Of course Ukraine’s strikes on Russian energy infrastructure in the Moscow region are entirely justified. Russia has aggressively bombed Ukraine for years, including many purely civilian targets. Ukraine hitting an oil refinery, which fuels Russia’s war machine, is justified self-defense. Easily.

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

Earnestness is the counter to this awful historical moment. It’s the way out. Unabashedly caring about others, about community and ideas, speaking the truth, standing for values. People want to believe in something more than a group sneer that looks down at others. @aselrod.bsky.social nails it.

The US is weaker due to Trump, but is it more feared? Democracies and traditional US allies are more afraid of America, that’s true (though I don’t know why it’d be good). Russia is clearly less afraid of the US now. So is North Korea. China seems practically giddy at the US throwing allies away.

"In normal liberal democracy terms, the US is in bad shape. But in consolidated authoritarianism terms, we’re doing pretty well." I wrote about the weirdness of walking around the monuments in DC, three ways the Trump regime stumbled this year, and why I'm cautiously optimistic heading into 2026.

Another underappreciated way to lower electricity bills? Stop taxing electricity, which in many places is subject to both state and local taxes at rates of 10% or higher. To keep tax revenues intact, state and local governments could shift these taxes onto natural gas, encouraging electrification.
