We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

Authoritarian learning is a thing but so too is civil society adaptation to repression, as this clip illustrates. The state has violence at its disposal but it can never match the creativity or nimbleness of ordinary citizens banding together in love & solidarity.

When Border Patrol showed up across Charlotte, parents and neighbors rushed to Berryhill to meet kids at the bus stop. They stood watch, linked arms, and made one thing clear: if the city gets targeted, its children will not face it alone.

The administration envoy who was largely pro Ukraine has resigned after revelations about the proposed peace deal have come to light.
Clearly he sees it as we all see it - a betrayal that’s going nowhere, a dead on arrival prospect that should never have seen daylight.

It is unfair to say that RFK Jr is massively ignorant and prone to spouting conspiracy theories about vaccines: he can do the same for safety net programs too. He has layers.
Secretary Kennedy, speaking to a bipartisan group of governors, has mixed up Medicare and Medicaid, and implied the people who will lose the latter are either unauthorized immigrants, dual eligible, or people who “don’t want to get a job.”
