> "When a politician promises to bring back American manufacturing with tariffs, ask them: who’s going to rebuild the ecosystem Wall Street torched three decades ago? Tariffs won’t fix decades of deindustrialization driven by elite consensus. Only massive, consistent investment in R&D, education, and infrastructure ever could... say the quiet part out loud: America was deindustrialized not by China or Mexico, but by its own ruling class chasing yield.” #WilliamHuo, Intel’s first rep in Beijing

It’s a sad day in America when student journalists must resign or write anonymously because they fear government reprisals.

This is the opposite of free speech.

We already knew that Clearview is a supremely cynical purveyor of facial recognition software that is becoming a core part of the surveillance state. Now, thanks to some great reporting just published in Mother Jones, we also know how transcendentally evil it is.

Fun and frightening to try such techniques on your own containers. Thank goodness for Alpine, stropping things back. Bugs me when there's no basic GNU stack in a container when I need to debug, no less, curl, netstat, ip, dig etc, but you see why

I'm always curious to hear what real-world numbers are like around any new tariffs and here's keyboard.io explaining how if Trump actually goes through with it, prices would double for their high-end keyboards (with no additional profit, all money goes to tariff charges) https://shop.keyboard.io/blogs/news/an-open-letter-to-u-s-customers

Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we’re temporarily pausing US sales of a few of our base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U).

For now, these models will be removed from our US site.

We will continue to provide updates as we have them.

Canada waiting for US economy to implode enough to make America 11th province - #TheBeaverton 🙃 https://www.thebeaverton.com/2025/04/canada-waiting-for-us-economy-to-implode-enough-to-make-america-11th-province/

“With the stock market plunged into chaos by U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, Canadians have decided to simply wait out America’s forthcoming economic collapse and then buy the nation on the cheap.”

They want you to think resistance is futile. But during Trump’s first term, organizing in communities and workplaces proved otherwise. When we organize, we disrupt power. Check out the link in our bio for PM author, Kevin Young’s, piece dissecting the ways in which social movements gained ground in Trump’s first term.

Check out Kevin’s book, Abolishing Fossil Fuels, at pmpress.org.

I don’t understand why people are perpetually surprised by Donald Trump’s actions. His behavior follows a very simple pattern: if he is promising to hurt someone or break something, he is telling the truth. Otherwise, he is lying. That’s it! There is no magic involved.

If you want to know:

-How make sense of food prices

-What scary news on the farm sector actually means

-How to keep the US fed when our leaders undermine trade

It starts with knowing the basics of how farms & money work!
