NYDailyNews: McDonald’s sales unexpectedly dropped at a level not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic dragged on businesses in 2020. Investors got the bad new Thursday when McDonald’s Chairman and CEO Chris Kempczinski told them during a conference call that numbers at U.S. stores opened at least one year had slumped 3.6% in the first quarter of 2025.

CBS: Stocks sank sharply in morning trade after new government data showed the U.S. economy shrank in the first 3 months of the year.

The S&P 500 dropped 93 points, or 1.7%, to 5,468; the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 604 points, or 1.5%; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shed 2.4%. The Commerce Department said in a report on Wednesday that the nation's gross domestic product — the total value of products and services — shrank at a 0.3% annual rate, down from growth of 2.4% in the final 3 months of 2024.

"This is Biden's Stock Market, not Trump's. I didn't take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers," he wrote. "Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden 'Overhang.' This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers..."

Media Matters for AmericaCallers to conservative radio shows voice their displeasure with Trump’s tariffsConservative radio listeners have been vocal about their displeasure as President Donald Trump’s tariffs created economic uncertainty and sent stock markets plunging. Though many right-wing media figures have dismissed the stock market volatility and praised Trump’s tariff policy, some listeners of right-wing radio shows were displeased, calling in to pronounce it “reckless,” “sloppy,” and “the single biggest, dumbest move in political history.” Callers have previously complained about Trump’s gutting of federal programs and jobs, comments about Ukraine, approach to birthright citizenship, attacks on Canada, and comments about Gaza, among other topics.

ENG: Visionary essay by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor on End of Times Fascism and how to combat it. What follows link are extracts translated to spanish.

theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int

ESP: "Nos enfrentamos a una ideología que ha renunciado no solo a la premisa y la promesa de la democracia liberal, sino también a la habitabilidad de nuestro mundo compartido: a su belleza, a su gente, a nuestros hijos, a otras especies. Las fuerzas a las que nos enfrentamos han hecho las paces con la muerte masiva. Son traicioneras para este mundo y sus habitantes, humanos y no humanos." (...)

"Contrarrestamos sus narrativas apocalípticas con una historia mucho mejor sobre cómo sobrevivir a los tiempos difíciles que se avecinan sin dejar a nadie atrás. Una historia capaz de despojar al fascismo del fin de los tiempos de su poder gótico y galvanizar un movimiento dispuesto a arriesgarlo todo por nuestra supervivencia colectiva. Una historia no de fin de los tiempos, sino de tiempos mejores; no de separación y supremacía, sino de interdependencia y pertenencia; no de escapar, sino de permanecer en el lugar y ser fieles a la problemática realidad terrenal en la que estamos atrapados y atados.

Ese sentimiento básico, por supuesto, no es nuevo. Es central en las cosmologías indígenas y se encuentra en la esencia del animismo. Si nos remontamos lo suficiente, cada cultura y fe tiene su propia tradición de respetar la santidad del aquí, y no de buscar a Sión en una tierra prometida esquiva y lejana."

The United States had strong alliances and a bright future but destructive Donald Trump put an end to that.

"As Pres. Donald Trump levies crippling tariffs on Europe, China and the rest of the world, the E.U. is cautiously looking to Beijing as one way to achieve what it now calls a need to “diversify” its economic partners in the face of U.S. aggression":
