Honor and Shame in the Era of Trump and Epstein
Honor comes with wealth. The only exception is pedophilia.
In this Trumpian era, Americaβs moral compass β its capacity to separate right from wrong, and to pride itself doing (or at least trying to do) what is honorable β seems to have vanished, along with the norms on which that authority has been based. robertreich.substack.com/p/honor-and-...

Super PACs are destroying whatβs left of American democracy.
For over a decade, these billionaire-funded mega-PACs have served as legal loopholes, allowing corporations and the ultra-wealthy to pump unlimited, often anonymous money into our elections. They buy influence. They drown out real voters.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
Itβs not about what this country can or canβt afford.
Itβs about priorities.

The success of nonviolent civil resistance: Erica Chenoweth at TEDxBoulder
Such an important presentation. Itβs not just that every nonviolent protest campaign above 3.5% of population prevails, itβs that it succeeds by winning consensus through demonstration, a method that de-escalates violence and reinforces the foundations of healthy democracy.
