"It’s possible that future generations will look back on this scourge and see something else — not just what was destroyed but also what was born." All should read Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social for insights and inspiration i these dark times. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

"War with Canada is what Trump seems to have in mind. Fentanyl is not the only the big lie. That Canada does not really exist is the other. ...The imperialist rhetoric has to be seen for what it is, which is preparation not just for trade war but for war itself." snyder.substack.com/p/the-absurd...
