I had a private conversation with another rapid responder in late January where we both confessed to having been listening to Battle Hymn of the Republic late at night a bunch

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

This too is a kind of World Land Bridge

We're getting on with the job of delivering Australia's energy transition.  And we're doing it by investing in the cheapest form of energy and putting downward pressure on power prices.

This plus Donald Trump winning the 2024 Republican Party primary while banned from television and slumped in the courthouse at his criminal trial ought to put to bed the idea that politics is just top down propaganda and not the active participation of a citizenry with the agency to shape our future
