But instead of ensuring a ceasefire in Gaza, Trump is carrying out an ineffective bombing and killing innocent civilians with glee.

🧵 "What can I even do?" – Why you're more powerful than you think It’s easy to ask this question. Especially when it feels like those at the top do whatever they want. And to be honest? They do. But not because they’re all-powerful – but because we let them.

Sergei has fond memories, but doubts that public broadcasting networks like Radio Free Europe have the relevance they once had. Perhaps not, however the malevolent glee Russian tv hosts displayed when reporting the shutdown suggests the voices are still getting through. youtube.com/@rferlonline...

Here's a ceasefire plan to get things rolling 👋! Both parties – Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Russia 🇷🇺 : - end their human safaris - stop destroying stores, markets & civilians' homes - return the civilian nationals that they are holding, starting with the children that they abducted and have been 'reeducating'

Some of the books Gillian Tett mentioned in her conversation with Ezra Klein are now on my reading list. In the opening sentences of The Economic Consequences of the Peace, John Maynard Keynes describes a society eerily similar to today's 🤔. oll.libertyfund.org/titles/keyne...

Episode from The Ezra Klein Show:
Is Trump 'Detoxing' the Economy or Poisoning It?
Excerpt: https://share.snipd.com/snip/e0e51203-cb61-49f8-ae20-8e840e4327e9

In 1919, after World War I, John Maynard Keynes wrote a haunting pamphlet called The Economic Consequences of the Peace, in which he pointed out that globalisation pre-World War I had been very good for people, so had free markets and the free movement of people and innovation. And that had delivered a huge economic boom. That was obviously disrupted after World War I.

And after World War I, the governments had a choice. They could either go back to globalization, free market capitalism, and some element of collaboration, or they could go down the path of revenge politics and punitive policies that tried to essentially hurt other countries.

He begged them, John Maynard Keynes, to go down the first path and warned that if they went down the second, it would simply stoke up more hatred and lead to World War II. Unfortunately, his pleas were ignored. And we actually did in the 1930s. It was all about revenge politics – with disastrous consequences.

And so when I look at the revenge politics and the punitive measures and the beggar thy neighbour approaches being endorsed by the Trump regime, I think we're back to the beginning of the 1930s.

And it terrifies me.

― Gillian Tett

"The Reagan" (with apologies to Edgar Allan Poe) by Frank Jacobs in Mad is a favorite. This poem of the same title, also following Poe's "The Raven," is likewise good. "Ill informed," "wealth is concentrated," "regal leaning" - a lot that still haunts today. classicalpoets.org/2023/02/a-po...
