“Trump’s erratic trade policies are baffling businesses, threatening investment and economic growth.” — AP
Tariffs shall apply to all exports unless we have a surplus of certain exports and need to offload. Then we’ll cut you a great deal. You like corn?
Tariffs shall apply to all imports unless more than 50 percent of American children ask for that import for Christmas. Remember: Kids don’t really want loose poutine in their stockings.
If you tariff us after we’ve already tariffed you, we’ll tariff you again. It’ll definitely stop there. Probably.
Tariffs shall apply to all cars not made in the United States unless the cars made in the United States need parts from other countries to legally be considered a car. The same applies to airplanes, but honestly, no one’s keeping track of airplanes.
Tariffs shall not be in effect on April Fools’ Day (To be clear: There’s not not not not not tariffs on April 1.)

As the saying goes, ‘If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.’ Right now, Thames Water, a vital public utility serving a quarter of England’s population, is being devoured by powerful corporate interests. The public has been completely sidelined. It’s high time the 82 percent of us who want water in public ownership […]
In his memoir Returning to Reims, the author Didier Eribon recalls his father’s revulsion towards French politicians and the journalists in whose presence they were far too comfortable. Watching TV after a day’s work in a factory, the negativity he felt over their chummy familiarities was matched only by his satisfaction when a trade unionist ‘with a worker’s accent’ arrived on the […]

March 10th, 2025: Unrelated to the above comic, but I just spent 5 days in New York City and not ONCE did someone say "Hey, I'm wa I earlier wrote that the West’s elites were too tentative in their approach to lawfare, using Trump (where I’m right) and Georgescu as examples. With Goergescu they had initially just annulled an election, but let him run again. Seems I was wrong about Georgescu. Using charges of Russian influence after “finding” weapons and cash and whatnot in his network. I’m—skeptical, at best, this looks like a stitch up to me, but I can’t rule out that it isn’t fake. So Romania has now banned Georgescu from running at all. But here’s the thing, take a look at the polling: Life expectancy has fallen since Covid in almost every country although the policy response has been exactly the opposite to what should be expected. We now have the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services advocating ‘personal choice’ in vaccine take up while he recommended Vitamin A to deal with a spreading measles outbreak…
ABC’s Antony Green applauded for his analysis of Western Australia’s election that saw Roger Cook returned as premier. Cyclone Alfred impacts on the South-East Queensland and Northern NSW coastline. Conflict in Syria must challenge Australia’s government while a policeman in the UK advises protesters it is ok to protest for Israel, but not Palestine. Once Continue reading »
This is the Polish foreign minister: Speaking of small men… That’s li’l Marco trying to make amends with Elon by doing a very adorable little Col. Nathan Jessup impression: And, needless to say, Musk is very much threatening to pull Starlink and he will have Trump and Putin’s total support if he does it. In fact, it will probably be their idea. (I guess his statement that he challenged Putin to one on one physical combat is supposed to make us all tingly down there or something… I’m not sure. But it’s a very weird non-sequitur.) Update: Trust him? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
NBC News reports: As U.S. and Ukrainian officials prepare to meet in Saudi Arabia this week, President Donald Trump has privately made clear to aides that a signed minerals deal between Washington and Kyiv won’t be enough to restart aid and intelligence sharing with the war-torn country, according an administration official and another U.S. official. Trump wants the deal, which would give the U.S. a stake in Ukraine’s mineral resources, signed. But he also wants to see a change in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s attitude toward peace talks, the officials said, including a willingness to make concessions such as giving up territory to Russia. Trump also wants Zelenskyy to make some movement toward elections in Ukraine and possibly toward stepping down as his country’s leader, the officials said. Elections in Ukraine have been paused under the country’s constitutional provision for martial law, which has been in effect since Russia invaded in 2022. I don’t think there’s any doubt about Trump is up to.
Good evening Brussels! We once had a dream. It was a dream of what Europe could have been. A Europe of shared prosperity, dignity, freedom – a Europe of Peace and Hope. That dream is now dead, lost, gone, kaput. Why? What the hell happened to Europe? We know what happened to Europe! We know […] The post WTF happened to Europe? Speech at DiEM25’s Brussels Event (National Theatre, 7th March 2025) appeared first on Yanis Varoufakis. “It is pretty wild how you can make someone mad by just holding a sign,” my 18-year-old Ro told me, as an irate driver peeled out of the intersection, shaking both his middle fingers at us but managing not to hit us. Phew! Ro was right. It didn’t take much to turn a perpetually busy intersection in New London, Connecticut, into a discussion forum on presidential overreach, cruelty, and immigration politics — with all the excesses, including those fingers, of the Age of Trump. In fact, all it took was four of us, four signs, and a little midday coordination. Oh, and some noise makers! Our signs said: “New London cares about our neighbors” and “ICE Not Welcome” and two...
