Stocks down. Portfolios shrinking. Trump’s tariff chaos is rattling markets again. This isn’t strength it’s self-inflicted damage.
This is what instability looks like.

On December 28, 2004, Susan Sontag passed away 📚🕊️.
She was a writer and thinker who challenged how we see culture, illness, media, and ourselves — long before online discourse existed.
Her work still reminds us to think deeper, not faster.

We might not be able to watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” around a TV together like we once used to, but we can still listen to its classic soundtrack—that rare artistic artifact that transcends what it was made to accompany, writes Anna Holmes:
