It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

“Intimations of death’s certainty are woven into the narrative, in recurring but varied ways that get the audience used to the idea that life on earth is brief and precious. Frith the sun gives life and the Black Rabbit takes it away.” www.rogerebert.com/features/30-...

Pure, excoriating anger from Francis Fukuyama. Every word correct. Apart from the end- the Americans who voted for Trump knew exactly what they were doing- they just didn't care. We have to hope they start to care soon. open.substack.com/pub/persuasi...

When it’s over, there will be attempts to spin an epic narrative about this. Realist IR theorists will come up with some balance of power BS, the media will try to make it some kind of operatic tragedy, etc. Resist this. It was stupid and pathetic and senseless. Don’t let them gaslight you.

When FDR struck an over-the-heads-of-eastern-Europe deal at Yalta in Feb 1945, Stalin had 300+ divisions in the field vs Nazi Germany. The impending unilateral Trump sellout of Ukraine occurs when Putin is battered and almost broke.

I see Neville Chamberlain is having a moment. Which is never what you want.

No need to parse dog whistles with the advocate for Germany’s neo-Nazi party, who laments the end of Apartheid in South Africa, does sig heils in public, denigrates minorities, and proclaims that white men are inherently superior. Yes, he is. We don’t need to ask anymore, we need to deal with it.

There's something so low-rent about Vance at Munich that it's hard for Europe to feel attacked in the manner he intends. These guys are visibly not up to the task they think they've set themselves. I'd worry about their chaos more than their ideology.
