Combine this with another quote from her:
"Totalitarianism, once in power, always replaces all first-class talents - regardless of their sympathies - with those cranks and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of loyalty."
Does it remind you of anything?

Pretty clever strategy: put soldiers on the street but with hot beverages instead of guns, support peaceful protests and create an atmosphere that make ice look even more thuggish…
Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

While US tech giants chase #AGI, we can learn from Taiwan a much human goal: Augmented Collective Intelligence!
Audrey Tang, first digital minster of Taiwan, has crazy ideas like "AI should counter human flaws, not exploit them". Or a "geothermal democracy" which channels outrage.

Jens Spahn, chairman of the CDU/CSU in German parliament on a possible US invasion of Greenland: “When you look at Greenland's location on the globe, the questions raised by the US are understandable.”
Utter madness.
Utter madness.
Das hat Jens Spahn gerade erst gestern, am Freitag, in der SZ gesagt. Diese Servilität, dieses Sich-in-den-Staub-Werfen der Union vor einem skrupellosen Potentaten ist einfach nur entsetzlich.
