Politics

“So most of the social reactions that strike us as psychological are in actual fact a rational administration of symbolic capital.” –Pierre Bourdieu, Classification Struggles

2024

Lower than a half a 12 months to go!

Democrats have solely simply begun to use it). Swing States (extra right here) nonetheless Brownian-motioning round. In fact, it goes with out saying that these are all state polls, due to this fact unhealthy, and many of the outcomes are throughout the margin of error. If will probably be attention-grabbing to see whether or not the decision in Decide Merchan’s court docket impacts the polling, and if that’s the case, how.

* * *

NBC]. So change the occasion guidelines. However extra critically–

Trump (R) (Folks vs. Trump): “Plot twist: WA has a regulation in opposition to felons working for workplace” [Seattle Times]. “‘I’ve purchasers lined up who’re going to be throughout pursuing a poll problem on this case,’ says David Vogel, a Seattle legal professional and former deputy prosecutor for King County who was briefly concerned in an earlier poll problem in opposition to Trump earlier than the presidential major.” • It could be attention-grabbing to know if there different states with such legal guidelines. Readers? NOTE: Trump is now topic to the legal justice system within the State of New York. It will likely be attention-grabbing to see how that performs out.

* * *

Trump (R): “Behind the Curtain: MAGA’s jail plan” [Axios]. “One other Trump insider pointed to a federal civil rights statute, ‘Conspiracy Towards Rights’” • 18 U.S. Code § 241 – Conspiracy in opposition to rights

If two or extra individuals conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any individual in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District within the free train or enjoyment of any proper or privilege secured to him by the Structure or legal guidelines of the US, or due to his having so exercised the identical; or

If two or extra individuals go in disguise on the freeway, or on the premises of one other, with intent to stop or hinder his free train or enjoyment of any proper or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined beneath this title or imprisoned no more than ten years, or each;

(I assume the “freeway half” is for night time riders within the Civil Rights period.) The Sixth Modification in Bragg’s case, I might say (because the structure of Paul, Weis Bragg’s case didn’t give the Defendant time to organize a correct protection; although I grant the Trump crew isn’t making that argument, and since IANAL, maybe I’ve gotten that flawed).

Trump (R): “A number of Trump Witnesses Have Acquired Important Monetary Advantages From His Companies, Marketing campaign” [ProPublica]. Importantly: “Trump marketing campaign head Susie Wiles, a Florida political advisor, was current when Trump allegedly went past improperly holding onto labeled paperwork and confirmed them to folks missing correct safety clearances. When Trump was indicted on June 8, 2023, over his dealing with of the paperwork, the indictment described Wiles as a ‘PAC consultant.’ It described Trump allegedly displaying her a labeled map associated to a navy operation, acknowledging “that he shouldn’t be displaying it” and warning her to “not get too shut.” That June, Proper Coast Methods, the political consulting agency Wiles based, obtained its highest-ever month-to-month fee from the Trump marketing campaign: $75,000, an quantity the agency has equaled solely as soon as since. Wiles had been a grand jury witness earlier than the indictment. Information experiences indicated Wiles had instructed others that she continued to be loyal to Trump and solely testified as a result of she was pressured to. (And, in keeping with Wiles, Trump was instructed she was a witness someday earlier than the indictment’s June launch.) The Trump marketing campaign official instructed ProPublica that the spike in funds was largely as a result of Wiles was billing for earlier months. She additionally acquired a 20% increase that Could, from $25,000 to $30,000 monthly. ‘She went again and redid her contract,’ the official stated, including that her position as a witness was not a consider that increase. A couple of months later, the Wiles household acquired extra excellent news. Wiles’ daughter Caroline, who had achieved some work for Trump’s first marketing campaign and within the White Home, the place she reportedly left one job as a result of she didn’t move a background examine, was employed by his marketing campaign. Her wage: $222,000, making her presently the fourth-highest-paid staffer. (The Trump marketing campaign official stated her wage included a month-to-month housing stipend.)” Then once more: “‘It feels very shady, particularly as you detect a sample. … I might fear about it having a corrupt affect,’ Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. legal professional for the Jap District of Michigan, stated after listening to from ProPublica about advantages offered to potential Trump witnesses. However McQuade stated these circumstances are tough to show, even when the intent have been truly to affect testimony, as a result of savvy defendants don’t explicitly connect strings to the advantages and would extra probably be ‘all wink and a nod, ‘You’re an excellent, loyal worker, right here’s a increase.’” • And in reality, for those who have a look at the numbers, Wiles is doing an excellent job.

