It’s designed to keep the status quo, we’re the new slaves

“The end of the liberal world order” is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot in conference rooms and lecture halls. But in war-ravaged Sudan, it’s a reality. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social traveled there and spoke with those who are living in this post-American world: https://theatln.tc/y99eBkQu

DC teens gathered for Halloween so the Capitol Police and the National Guard arrested them.
