Drawing on his years as an U.S. Army officer—and studying Clausewitz, the military theorist who wrote 'On War'—our Mark Hertling wrote this superb letter "channeling" Clausewitz. It's a smart critique of the peace plan that the Trump admin is pushing on Ukraine.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

3. Russia will not invade neighboring countries, and NATO will not expand further.

This morning, the President of the United States publicly called for the execution of six Members of Congress.

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Today.

He is a clear & present danger to this country. Right now. Invoke the 25th Amendment, or impeach & convict him. Now.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

The 18th-century shift from militaries raised privately by nobles to standing armies financed by taxes is one of the central moves in the creation of the modern state. Trump is dialing it back to feudalism. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000
