Kidding aside, one of the lessons of reading Thucydides is that direct democracy is what eventually destroyed Athens.
Nicias: Let's go to Sicily with a big armada! *smiles slyly, knowing no one would approve anything that crazy*
Athenians: GREAT IDEA SEND A BIG FORCE
Nicias: Well, fuck me

Even the Athenians had figured this one out
You would think that modern liberals dealing with Trump would understand the importance and power of federalism now more than any other time in recent history

@cavandy.bsky.social … I have seen you through @peark.es & thought I’d get your opinion. Wife & I are thinking of doing a couple weeks in Sevilla, Spain and Morocco. Bougie hotels in a few cities along the way would be a great help.
Like I said, I’d like to get your thoughts or help. Grazie Mille

These clowns fold so quick in such random places and are so unpredictable I think “we’ll see how this plays out” is a good attitude to have on almost anything. Powell, KAG, birthright citizenship, law firms, DOGE, colleges, tax cuts, you name it.

Markets check: everything is getting killed. US futures are down over 3%, high yield spreads are blowing out, crude is down almost 6% (thanks to OPEC+ for adding more supply than expected this AM), dollar down 1.5%, yield curve bull-steepening. Full-blown recession pricing for the US across assets.
