hot take: i think the move in the direction of a more explicitly extortion based international order is bad actually. I also do not especially relish the idea of re-boning up on mercantilism

Thank you everyone who has shared in the joy of this book release day with me. I went through some very hard times while I was writing this book and worried about how that imprinted on the work. To get this warm reception is a joy, and I hope the book gives people joy and a sense of possibility.

We will. It is up to us. We can and will do it. Authoritarian leaders are not well liked. Creative thinking can bring them down. Starting with all of us. Put up flyers in public spaces, boycott, constantly write to GOP legislators, wear down any Trump supporters. I do one or all of these things

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

The 25th amendment isn’t going to cut it. We need to go straight to article 2 section 4

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

The Israeli army has released footage showing the large-scale destruction of villages in southern Lebanon during its invasion. Since the start of the war, more than 100 villages have been heavily affected, with between 40 and 60 reported to have suffered near-total destruction.

Energy experts: Oil prices could rise to $150/barrel if war continues thru mid-May. If the Houthis close the Bab al Mandab Strait, as they surely will if Trump invades Iran or bombs bridges and power plants, it is on track to rise to $200 a barrel. Thank you, Mr. President!

Nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz: • paid himself $5M as a “ghost employee” • diverted tens of millions owed to taxpayers & employees • failed to pay at least 3 multimillion-dollar judgments awarded to grieving families He also received a Trump pardon.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

Notes from the much larger and more significant war: in March Russia gained no net territory in Ukraine, and lost more soldiers than it was able to replace.

Breaking Reuters: Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg just stood by his prior decision to block subpoenas issued in the criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell — setting up a likely appeal that could further delay Trump's effort to install a compliant central bank head.
