Thank you! Ben!!! Such dangerous fools we have as leaders. And thank you for replaying the Authoritarian Playbook for 2025— I’m also reading about how the French Resistance operated. So many people I know feel so frustrated and fearful.

A great American, and a lamed vavnik, one of the 36 righteous who prevent God from destroying the world (though we may be pushing our luck these days).

I also have an idea to wave a flag that says, "Let he who tied the bell on the Tiger's tail take it off."

Thanks so much for your courage and dedication, Ben. In Santa Fe today there will be a big demonstration at the State Capital building. We in my house have been tending to try not to keep up with the news but you have convinced us that in this time courage is needed and facing reality is needed. Keep it up...
