Canada Isn't Turning to China. It's Doing Something Much More Dangerous.
The fight over Canada isn't about trade. It's about whether a sovereign country can diversify its way out of dependence — and what happens to American power if it does.

It's not infrastructure week. In fact, there's a whole bridge to Canada that's not being used because of a petty dispute with Trump, which has ballooned into a leverage play around the US-Mexico-Canada agreement. Good report from @gurleygg.bsky.social. prospect.org/2026/06/08/g...

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Whenever I think on hope, I remember an old piece of LotR meta from tumblr on the importance of Estel, or irrational hope, and rarely fail to feel better.
“estel” is “hope with trust.”
It’s the sort of hope that goes along with Tolkein’s concept of despair, which is that despair should be the product of nothing less than absolute certainty that everything is fucked, categorically, forever. But because no one can know that with any real certainty, by definition there is always hope. Not the hope of planning, or the hope of dedication, but the hope of “we don’t know how this is gonna shake out, but if we don’t know for sure then we can’t despair, and if we’re not despairing then we must still have hope left.”
Estel is not an active presence of positivity as much as it is the absence of despair, but because it’s that last thing in between you and giving the fuck up, it’s powerful. It’s also very often underestimated, or denigrated, or mocked. Oh, you still have hope? How cute, how pathetic, how naive. But it’s not. It’s the essence of all resistance. And it really is just showing up and giving luck the opportunity to be on your side.

Trump isn’t just cutting off aid to Ukraine. He’s getting 3rd parties to cut off intelligence to Ukraine or refuse to sell critical intel data. It’s taking away UKR army’s eyes. He’s re-entered the war on Russia’s side, not with arms yet and in marginal ways, but affirmatively on Russia’s side.

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.
