Making Sense of 2025
This is a collection of journalists, news agencies, bloggers, and blue sky "skeeters" that I think are good sources of information that help me make sense of *gestures to everything* in 2025. Anything about the war on democracy: from tecno billionaires to Trump to opus dei to breaking news.
