Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

In fact this is the same worldview as “when you’re a star they let you do it”
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

This shooting left an innocent bystander in critical condition. He is in Seattle undergoing brain surgery for his injuries from the Alaska state troopers.

Don't call the police in Alaska for mental health crises. The cops will shoot up your place.

The state troopers shot two people, killing one, while responding to a mental health crisis.

Multiple troopers opened fire on a man brandishing a knife. They killed him while putting someone else in the hospital in serious condition.

Before Zionism became the dominant intra-community debate, this was the original Jewish civil war. Its epicenter in the US was NY (as well as Chicago and in some culturally significant ways Hollywood). It was largely driven by class divisions between and within different immigrant waves.

Embrace it.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.

That is all.
