If you think in terms of zones of economic control, the issue is a bit more complicated...it's the Gulf of the USA, Mexico and Cuba! But I'm sure I'm now banned from press meetings for posting this,

In the FOX News and MAGA world, there is NO reporting about the data heist Musk just pulled off at the Treasury Department. This is the largest data heist in the history of our country. We need to play our part in getting this news out to that world.

My take on time is that it's not time that moves. We are always in "the eternal now"--always have been, and always will be. So, it's *we* who move through time. You can make choices about how you do that.

I *highly* recommend this book by Nobel Prize-winning journalist Maria Ressa. She understands the playbook used by the Republicans (and many other dictators) and how social media not only allowed it to happen but largely *contributed* to it. It's also about what we can do. Good book. #Books #Booksky
