Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

So, they are
- illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress
- burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah
- reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system
- putting backdoors into Treasury
This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

This message was just what I needed to hear in this specific time and place. youtu.be/3H9Ql4dFRCc?...

What we learned in Kindergarten today: In honor of Dr. King, our “homework” this weekend is to do something kind for somebody. #chooselove
