Do you ever listen to an album only when in a specific kind of mood to the point of being conditioned to feel that way anytime you listen to it? For me this album is a perfect example of "thinking about loved ones on a sunny morning". It strikes that chord no matter what.❤️

A huge honor to get to write something with my hero @naomiaklein.bsky.social.

We wish it was a happier topic, but it's an urgent one.

We dove deep into the apocalyptic fervor of the far right to issue a warning about the rise of End Times Fascism.

One of the greatest ongoing scandals of today is that our elected officials — Democrats included — continue to refuse to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

This is a very good point that I haven't seen made yet.

It's not just Trump that is undermining trust in the US. It is also the inability of US institutions to stop him.

And even if you make that "inability to stop him so far," it's already too far to maintain trust.
From what I'm seeing in Europe, the real game changer here isn't really the Trump admin itself, but how quickly American elites - political, corporate, institutional and academic - just failed to respond and resist in any meaningful way.

US prestige culture, as seen from abroad, just evaporated.

When Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions.

Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars — working class Americans will.

It's crony capitalism at its worst.

READ: International law wasn’t built to protect Palestine. It was built to contain it.

The system isn’t failing — it’s working exactly as designed.

Colonialism didn’t die. It just learned how to veto.
