So often is the state of my dining table, because there are always things to learn about and ponder. 💚📚

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

In 1942, the American President opposed censorship because books were weapons in the fight against tyranny.

Economists in US and around the world have been loud & clear: Imposing blanket tariffs on their 3 largest trading partners will have devastating impact on U.S. economy and skyrocket inflation.
Trump shrugs, does it anyway.
In 2 weeks he'll blame it on Biden.
Or Obama.
Or trans kids.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.
