Trump’s pitch on tariffs and undermining alliances is nationalistic, a vision of booming domestic manufacturing and repatriated jobs prompting a reflowering of masculinity.
But it’s not deglobalization, it’s de-Americanization. The world economy will move on, to China’s benefit.

Ever since I was a teen and started to use/think critically about #technology , I've been a fan of Cory Doctorow. One of my favourites back in the day was Pirate Cinema, and it instilled in me a kind of ethos that is brought to light in this new book. That is to say, I read this as a kind of manifesto.
And since you're all here on the #fediverse , I'd bet you gain something from reading this.

If you need to move from a #redState to a #blueState because you are #trans or #nonBinary, etc. these folks are offering interest-free #loans.
Keshet-HFLS “Move to Thrive” Interest-Free Loan Program
Applicants do not have to be Jewish and can be moving from any state in the U.S. to any state in the U.S. (but not outside of the country).
To qualify, applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Have plans to move to a different state within three months of receiving an HFLS loan and be able to submit documentation of their move OR plan to move no later than six months from the time they receive the loan.
- Have annual household income sufficient to support loan repayment, and no higher than the HFLS income limits.

#CW: talk of abuse, control, and food.
This morning at breakfast my partner apologized for leaving the heel* of the bread loaf for me, and I was reminded of how much my ex used to control my eating.
*there was another loaf thawing, so I could have easily eaten that instead of the heel.
I used to get a "talking-to" for:
- eating the last of anything my ex might want.
- not eating the last of anything my ex didn't want.
- asking for things I wanted (like Swiss cheese**).
- cooking something for myself that they liked.
- cooking something for myself they didn't like.
- not cooking things just the way they liked.
- eating "too much".
- being "too thin".
**earlier in my relationship with my current partner, while we were at the grocery store, they asked if there was any cheese I wanted. I said "I like Swiss" as I broke down crying, following up with "but I'm not really allowed to get it".
My current partner is amazing, and my ex is my ex for a lot of good reasons, and I'm happy-sad crying a bit this morning, and I just want anyone who this list resonates with to know they aren't alone—that's abuse, plain and simple—and you can get out too.

The setting is a wooden room with a pink carpet on the floor. In the center, there is a black cat-like creature with a white cross on its back, standing on the carpet. The walls and floor are made of wooden planks, and the ceiling is partially visible, also made of wood. The text "xaviersobased" is displayed prominently at the top of the image, likely indicating the creator's username or a title. The perspective is from above, looking down into the room.

The image depicts a scene from a blocky, pixelated video game environment, reminiscent of Minecraft. In the foreground, there is a cat-like character with a gray and white fur pattern, standing on a wooden floor. The cat has a distinctive appearance with a gray head, white body, and a pink tongue visible. Above the cat, the text "xi jinping" is prominently displayed in white, pixelated font.
In the background, there is a wooden structure with stairs, and a character dressed in black is seated on one of the higher levels. The setting includes wooden blocks forming the walls and floor, with a window-like structure visible in the upper left corner, suggesting an indoor environment. The overall color palette consists of earthy tones, primarily browns and greens, with the white text providing a stark contrast.
