Not only has the United States of America abandoned its moral role in confronting evil around the world, Donald Trump's derangement and depravity are swiftly making us the principal planetary force promoting evil.

Mark Carney's declaration on Tuesday remains true; the world order has been ruptured. "American hegemony” provided benefits at a cost, but the cost now is subservience to our mad king. As Carney made clear, there's no going back.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social on Wed night's Colbert show repeatedly use "pretextual" to describe admin's response to murder of Renee Good. Why "pretext" instead of "excuse"? From the Latin, it literally means "to weave" & "in front of", or "woven in front to hide what's behind". Awesome word!!!
