The regime is buying up warehouses to retrofit into concentration camps.
But Trump’s massive expansion of detention facilities is so unpopular that even some Republicans are speaking out against DHS’ plans.
Urge your Members of Congress to do everything they can to stop ICE’s warehousing of people: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/reject-the-deportation-and-detention-agenda/?source=mastodon
Far right agitator Shane Carroll, who is extremely unstable and easily triggered, once again brandished his gun outside the ICE facility in Portland, OR last night. This time he was pointing his gun at street medics and de-escalators. This is at least the 4th time he has done this that I’m aware of. #pdx #portland

Oh good grief, this summary is both farcical and tragic: also, Trump has fucked air travel for at least the next two years, never mind automobiles and logistics. The supply chain shock will get as bad as 2022 within a couple of months—then keep getting worse.
Meanwhile, a thought about the Macbook Neo:
The Neo uses an A18 Pro SOC, the 2024 iPhone Pro cpu—the iPhone 17 Pro runs on the A19 Pro. (The Neo soaks up their stockpile of high-end phone rejects.)
Apple's about to ramp up for the 2026 iPhones, which will release in September on the A20Pro.
Phones outsell laptops by a huge margin so I think the current Neo will be quietly replaced by an A19 Pro model in September, to use up the reject stockpile once as iPhone 17 sales tapers off.

Implication: if you want a Macbook Neo this year, maybe wait until September—unless you expect the coming supply chain shock to hit Apple, too. Which is not impossible if TSMC can't meet their chip delivery dates.
If that happens, prices will shoot up and scarcity economics will take over, so buy now and be prepared to run it for the next decade.

It was the gas cutoff due to the Russian war of aggression against #Ukraine which finally got the #EU and most of the rest of #Europe to finally start catching up with #ParisAgreement obligations by accelerating the transition to energy efficiency and #renewableEnergy. They could no longer keep dragging their feet once their own citizens were freezing in the dark.
How might the #Trump and #Netanyahu war of aggression against #Iran paradoxically affect global demand for #fossilFuels? Will those two oligarchs end up unintentionally accelerating the global energy transition and destroying the majority of the oil and gas market?
In the short term, fossil fuel oligarchs may profit, but in the long term, with #OperationEpsteinFury and Trump's war crimes and crimes against humanity against #Cuba compounding the global effect of Putin's repeated war crimes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, it's now undeniable that distributed renewable energy generation and storage are not only necessary for the #climateCrisis, but also for economic stability, #sovereignty, and #nationalSecurity.
