As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon
It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find them
The darker it gets, the more you shine
Do not lose your humanity

This brief summary of yesterday’s letter is really good.
(1/5)
📝 Today’s Letter from an American reminds us: democracy isn’t lost in a grand coup. It’s bartered away in glittering rooms. If we don’t defend it—locally, nationally, globally—it will vanish like smoke through careless fingers.

Friends in Kingston Ontario, could I call on you for a small favour? I lost a pair of glasses downtown near St George’s Cathedral, and might have a lead on where they are but I can’t get to Kingston for a few days. If you can swing by that area today, let me know and I’ll give you the details? 🤞🤞🤞

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Keep it up, DC. Boycott the Kennedy Centre. Show producers, cancel your bookings and move your productions to another of the many incredible DC venues.
‘Go Woke, Go Broke’? More Like ‘Go Trump, Go Bankrupt’
Trump fired the Kennedy Center leadership, packed the board with loyalists, and claimed he was “saving” the institution. Now? Ticket sales down 50%, artists canceling, patrons boycotting. Turns out, MAGA loyalty doesn’t sell tickets.

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.
