It's disheartening to see how this is unfolding. America used to broadcast truth into closed societies; now, in a stark and alarming reversal, censored American reporting must be smuggled back across the border just to reach American viewers.

Don't just think about the price. Consider how much you'll love wearing the garment, which will be about finding a manufacturer that produces things to your taste. A $100 hoodie worn for a decade is cheaper than a $40 hoodie you replace in a year.

As usual, the key is to buy less, buy better.

It isn’t

Millions of people showed up last time. More are expected tomorrow. They lack the resources to crack down on that many people

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
