So, the theory was dense trade with China avoids war between rising & declining powers. But 145% tariffs effectively end all trade, so how long will China wait to just take Taiwan? Trump is the least reliable guarantor, and Xi would get vast national domestic support to mitigate economic discontent

Calls for a general strike in the US are growing. It's important to understand how to organize one, given their key role in overcoming tyrants around the world.
What would a general strike in the US actually look like?

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Can't wait for the Party of Reagan to explain how Lech Walesa is a woke commie simp.
Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

…until they, with odd regularity, fall from open windows, which circles back to corruption and violence
Meet Trump's new best friend, Vladimir Putin.
At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence.
In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.
