Home invasions without warrants, child abductions, shooting moms in the face, arresting protesters, wearing masks, no ID, carrying weapons of war—how hard is it to make that look bad?!

If you can’t run against the fucking Gestapo, then get out of the way for those who can.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

New evidence from Africa shows that aid reduces conflict when projects are well managed, but increases violence when management and monitoring are weak.

I was listening to Carney and thinking of Roland of Guilead (The Dark Tower) saying, "The world has moved on."

The international order is in the midst of a phase transition. I hope the world takes advantage of the chaos this rupture creates and uses that energy to forge a better, more just world.

Today on Volts: Swedish tech entrepreneur Jonas Birgersson was once known in his country as "broadband Jesus" for his efforts in spreading decentralized, low-cost broadband access. Now, he wants to bring the same decentralized, peer-to-peer revolution to the electricity grid.

Making the electricity grid work like the internet

Jonas Birgersson joins me to explain how "packet-switching" for electrons can lead to energy abundance and grid resilience.

I just finished a three-year term as an editor at an international relations journal. I began at the start of the LLM era but ended right in the middle of it. Our volume of submissions tripled and our desk reject rate rose to 75%. I have some thoughts.
