As the year winds down, may we face what’s broken and still choose care. The world feels unmoored, but what endures is attention, not authority. Repair happens close to homeβ€”refusing to look away, protecting dignity, and keeping faith in one another.

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.

To every American tuning in to Trump’s address tonight, do two things before you watch:

Check your 401k.

Check your last grocery bill, and add 25%.

No matter what the President says tonight, that’s the reality of what he’s doing to your family finances.

I’m headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on Minnesota farmers.

Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isn’t made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.

Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality argues, in part, that private property leads to competition, exploitation, and corruption, that benefits the powerful while deepening social divides.

And here we are.

And the judge just served Justice.
