This is the longest lasting damage, and who knows how long it will take to repair, if that will even be possible.
Precisely. As a world “leader” the U.S. is done for decades.
In a White House meeting with civil rights leaders in early 2021, President Biden recounted his first trip to Europe. Biden he announced to them, “America’s back!” The European leaders said “yeah, but for how long?”
They were skeptical.

There's arguably no effective way for any future administration to undo the strategic damage being done to the U.S.'s relations with these and other states.
No matter what we do, the U.S. will be seen as an untrustworthy, craven & mercurial "partner"—something simply to be endured or hedged.

Hello #booksky! How’s everyone? I’m currently sitting on the couch with a warm lap cat and listening to Pride & Prejudice. I’ve watched a few versions, but somehow never read the book, the audio was available now & I needed my next listen, so here we go.

New to me cheese I saw at Trader Joe’s! Can’t wait to buy them and try them once I’ve finished the cheeses in my fridge. Have you tried either of these?

Moving because your life has been upended, and when you are in the throes of heartbreak, sucks. But I’m trying to embrace the hope and possibilities of what’s next in my life, and I’m very grateful for my lovely friend offering me a soft spot to land and heal.

Tariffs impact on the backbone of the world
Yesterday the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether the President can, in violation of the constitution, impose unilateral tariffs.

centrists and conservatives will always do 'no not like that.' the green new deal was to address concerns about making transition politically acceptable, while spreading costs and benefits equitably, and the response was 'why is all this non-green stuff in there'
This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

“Media capture” is the term I have been using all year.
How @karenattiah.bsky.social was fired should be more widely discussed. But I do not think the media really wants to go into their capture by the authorities, by the ruling class.
New:
I sat down with @aljazeera.com to talk about my firing from the Washington Post, being the last Black staff columnist left at the Post.
And how I believe the right is not just engaging in “cancel culture”, but “annihilation culture”.
