We had a disk failure, & had to restore from backup. Astute readers may notice that we’ve lost a few days’ worth of posts.

We apologize for the horrible discontinuity.

Sometimes the crucial moment in a crisis is when you’re focused on other things long before consequences peak— true of climate change, true of the failure to protect voting rights last year. It’s true of Pelosi’s fake blind trust bill. Stop it right now or face horrors later.
