The roots of Europe's confidence problem Dave Keating's new book The Owned Continent traces the roots of Europe's dependency on America, with a focus on how Europe's become a cultural colony

"How is it that in recent years Europeans have continued to 'grovel' before 🇺🇸, even as 🇺🇸hostility, ignorance, and contempt for Europe rises to new heights? The answer, Keating says, has to do very much with a lack of confidence, which can be explained by a decades-long American cultural domination."

“appears to” this is why I read the Guardian

Trump and his thugs can do a great deal of damage if not stopped.

We must not succumb to fear or despair.

What can we do now? A few action items occur to me: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/mourning-in-america

US Senate passes bill to boost federal science spending after White House sought major cuts The U.S. Senate voted on Thursday to approve billions of dollars in funding for federal science agencies, rejecting deep cuts proposed by President Donald Trump in space and other areas.

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.

Taking the the skills class is a great start! Good luck!

Do you play for the puffins?

Also remember, the United States gave its word.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Solstice Night, by S. J. Tucker track by S. J. Tucker

Now comes the solstice night
I wish u safe and sound
Whether snow be light
Or heavy on the ground
Our hearts bring back the light
As all the earth must do
May stars fill up our sight
With wishes coming true
My wish this solstice night is grace & peace to you sjtucker.bandcamp.com/track/solsti...
