My latest piece breaks down how “America First” hollowed out America’s ability to shape events, and why we’re now reacting to crises we once had the capacity to prevent.

South Korea's high court struck down its abortion law 7 years ago. The gov't is still trying to pass a new law, with disagreement over gestational limits. But why do they even need a law? Canada has had no law or gestational limits since 1988 and everything's fine. Abortion is healthcare.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
