It’s natural to be frightened and depressed by this swell of repressive legislation and attacks, especially as they have been continuous and are gaining in amplitude. It’s essential to remember most Americans do not support these measures. We need to constantly remind ourselves of that >

Simply put, Trump/Musk is destroying everything supporting the public good: health, education, welfare, arts, science. And yet apparently half the voters in this country are fine with it. How is that possible? Where do you find hope?

You’ll feel better. It’s only a start, though. Think if how many other ways you can carry this forward by reducing our dependency on monsters like Amazon. And supporting local stores who need us all. Bezos has turned WaPo opinions to sheer propaganda. We can use our actions to speak back

It’s late at night. But I’ve got to say this. We can endure. This is by far not the worst that has happened to a country, or even in ours. But it will take a broad and committed movement. I am confident.

On first glance the US push to onshore supply chains appears as an opposite spatial logic to that of Empire. “Bring mining & manufacturing home” versus securing them abroad via soft & hard power.
But another way to onshore is to expand the ‘shore’ to Panama, Greenland and beyond
