I was thinking the same thing. I have lots of non-Trump terror muscles. I guess it’s leg day.
Oh, joy.
At least it gives us a chance to have existential terror about something non-Trump, right?

Trump was running the Bonasera scene in his mind during the Zelenskyy meeting. He kept demanding Z kiss his hand and beg for justice. Z did not and Trump couldn’t remain jn his fantasy.
“The Godfather” is the movie T is always cosplaying in his mind. And so “keep you friends close, but your enemies closer” is prob a foreign policy “doctrine” for him. Except he’s keeping his enemies closer not by bringing them in, but by pushing friends further away.

Philanthropy should never be a substitute for public services, but this is where we are. Kudos to the Macarthur Foundation for this move.
The rest of philanthropy needs to step up. Now. As @nonprofitaf.bsky.social says, "Dear funders: your endowments will be worthless in a fascist state."

Every single philanthropic institution needs to do this rather than retracting right now.

every tragedy, every event MUST be exploited to vilify enemies and justify further consolidation of power. Use everything to further your advantage. There is no humanity, there is no unity, there is only the logic of power and domination.
