I think this says it all, don't you? I've been reading through the Epstein emails because that's a thing I like to do, but I took a break last night and went to a book signing with AFT President Randi Weingarten. She signed a copy of her new book "Why Fascists Fear Teachers". Great book and great evening, although driving home through the Valley afterwards was scary, scary, scary. I'm glad to be home and am not going anywhere else. What's catching your eye this morning? - Karoli read more

Boycotts work. Case in point, Canada's boycott of US goods over Trump's tariff tantrums. CBC reports: The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel's whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces. After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban. During a conference call with investors Thursday, officials with Brown-Forman — the parent company of brands such as Jack Daniel's and Woodford Reserve — noted other pressures, but said the boycott is causing a "significant impact." "While we were encouraged by recent discussions, American spirits products have been off the shelf in Canada for months," said Leanne Cunningham, the chief financial officer for Brown-Forman. "This had a significant impact on our first quarter of fiscal 2026, which will impact our full fiscal year results." It's unclear how much the 62 per cent drop in sales translates to in dollars, but the company's total sales were down three per cent for the quarter.read more

While Donald Trump looks more and more like he’s engaging in a massive cover up of the Jeffrey Epstein files, Rep. Jamie Raskin pointed out that Trump’s policies are far more dangerous for children now than the deceased Epstein can ever be again. Not that that in any way diminishes Trump’s obligation to release the files. He campaigned on that, Raskin said on MSNBC Wednesday night. “He should at least keep that promise.” But there’s a much more damning, child-endangering scheme going on at the White House. Rasking painted the picture: RASKIN: [The administration] dismantled 69 different programs, defunding them through the Department of Labor that were meant to combat human trafficking and child labor around the world. They have dismantled all kinds of programs at the Department of Justice, at HHS and other agencies that were designed to protect people against human trafficking. Raskin also worked in a mention of the Ohio State scandal in which Trump lackey Rep. Jim Jordan is implicated.read more
