By summer it’ll probably be a good idea to have enough money at hand outside of your bank to survive for an extended period, have your passports or travel docs in order, identify your nearest border crossing, and make arrangements for extended outdoor living situations. #3E

It's not in spite of these indicators, it's because of them. Affluence and ennui are powerful drivers of modern authoritatianism.

I ran into some lameo Neocon touting the tired PP lie that crime was rampant in Canada & bail was out of control.

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Journalists are getting the story out, activists are staging protests, courts are weighing in. The Democrats need to tie it all together in high profile daily briefings for the entire country. My latest on the urgent need for a counter narrative to Trump/Musk. ⤵️ open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

It's not just the money, either. A venue manager told me that when they're setting up her show, she went out and introduced herself to the locals doing the work to thank them. He said that's the only act he's ever seen do that. You don't have to be a fan of her music to be a fan of Taylor Swift.
