What would a second Trump presidency mean for the global economy?\
Donald Trump inherited a strong economy from President Obama and managed it poorly.Real GDP grew more slowly under Trump than it had under any president since the second world war. He was the only president since then to preside over a fall in the number of workers with a job.
In 2016, the United States (US) economy was the world’s largest; by 2020 China’s was more than 10% bigger.

I had missed our robins so much! They came back this week and it's been lovely to see them run around the yard.
Don't they look so optimistic, with their head tilted up?
It’s kind of amazing after nearly a decade of soft-pedaled euphemisms to see headlines from mainstream sources calling lies ‘lies’ AND making connections between those lies and their outcomes.

Native leaders in Alaska say the state's adoption of a new election system in 2020 has expanded access.

I'm happy with the result so far!

Been late getting to play it, and honestly, It's shown me how poor I am in terms of reaction times and general #gaming "skill", but some of the scenes in #EldenRing are utterly outstanding.
Also runs buttery smooth with #Proton #LinuxGaming - GNU/Linux really is a perfectly valid choice for someone who might enjoy some light casual gaming.
I feel your pain. I haven't submitted an app to Apple in years. 
I feel that Apple's reviewers often truly 'represent' the dumb possible user interactions.
They expect something like an overly complicated tutorial, and have a exaggerated animation 'You Got Mouse' and animate it entering the menu button. Have the menu button pulse, and highlight new items not used before....

Volunteer-run kitchens in greater Khartoum are helping to sustain residents at risk of famine in Sudan. But those who run them say they need more support amid ongoing conflict, as VOA’s Henry Wilkins explains.
I'm getting word from activists at City Hall this morning reporting an excessive deployment of police by SPD and the city council.
During this morning's city safety council meeting council members held public comment about SOAP/SODA legislation which aims to jail and fine sex workers and homeless people $5k for existing in major parts of town.
CM Cathy Moore's loitering laws have caused significant community resistance so council members cut short public comment.
#Seattle #SPD #CathyMoore
Activist held a noise demo Sunday evening at councilman Bob Kettle's house(the guy who called the cops on public commentors).
Councilman Kettle is ramming through the new Seattle stop and frisk law SOAP/SODA. It targets anyone who looks homeless, is dressed similarly to a sexworker or looks like they do drugs and enables cops and courts to banish people from large swaths of neighborhoods.
Unsurprisingly, Bob Kettle lives in Seattle's favorite Sun Down town.

I called the cops to file a report. We have photos of the assailants and videos. Most appeared to live on the block with the councilman and some home addresses of assailants were documented. The EMTs arrived within about 10min.
The cops NEVER showed up to take the report. We waited two hours.
People ask why we protest?
They destroyed our gardens.
They shutdown public comment.
They passed laws, attempting to criminalize homeless people existing near Mutual Aid services
In the medium term I'd like some support completing my fundraiser to spend time with my newborn.
I also at the same time am working on the start of some formal processes to hold this current Seattle City Council accountable. I can't talk about that in detail until documents are completed and filed due to rules. But I'm going to need a bit of heads down time to get that project fully into flight.
In the short term, I'm gonna need a day or two to recover but might need some sleuthing help to get to a final ID on the primary assailant.
If you or someone you know has had to sue over these sorts of issues in the King County area I'd love a lawyer recommendation or help sleuthing once I make content available (hopefully I caught the money shot 🤞🏿).
I'm fairly certain the neighbors we were able to already ID know the identity of the attacker, so I'm confident we can shake something loose.
Seattle city council is probably about to do some bullshit.
I'm still a bit dazed from the getting assaulted thing, would normally try and give public comment, but I'm really not feeling up to much rn.
People waiting for the meeting report a notable increase in police presence. Folks who spoke last week say they were indentified by cops and followed around while waiting.
They are just calling the meeting to order now.
#Seattle #SOAP #I137 #socialhousingnow
Ok it seems the council has finally revealed their sabotage plan for I-137.
They introduced an alternative which reduces the $50M for social housing down to $10M ‼️
It also changes the funding source to literally take it out of other existing services already limited budget. 🚨
But the voters petition, which passed and their trying to ignore, would use a small tax on Seattle's mega corps and large businesses.
They will likely delay I-137 to Thursday's meeting.
House Our Neighbors, the folks who've been introducing social housing initiatives, are holding a public discussion tonight about the alternative bill.
Tonight's discussion was supposed to be a public forum with Tanya Woo(who was super uninformed last few council votes lol) but she dropped out. Probably bc she doesn't want to be questioned about this new sabotage proposal.
