For my part, I refuse to buy American. As an American expat, I am telling any Canadian who will listen, including my poor law students, that Trump is an enemy of Canada, Europe, the UN, NATO and anyone who supports democracy, multilateralism or wants to take action against climate change. Unfortunately for all of us, he is aligned with large technology companies that operate globally and share his antipathy for regulation and taxation.
It is time for democracies and multilateral organizations to quietly turn away and decouple from Trump's America. If Trump and global technology companies aligned with him don't want to fight against climate change, support human rights, abide by our laws or pay digital service taxes in our countries, then maybe they should not be allowed access to our markets. I don't believe that the US market alone is enough for their ambitions.
Finally, it is important that democracies protect their citizens and countries against the grey warfare that is becoming increasingly common due to digital technologies. Grey warfare includes spreading disinformation, the destabilization of economic markets through corruption or threats, cyberattacks, assassinations, legal means to silence dissent or resistance and support for proxy combatants. Trump and his tech bros seem to be willing to use grey warfare against Canada, Mexico, Denmark and Panama...The question is Who's Next?
Thank you and thanks for reading. She is inspiring! I could have written an entire article just on her artful use of evasion and disguise. She made the Nazis half insane with frustration. And they never did catch her. I hope that we would all have some of her spirit and determination should it come to it.
Thank you for the note and for reading. I always wonder the same thing. She slept on straw pallets in open barns in the cold and ate whatever, showered when she could or not. It's hard to imagine the sacrifice and the determination. But I would also like to think I would put some kind of dent in the enemy!
Thank you so much for the history, resources, and links. Love reading this. Amazing. 🙏🏼

I'm with you and I hope this kind of pressure works. If not, I fear that very dark days are ahead. https://www.weforum.org/podcasts/radio-davos/episodes/global-risks-report-davos2023/

Yes it Will strech out it’s ugly arms and greedily reach most everywhere, like a toxic foul stench
I think this is the beginning of a poem, perhaps? “The Stench in D.C.”?
Great idea!!! It won’t be pretty
Beautiful & wonderful. I hope I would have had & will have a mere smidgen of her courage & dedication to fight for righteousness.