Trump (R): “Wisconsin legal professional common information felony costs in opposition to attorneys, aide who labored for Trump in 2020” [Associated Press]. “Felony forgery costs have been filed in Wisconsin* on Tuesday in opposition to two attorneys and an aide who helped submit paperwork falsely saying that former President Donald Trump had received the battleground state in 2020. The state costs are the primary to come back in Wisconsin and comply with separate costs introduced in Arizona*, Michigan*, Nevada* and Georgia associated to the pretend electors scheme. The Wisconsin costs have been introduced in opposition to Trump’s legal professional within the state, Jim Troupis, 62, legal professional Kenneth Chesebro, 62, who was advising the marketing campaign and Mike Roman, 51, who was Trump’s director of Election Day operations. Roman allegedly delivered Wisconsin’s pretend elector paperwork to a Pennsylvania congressman’s staffer with a purpose to get them to then-Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021. All three are due in Dane County Circuit Court docket on Sept. 19, in keeping with court docket information. They every face one felony rely punishable by as much as six years in jail and fines of as much as $10,000.” • NOTE * Swing states. Could be attention-grabbing to see the karmic hammer strike the Trump marketing campaign in 2024 for the “contingent electors” scheme in 2020 (and even Fani Willis butchered the Georgia case, comparable circumstances are continuing, quietly, elsewhere.

* * *

Trump (R): “Trump’s doc requests reveal VP brief checklist” [Axios]. “Former President Trump has requested monetary and different paperwork from eight potential VP picks as he formalizes his vetting, an official tells Axios. Some candidates acquired extra in depth paperwork requests than others — a doable clue to how hotly they’re being thought of. The contenders, in no explicit order: Sen. J.D. Vance (Ohio); North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum; Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.); Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.); Ben Carson, former HUD Secretary; Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.); Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.); and Sen. Tom Cotton (Ark.). We’re instructed the checklist, reported earlier by Politico and others, may be very a lot topic to vary.” • Time Scott would make some heads explode. Stefanik, too, for that matter.

* * *

Trump (R): “Why Trump’s Second Victory Would Be Worse” [Robert Borosage, The Nation]. Right here, for a change, is a Democrat yarn diagram (higher than the same old, as a result of the relationships are typed; far worse, because the relationships are sometimes free-floating, not connecting any of the gamers):

One such relationship, from Stephen Miller to… nothing, is “Riot Act used to pursue political enemies” (whoever would have give you such an concept). In any case, what that does present is that Undertaking 2025 is “existential” for Democrats, personally. Borosage writes: “In fact, there will probably be resistance [whatever did happen to Neera]—in Congress, the paperwork, and the press.” • Nicely, on condition that election 2024 is certainly existential for our democracy Democrats — and it’s not simply this diagram that’s saying that — it follows that Trump should be prevented from taking workplace “by any means obligatory,” as Malcolm X stated, satirically sufficient. So it’s odd that Borosage, now that occasions in Paul, Weis Decide Merchan’s court docket appear to have been the excessive tide of lawfare, doesn’t point out, in addition to “Congress, the paperwork, and the press,” the spooks. Or not so odd. Everyone is aware of it (“six methods from Sunday“), so why say it? NOTE I ought to check out what Undertaking 2025 has to say concerning the spooks. Maybe considerate folks have anticipated the related eventualities.

Realignment and Legitimacy

That DEI factor is figuring out nice:


* * *

“Conservative household who relocated from California to Idaho to flee liberal politics reveal why they’ve now moved again” [Daily Mail]. “‘We determined after 3 years in Idaho, we’re going again residence.’ ‘We needed to maneuver to a Conservative state, however we realized what it could imply to slot in,’ [the TikTok] continued. ‘It could imply we might must be judgmental. We would want to gossip about others. Have our children overlook the right way to say please and thanks. Discuss unhealthy about new folks shifting right here for a greater life. ‘We left California due to politics[,] however forgot there are other forms of politics to think about…’” • Hmmm…..

