They released this on a Friday for a reason. Trump’s new National Security Strategy walks away from alliances, embraces domination, and reframes “security” as protection from diversity. Trump has made white nationalist power official U.S. policy. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

The Dells pledged $6.25 billion to “invest” in America’s kids. Sounds huge, but do the math. $250 won’t won’t stabilize a family. But it will generate applause and tax breaks for billionaires while the machinery that keeps kids poor stays fully intact. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...
