UBI and wealth taxes are both correct answers, not easy answers. Doing difficult correct things is what politics should be all about. If you're not putting effort into a correct thing because it's not easy, I don't think you're doing your duty as a citizen correctly.

"Alligator Alcatraz" is wrong and media should not use it. It's propaganda. Alcatraz held people convicted of crimes, particularly violent crimes.
The Florida camp holds people *not* convicted of any crime. If they had been, they'd be in prison elsewhere.
The site is a textbook concentration camp.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles.
Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Lots of people imagine abstaining from the vote to be taking their foot off the gas, when they're really just taking their hands off the wheel
"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

4/ The modern, time-tested way to destroy a democracy is NOT a coup or burning down the Parliament or a public confrontation with the judiciary.
It's a slow methodical campaign to weaken the structures of accountability necessary for the political opposition to win elections.

Has anyone thought of this scenario:
Announce sweeping tariffs
Watch stocks tumble
Buy lots of stocks
Postpone/delay/cancel/be ambiguous about tariffs
Watch stock market recover

I don't know that it's that simple, but they might think it is.

I think Trump genuinely believes that Putin had nothing to do with his election victories. He thinks he did it all by himself.
