As "The Shock Doctrine" by @naomiaklein.bsky.social (arguably the most important book of the 21C) explains, Jeffrey Sachs was pivotal in the privatisation (theft) of Russia. Now he plays a key role in Putin's disinfo network. Sounding moderate, lending credibility to a kleptofascist agenda.

This is both unsurprising and also a proper rebuke to the view that the Supreme Court settled this once-and-for-all and so it is stupid to carry on worrying about it (a view that derives ultimately from the desperate insistence that Trump isn't that bad because the guardrails work)
