You don't need a ceasefire for a peace deal. Yeah right. And you don't need good faith for entering an agreement. Standard #trump.

The whole experience was very stressful because of the fear of injuries we might witness.
Greyhound racing is still a thing in NZ and the industry is fighting the ban due to come into effect in a year.
Today I was part of a peaceful protest: we were holding a big banner ("Stop greyhound racing", first photo), had signs, and were recording footage.
Pretty terrifying to watch the "Land of the Free" or whatever become a fascist regime at high speed. Hard to imagine the range of consequences it will have on everyone, in the States and abroad.

I consider intersectional patterns of inequity and based on them I suggest three ways forward:
π Measuring what we value
β‘οΈ Aligning delivery with strategy
π₯ Retrofitting inherited environments and systems
Writing it was such a great opportunity to look back at all I had been reading and thinking, from the equity perspective.

Fantastic reality-check by Paul Krugman: Trump hailing tariffs and not income tax as *the* great prosperity booster is simply at odds with history. Which would better go forgotten.
