The SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost 50 years ago today — around the time Gordon Lightfoot was at work on a new album.

Feels like, between ..

1. “No Kings” rally

2. Benioff apologizing

3. Young Republicans getting suspended

4. Universities rejecting White House “contracts”

.. authoritarianism got something of a margin call this week.
