That’s what makes this so scary: Any assumption of democratic resilience was predicated on the idea that civil society actors with enormous resources at their disposal and the law on their side – universities, law firms, media companies… – would push back. But so many simply won’t, or not anymore.

Yes irrational, but I so love that the alchemists' dream finally happened through practical nuclear physics :D
ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHC

Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the #LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons and transform lead into fleeting quantities of gold nuclei

“They come here, these movies, with their French talking, their sad Norwegian snow people, their deep meanings - we don’t want that,” said President Trump, speaking at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Top Gun 13. “American movies are about explosions, beautiful people and justice. Not feelings.”

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."

But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

2/ This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense.

That’s because they don’t. They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."
