Reposted by Shyler SidersRobert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 01/03/2026A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so. 686231387849
