Curious systems-thinking flawed human being (not human doing). Grateful to live on unceded Coast Salish lands. Trying to reconcile my/our place in the cosmos and how to respond to the metacrisis. Whooosh, deep breaths...

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister.
Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

It's fascinating how, in the 1950s, US officials acknowledged - on the record - that socialism in the global South was a more effective development model than capitalism.

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.
I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Trump's a wannabe king, not a strong leader. Meanwhile, Musk's on a crime spree. That they're acting so quickly with so much confusion shows they don't have widespread support. The legal system is (perhaps somewhat surprisingly) kicking in to stop most of this. So don't help them: Don't believe him!

It hasn't been Democrats vs. Republicans for a long while. It's corporatists vs oligarchs.
Watch this interview between Marc Lamont Hill and Chris Hedges on what I’ve been trying to get people to understand: Democracy doesn’t exist in the US. I’m not sure what folks think they’re fighting for but it ain’t democracy.

We’re at the disrupter point in the adaptive cycle. We don’t yet know where we’ll go but possibilities abound; those on ‘the other side’ could even yet become allies.
