An excellent and doable plan for using Trump's economic warfare to to get us somewhere safer and fairer than where we are right now. We used to call this kind of thinking The Leap. Still works! It's about Canada but many other countries, in coordination, should respond to this shock in similar ways

If you have a smidge of power and you catch yourself thinking: Maybe we'll be safe if we: - tone this justice program a bit - take that 'decolonization' reference off the website - nix that grant for decarbonization... know that you are playing your part in Trump's game perfectly. 1/2
