Nonfiction authors: y'all don't need so many images in your book. In most cases they aren't necessary. And besides, it makes it harder to get the book translated.

What are the tariffs and the decimation of the fed workforce and research all about? An American Cultural Revolution. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/04/08/t...

As I said last month, the project is about deskilling America: reducing white-collar work through Al and remote job cuts, destroying universities, starving higher education, using tarifis to wall off the country as a
manufacturing-and-extraction island, gutting the cities, and pushing men into manual labor while nudging women into domestic roles. It's not incoherent-it's a plan being implemented methodically.

None of this is about restoring dignity to labor.
It's about stripping dignity from labor that offers autonomy, safety, or intellectual freedom. It's about reducing workers of all kinds-whether white-collar, blue-collar, or no-collar-to servitude.

Trump's tariffs are imagined as a cure-all: destroy the livelihoods of the educated men they resent, displace women from the professional fields where they thrive, and reassert dominance over a labor force they believe was rightfully theirs.

Big crowd in Raleigh, NC, today. Few thousand, I’d guess, plus the supportive drivers passing by.

Crowd of people protesting the actions of the Trump administration. Many are holding signs with protest messages. Faces obscured for anonymity.

"Plaintiffs legitimately call into question what appears to be the unchecked authority of an unelected individual and an entity that was not created by Congress and over which it has no oversight," she wrote.
