After stock markets plummeted in response to Donald Trump’s announcement of widespread tariffs, he suddenly announced a 90-day pause on the new policy. Capital will resist any measure that threatens profits — and that’s just what happened yesterday.

The report recommended that if global red meat eating was cut by 50%, the “planetary health diet” would provide nutritious food to all while tackling the harms caused by animal agriculture, which accounts for over 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. It suggested individuals – particularly in wealthy countries – should increase their consumption of nuts, pulses and other plant-based foods while cutting meat and sugar from their diets.

A leaked document seen by the climate website DeSmog reveals that helping to fuel this backlash was a PR firm, Red Flag, which represented the Animal Agriculture Alliance, a meat and dairy industry coalition set up to protect the sector against “emerging threats”, and which has staff from Cargill and Smithfield Foods – two of the world’s five largest meat companies – on its board.

Los Angeles’ political class—regardless of party lines and ideological branding—is fully aligned with capital rather than the needs of the unhoused.

They speak of transparency and compassion, but their actions expose a naked agenda: to turn human misery into profits, one contract at a time. This is not just a policy failure. It’s a political crime. And city after city in the US will pay for it—in lives lost, dignity trampled, and a deepening of a social catastrophe that privatization will only make worse.

The homeless were never the problem. The problem is a capitalist ruling class that sees them not as people in need of help—but as a business opportunity to exploit.

Jason Koebler joins for a look at the value of a decentralized approach to the Tech industry and social media in providing users a cohesive and interoperable experience.

In a piece critical of Democratic Party support for Cuomo, the Atlantic‘s David Graham (3/3/25) wrote, “If, in order to curb the far left, Democrats like [Rep. Ritchie] Torres are willing to embrace an alleged sex pest who tried to cover up seniors’ deaths, is it worth it?”

The same might be asked of some in the corporate media, with the New York Times at the top of the list.

By refusing to enforce the Corporate Transparency Act, the Trump administration has gutted key protections against money laundering and financial crime. The message to kleptocrats worldwide is clear: the US is open for anonymous shell company business.

What the Trump administration is doing to the US and what he is eagerly helping Netanyahu to do to the Palestinians are of a piece. Both are criminal, immoral campaigns against domestic and international law, causing immense suffering. Yes, it’s exhausting to contend with two major catastrophes at once. But we don’t have the time or the privilege to put either one aside.

The letter seems to be fitting into a pattern of pro-Israel organizations, such as Canary Mission and Betar, targeting critics of Israel’s military actions, as well as supporters of Palestinian self-determination. Betar says it has provided lists of noncitizen protesters to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security, and other government agencies, recommending deportation.
