We are at the "Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming" stage. The protests will not stop. Trump will overplay his hand. Blue Wave 2026.

Why Trump Paused the Tariffs
A stock-market swoon, or even a recession, might not frighten him, but the prospect of a 2008-style meltdown apparently still does.

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Lots of coverage about Tesla shares tanking because customers don’t want to be associated with a fascist etc. But what if the problem is that it’s a poorly run company whose CEO is absentee, whose most iconic product is falling apart, & that now seems to have misplaced $1.4B bsky.app/profile/bloo...

Prediction: Trump will decide alongside Putin what price in territory and resources Ukraine must pay to end the war, or to even procure a cease fire. The Ukrainians will be told to take it or leave it, and by leaving it they will give up US support. Catch 22.

Trump delivers yet another "fuck you" to the Ukrainians. US law and policy don't permit return of immigrants in good standing seeking asylum to a war zone. Trump doesn't care. He wants their death. He wants their destruction.

We have the wrong legislators in D. C. for these times. We need activists willing to take risks, slow down the authoritarian takeover of our country and generate compelling media narratives. Most of the senators and congressmen there now may be well intentioned but they are not up to this task.