“Florida is so final 12 months — right here is the brand new reasonably priced hotspot individuals are shifting to in 2024” [New York Post]. “In 2023, Florida virtually owned the checklist of most moved-to cities, with six within the Prime 20 and 5 within the Prime 10. This 12 months, South Florida is the third most fled, proper behind much-maligned Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Space, [Zillow’s] numbers confirmed.” • Housing, insurance coverage prices, value of dwelling. Fairly mundane! Anyhow, now it’s the Carolinas and Nashville.

Please think about taking the time to signal this petition to the the Facilities for Medicare & Medicaid Providers:

Transmission: H5N1

Euphonious:

I can solely hope that this time Leonardi is flawed.

A protracted, informative thread from Fiegl-Ding on the H5N2 case in Mexico:

Vaccines

I don’t know if, at this level, we will ever have a rational dialogue of vaccines, but when we handle to attain this, the historic report on morbidity needs to be taken into consideration:

Censorship and Propaganda

Circumstances? What circumstances?

(I talk about the how case knowledge and wastewater knowledge diverged, after monitoring in unison, right here in April 2023.) AFAIK, so-called public well being all the time targeted on decreasing transmission, by no means on hospitalization and deaths, which is what CDC targeted on (though now even that knowledge goes darkish). In fact, even “delicate” an infection could cause vascular and neurological injury, in addition to Lengthy Covid, as readers know, however which can’t be too typically said.

A very good checklist of blame-worthy thought leaders:

However even extra responsible are the individuals who funded the thought leaders, betrayers who needs to be sunk within the ice of the Ninth Circle of Hell. (Additionally, has anybody checked in on the UK? Appears to be quite quite a lot of sickness about.)

Superstar Watch

El Nacional]. “Taylor Swift actually doesn’t depart her followers detached. Every week after the US singer carried out in Madrid as a part of her Eras Tour, the 130,000 individuals who noticed her on the two live shows held within the Spanish capital nonetheless bear in mind an unforgettable night time. What many don’t know is that they left the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium with extra than simply souvenirs and outrageously-priced merchandising. Many additionally picked up an surprising memento: a dose of Covid-19. Over the previous few days, 1000’s of followers have commented on social media that they fell sick after attending the live shows on Could twenty ninth and thirtieth. A state of affairs that isn’t shocking, contemplating the massive crowd packed into the stadium, all of them singing their favorite tunes on the prime of their lungs. And even supposing the severity of the pandemic state of affairs is now a lot decreased, the virus itself persists… To present an concept, the main Spanish fan Twitter/X account devoted to Taylor Swift held a ballot asking followers if they’d come down sick after going to one of many singer’s live shows in Madrid. A full 35% of people that took half – the equal of three,780 – responded positively…. On June ninth and tenth, Paris hosted two live shows by Taylor Swift – three weeks earlier than the Madrid reveals – and an identical state of affairs was skilled there, through which 1000’s of French followers reported feeling unwell, with signs suitable with Covid.” • Discover the distinction between indoors and outside:

Would it not actually be so tough for squillionaire Swift to restrict herself to outside venues? Assuming that not giving her devoted followers coronary heart and mind injury is a precedence for her?

“The most recent live performance must-have? Fashionable earplugs” [Financial Times]. • Not, in fact, N95s as branded merch, heaven forfend.

Elite Maleficence

You’d assume the Republicans might blame mass infections on Biden (they usually’d be proper):

“Collective problem”? Is Cuomo some kinda Communist?

No however critically, Cuomo has commendably been plugging away at Lengthy Covid protection.

WHO recommends handwashing, however not PPE or masks, in opposition to fowl flu:

European Centre for Illness Prevention and Management: “The virus spreads straight from fowl to fowl or not directly, via faecal contamination of fabric, feathers or feed.” CDC: “Nonetheless, human infections with avian influenza A viruses can occur when sufficient virus will get into an individual’s eyes, nostril or mouth, or is inhaled. This will occur when virus is within the air (in or probably mud) and an individual breathes it in, or when an individual touches one thing that has virus on it after which touches their mouth, eyes or nostril.” • We study nothing.

#DavosSafe:

They know. They only don’t need you to know.

