Russia Is Losing the War of Attrition
Ukraine is not on the verge of collapse. That makes the Trump administration’s decisions particularly shortsighted and tragic.

Spent the morning shoveling snow with my kid. We talked about how--because the world is increasingly stupid, unkind, and selfish--we need to work hard at being curious, kind, and helpful to others. Even if we're just starting with shoveling the walk for our community.

Well gang,
Looks like we have to fight, and defeat, a compilation of history’s greatest evils all at once. Civil War, WW2, the Cold War, greed, racism, sexism, ignorance, fascism…hell is empty and all the demons are here.
Let’s fucking go.
