President Bukele posted about Cecot concentration camp: "Let all the 'human rights' NGOs know that we are going to wipe out these bloody murderers and their collaborators, we will put them in prison and they will never get out" Trump plans to send US citizens here with no due process.

I cannot unsee the videos of Trump laughing with Bukele (and others) about rendering US citizens and residents to a concentration camp in El Salvador with impunity. This is the unambiguous moment to rally around. Bring Kilmar home (and all the others!)

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

It was a good (and very useful) thread. Taking it down is quite unfortunate. The reason for taking it down — critiques about neglecting similar historical situations — is proof positive that academics are suited to police discourse but unsuited to produce generative action.

LOTR somehow feels apt atm. “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien

Modern supply chains don't look like trade theory 101! They involve constant border crossings, each now hit by tariffs. Tariffs raise prices, but the more important thing they do is disrupt supply relationships. 1/

The future is more fluid & contested now than in many decades. Many old political conventions & constraints are dead. Change is afoot. Americans must dream, design, refine, inspire, & organize how to improve our communities at all scales & on all fronts. Democracy like our lives depend on it.