Lambert right here: Affected person readers, I’m going to should rethink this superbly formatted desk. Biobot knowledge is gone, CDC variant knowledge features, ER visits are useless, CDC stopped obligatory hospital knowledge assortment, New York Occasions demise knowledge has stopped. (Be aware that the 2 metrics the hospital-centric CDC cared about, hospitalization and deaths, have each gone darkish). Ideally I might substitute hospitalization and demise knowledge, however I’m unsure how. I may additionally broaden the wastewater part to incorporate (yech) Verily knowledge, H5N1 if I can get it. Strategies and sources welcome. UPDATE I changed the Occasions demise knowledge with CDC knowledge. Amusingly, the URL doesn’t embrace parameters to assemble the tables; one should reconstruct then manually every time. Caltrops abound.

TABLE 1: Day by day Covid Charts

LEGEND

1) for charts new at present; all others usually are not up to date.

2) For a full-size/full-resolution picture, Command-click (MacOS) or right-click (Home windows) on the chart thumbnail and “open picture in new tab.”

NOTES

[1] (Biobot) Lifeless.

[2] (Biobot) Lifeless.

[3] (CDC Variants) FWIW, on condition that final week KP.2 was throughout all the pieces like kudzu, and now it’s KP.3. If the “Nowcast” can’t even forecast two weeks out, why are we doing it in any respect?

[4] (ER) That is the perfect I can do for now. At the least knowledge for all the pandemic is introduced.

[5] (Hospitalization: NY) Slight leveling out? (The NY city space has type; in 2020, as the house of two worldwide airports (JFK and EWR) it was an necessary entry level for the virus into the nation (and from thence up the Hudson River valley, because the wealthy sought to flee, after which across the nation via air journey.)

[6] (Hospitalization: CDC). That is the perfect I can do for now. Be aware the idea that Covid is seasonal is constructed into the presentation. At the least knowledge for all the pandemic is introduced.

[7] (Walgreens) 4.3%; large bounce. (As a result of there’s knowledge in “present view” tab, I feel white states right here have skilled “no change,” versus don’t have any knowledge.)

[8] (Cleveland) Going up.

[9] (Vacationers: Positivity) Up. These sh*theads at CDC have modified the chart in order that it doesn’t even run again to 1/21/23, because it used to, however now begins 1/1/24. There’s additionally no solution to modify the time rasnge. CDC actually doesn’t need you to have the ability to take a historic view of the pandemic, or examine one surge to a different. In an any case, that’s why the form of the curve has modified.

[10] (Vacationers: Variants) Similar deal. These sh*theads:

[11] Deaths low, however positivity up.

[12] Deaths low, ED not up.

Stats Watch

Employment State of affairs: “United States Unemployment Price” [Trading Economics]. “The unemployment price in the US rose to 4% in Could 2024, the very best since January 2022, up from 3.9% within the earlier month and shocking market expectations, which had forecasted the speed to stay unchanged…. In the meantime, the labor power participation price dropped to 62.5% from 62.7%, and the employment-population ratio decreased to 60.1% from 60.2%.”

* * *

CNBC: “United Airways begins serving passengers customized advertisements on seat-back screens” [CNBC]. “Now enjoying on United Airways’ seat-back screens: customized advertisements. The provider on Friday stated it launched a media platform to serve vacationers customized ads on seat-back screens and in its app, amongst different platforms, because it seeks to leverage buyer knowledge. Prospects can choose out of seeing focused advertisements via a United net web page [oh, right], and United says advertisers can’t entry prospects’ personally identifiable info, the airline stated.’ There’s the potential for 3.5 hours of consideration per traveler, primarily based on common flight time,’ United stated.” • It’s a gold mine, I’m tellin’ ya! (Additionally, “customized” with out being “personally identifiable” is a neat trick.)

Right now’s Worry & Greed Index: 44 Worry (earlier shut: 45 Impartial) [CNN]. One week in the past: 43 (Worry). (0 is Excessive Worry; 100 is Excessive Greed). Final up to date Jun 6 at 1:53:46 PM ET.

