## Resource

Very grateful, as always, for this conversation with Danielle Moodie following the madness of the last couple of days. We discussed Trump holding the world hostage, the “ceasefire,” which was a surrender and disguise and likely won’t hold, and, perhaps more importantly, a conversation about what we can all do to get ready for the next stage of imperial collapse.
