Team Trump has concluded that it is hopeless to compete with the Chinese on greentech — the race is already lost. Therefore they are doubling down on fossil fuel based tech at home, while geopolitically bullying other countries to stay on fossil fuels rather than switch to Chinese EVs/renewables.

Many friends asking what it is like in Minnesota right now. This video-clip tells. Masked men w/ guns in ordinary places (gas stations, grocery stores, cruising streets) intimidating ordinary people & instilling fear. As a terrorism expert, I think about the logic of government instilling fear.

Permanent members are no longer just blocking the UN. They are dismantling its core restraints on the use of force. ITAMAR MANN argues that when the Charter cannot discipline its guarantors, remaking the UN becomes unavoidable and institutional imagination urgent. verfassungsblog.de/remaking-the...
“If the Charter cannot discipline its guarantors, then it is not clear there is any justification for business as usual at the UN.”

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class
A painting almost entirely in grey-brown tones, other than the bright red spots of blood. It depicts the murders of James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner in 1964. One of the two white men, either Goodman or Schwerner, is facedown on the ground. The other stands just left of center of the composition, holding the collapsed body of Chaney, a Black man, close to him while staring off the side of the piece. We can't see what he's looking at, but the shadows of the Klansmen that will kill him and the others in moments are visible clustered around the edge of the frame like malicious spirits.

Homecoming Marine is a personal favorite of mine, particularly with how relatively small and young he made the kid, how closed his body language. How the news story about him on the wall calls him a hero, but the faces of everyone there tells how rough the story he's telling is.

Speaking with the pro-government Channel 14, Lt.-Col. Amit Yagur explains that Israel’s recognition of Somaliland is part of Washington’s Project Sunrise to transfer Gazans. Yagur is retired, has no official capacity, but had served as the deputy head of the Palestinian arena in the Israeli Army.

The Economist makes it look too much like the refusal to withdraw from Syria is in the name of all Jews. It's time for media to understand that there is no such thing as "the Jewish state". Israel is a state that defines itself as much, but that is not more and not less than its self-definition.
