## Resource

Things within the United States and outside, where a mindless, disastrous war continues, continue to spiral, so I’m very glad to have these Wednesday conversations with Danielle Moodie . In this episode of The Check-In , we talk about the moment where white supremacist and capitalist privilege finally meets reality. Trump is stuck in an awful position and there’s no easy way out. No bankruptcy to declare. No rich father to bail him out. Only a declining empire and a complete and utter failure that will doubtlessly change things going forward. It was a great talk and I hope it helps you. Dispatches From A Collapsing State desperately needs your help.
