The American Age Is Over
Emergency Triad: The United States commits imperial suicide.
"It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order...

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.
2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."
3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."
This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

We Can't Afford Billionaires
Fighting back against a grotesque perversion of our shared humanity; doing so by building community in a nation built to accommodate community-destroying narcissists. Read to the end for an invitation...
I wrote about the societal diseases of billionairism and narcissism that our country is suffering to a terminal degree, the reasons why building communities is the most effective treatment for it, and what that means for The Reframe.