Photograph E book

Colossal]. “In 2007, Chicago resident John Maloof landed on the invention of a lifetime at a thrift public sale home on the town’s Northwest Facet. A shocking archive of greater than 100,000 negatives by photographer Vivian Maier (1926-2009) went beneath the hammer, marking a brand new chapter within the prolific documentarian’s story. Maier’s unbelievable pictures concentrate on folks she handed on the road round her hometown in France, then New York and Chicago, illustrating her deep love for the medium and innate means to seize shifting portraits and candid, pure interactions. Over the a long time, her dedication amounted to one of the vital outstanding photographic collections of the century Maier (beforehand) by no means exhibited her work throughout her lifetime, and he or she hardly ever made prints from her negatives. Having labored as a nanny for a few years, she confronted monetary instability later in life, and her images ended up in storage together with different belongings, which have been in the end offered off when the hire went unpaid.” • I can’t imagine that is the firsr Maier exhibition:

Zeitgeist Watch

GQ]. “Somebody in your life is utilizing performance-enhancing medication. I really feel comfy making that guess as a result of I just lately found how many individuals in my life are utilizing performance-enhancing medication [(PEDs].” Nicely… “A number of guys stated they have been bothered by the persistent stereotypes of PED customers as meatheads, as aggro dudes vulnerable to so-called roid rage—it simply didn’t sq. with the folks they’d befriended. ‘There are medical doctors, engineers, authorities officers, nurses, software program engineers, attorneys, small-business homeowners, accountants,’ a 32-year-old named J.R. instructed me. He lives in North Carolina and serves as an administrator in one of many boards. ‘There are devoted husbands and dedicated fathers. .’” • In different phrases, PMC males are on steroids (with the doable exception of nurses). There could actually be a PED tradition within the working class, but when so, this genuinely creepy article doesn’t present it.

“Research Says That Folks Who Like Loud Exhaust Are Psychotic” [Car and Driver]. Works for me. “A new research by Western College in Ontario says that for those who’ve acquired a automotive with a modified exhaust system, odds are you’re a man and possibly additionally psychotic and sadistic…. The research group comprised 529 undergrad enterprise college students who have been requested whether or not they thought loud automobiles are cool, whether or not they considered their automobiles as an extension of themselves, and in the event that they’d modify their very own automobiles to make the exhaust louder. Additional, every participant took a Brief Darkish Tetrad persona survey to evaluate predilection towards common malice and belligerence—psychopathy, narcissism, manipulativeness. Considerably surprisingly, the straight-pipe crowd didn’t rating excessive on narcissism, indicating that the appreciation of stridently broadcast inner combustion isn’t motivated by, ‘Hey, have a look at me!’ It’s extra like, ‘Hey, take heed to my Nissan VQ, whether or not you prefer it or not.’” That’s reassuring. Extra: “Should you’re questioning what kind of different affinities is perhaps predicted by excessive scores in sadism and psychopathy, the research says that these types of traits have additionally proven up in responses asking if the participant had deliberately began an unlawful fireplace.” • Now do individuals who use cellphones like walkie-talkies.

Class Warfare

“Vinod Khosla, Marc Andreessen And The Billionaire Battle For AI’s Future” [Forbes]. “Andreessen and his allies envision a best-case-scenario future through which AI prevents illness and early mortality, and all artists and businesspeople work with an AI assistant to boost their jobs. Warfare, with out bloody human blunders, may have fewer human casualties. AI-augmented artwork and movies will seem in all places. In a manifesto detailing his place final 12 months, Andreessen, who declined an interview request for this story, goals of open-source paradise, with no regulatory obstacles to gradual AI’s improvement or red-tape moats that shield large firms on the expense of startups. All three billionaire buyers seem on this 12 months’s Midas Listing of the world’s prime tech buyers for investments that attain past AI—with Hoffman at No. 8, Khosla at No. 9 and Andreessen at No. 36—but it surely’s within the rising class the place their affect is most acutely felt. These distinguished leaders of the final tech revolution at the moment are pushing their views on the important thing subjects of the subsequent.” • AI = BS. None of this may ever occur. AI is not going to “increase” people; that’s not how capital accumulation works. AI artwork will probably be horrid and no human artists may have any work, as a result of AI artwork is “ok,” and all those that might present what the distinction is will probably be too impoverished to teach, not to mention credit score. It’s actually telling that the primary large AI “innovation” to hit the labor market was eliminating name middle staff (which, artists, is what you’re to capital as nicely).

Information of the Wired

“We Are Manufactured from Waves” [Nautilus]. “As Strassler writes, we’re all ‘wavicle-creatures,’ and ‘the universe sings in all places, in each factor.’” • Perhaps. I regarded exhausting for one thing to excerpt. This was it!
