Trump Mobile is offering phones for $500 —they are just refurbished, and three years old
While true Trump fans await the long-promised golden ‘T1’ phone, his family is selling marked-up older iPhones and SamsungsIo Dodds (The Independent)
Society claims "young men are turning to the Far Right because of feminists" and not "young women are turning to feminism because of Far Right men" because the FIRST RULE of patriarchy is to blame women for everything a man does.

As Steve Downes argues on LinkedIn, when the rich bail out, what's often left is opportunities for others:
'...they don’t just “take their money” with them. They often free up economic energy for everyone else....
When very wealthy people leave, their assets do not vanish. Their property, companies, investments & leadership roles stay in the UK. And this creates real opportunities for others'!
A great bit of positive analysis rather than the usual gloom mongering!
![1. Their property re-enters the market. Ultra-prime homes often sit underused. When the owner leaves, the property is sold or rented, making space for productive use, renovation, and taxation. The OECD notes that asset turnover improves economic efficiency and resource allocation.
2. Their businesses or senior roles are taken over by someone else. When a high-level position changes hands, it opens a path for new leadership, new ideas and new talent. Firms do not disappear because an owner relocates. They continue producing jobs, profits and taxes.
OBR explains that corporate activity remains tied to location, not the personal postcode of an individual.
3. Their investments change hands and become more dynamic. Wealth held in low-activity assets (like empty property or quietly held shares) is often released back into circulation when someone leaves. New owners put capital to work.
IFS research shows that wealth transfers and asset turnover boost productivity when capital is
4. Economic space becomes available. In many cases, a billionaire’s departure removes market bottlenecks. This can allow smaller firms to buy assets, expand, or hire. The economy thrives on competition and circulation, not hoarding.
The OECD calls this process ‘reallocation gains’.

Gov. Tim Walz said about Trump’s racist attack on Somali-Americans:
“It is unprecedented. We have kids going to school today, and
the president called them ‘garbage.’
Condemn this attack or you are complicit in it.
The only thing hurting this state is Trump himself.
Our kids are watching."
I condemn Trump’s racist attack on Somali-Americans.
Boost this if you condemn it too.

Today (December 3rd) is International Day of People with Disabilities - and so I thought I would share this graphic which emphasises that not all disabilities are visible.
This year's theme is 'fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress'; which on a purely practical level make sense as so much promise & potential is lost when people with disabilities are excluded or suffer prejudice in the workplace & more widely!

Despite rumours that ReformUK might be willing to enter some sort of electoral pact with the Tories ahead of the next election, Nigel Farage rejected this idea, suggesting that only a 'reverse tax-over' of the Tories is of any interest to him.
Normally I wouldn't comment on Fararge's fantasy politics, but in this case it perhaps confirms what many suspect; that a badly weakened Tory party may be prey to a stronger populist right challenger.
Time & events will tell.
I'm a Google Workspace admin, and a team member sent me a screenshot showing that a message they wanted to send was being blocked because it violated an organizational policy-- which was news to me-- I hadn't put in place to block messages based on their content.
Turns out Google Workspace now warns by default when the message content mentions gender identity.

Norway is rather unique when it comes to sales of EVs. Last month the % of EVs was 97.6%. This is something to be proud of. Sadly Tesla is 31.2%, which is rather embarrassing.
There is a lot of good choices when it comes to EVs. Make the right choice.

There are many reasons the (formally) middle class might not regard themselves as rich, but the media's obsession with celebrity & the 'rich & famous' likely plays a role:
having moved the public benchmark of richness far rom normal levels of being 'comfortably' well-off, the media have convinced vast numbers of the relatively rich to consider themselves not rich at all... with all sorts of impact on their view of tax & other policies!

"In death, Jamal’s faith would prove to be misplaced. The Washington Post’s erasure of Jamal’s memory and the freedom he stood for has been brewing in the background.
The global opinion section that Jamal wrote for was dismantled. The Jamal Khashoggi fellowship – which was offered to writers speaking out against authoritarian regimes – was left to fade away."

Even before the House passed the Epstein release bill 427 - 1, Mike Johnson and Donald Trump demanded the Senate amend the bill to hide names in the files.....
REPEAT THAT...
Asked if he would press Trump to veto the Epstein release bill if the Senate didn’t amend it, Johnson said he would “cross that bridge” if necessary. He also raised “national security” concerns about the bill Tuesday
Instead, the Senate passed it via unanimous consent!

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman on Shabana Mahmood:
'She talks about immigration tearing our country apart. What is tearing our country - and our communities & families - apart is the hate-filled politics of division and scapegoating. Labour should know better'!
Shabana Mahmood's approach to combatting Reform, which (like others in the Labour Party) is to dignify ReformUK's ideas by adopting them, shows how Labour's strategy on Reform is doomed to fail.

Fresh off its immigration raids into Los Angeles and Chicago, the Trump Department of Homeland Security has launched its operation in Charlotte and has New Orleans in its sights.
Why it matters: The high-profile operations have led to surges in arrests. But they've also galvanized local resistance efforts, and created a playbook for activists in other cities when ICE comes to town.
