. These...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.

This reasoning by DeepSeek for a question that @stephaniekelton.bsky.social asked it is incredible and the fact it includes "Wait, but tariffs are paid by the importing country," means that AI has already surpassed the reasoning ability of 77 million voters. open.substack.com/pub/stephani...

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.
