A few individuals, people such as Lowell, Abramowitz, Moss, a number of lower court judges and the occasional university president, are standing up to Trump. But their battles are isolated and discreet. Most of America’s “adults” are still keeping their heads down. “We need to figure out a way to get people across domains to stand up together for the rule of law — from business, the military, civil society and the media,” said Senator Warner. “I no longer believe our political institutions will do it.”

Traffic Congestion and Infant Health: Evidence from E-ZPass Janet Currie and Reed Walker We exploit the introduction of electronic toll collection, (E-ZPass), which greatly reduced both traffic congestion and vehicle emissions near highway toll plazas. We show that the introduction of E-ZPass reduced prematurity and low birth weight among mothers within 2 kilometers (km) of a toll plaza by 10.8 percent and 11.8 percent, respectively, relative to mothers 2–10 km from a toll plaza. There were no immediate changes in the characteristics of mothers or in housing prices near toll plazas that could explain these changes. The results are robust to many changes in specification and suggest that traffic congestion contributes significantly to poor health among infants.

ChatGPT: Scholarly consensus: Political scientists and historians often stop short of labeling Trump outright fascist. Instead, they tend to describe him as an authoritarian populist with fascistic tendencies. Some scholars (e.g., Jason Stanley, Ruth Ben-Ghiat) argue Trumpism is part of a modern, “soft” form of fascism, while others caution against using the term too loosely since it’s historically specific. 👉 In short: Trump displays traits that overlap with fascism, but most experts classify him as a right-wing populist or authoritarian leader rather than a textbook fascist.

Schmitt wrote extensively about the effective wielding of political power. An authoritarian conservative theorist,[4] he was noted as a critic of parliamentary democracy, liberalism, and cosmopolitanism.[5] His works covered political theory, legal theory, continental philosophy, and political theology. However, they are controversial, mainly due to his intellectual support for, and active involvement with, Nazism.[6] In 1933, Schmitt joined the Nazi Party and utilized his legal and political theories to provide ideological justification for the regime. However, he later lost favour among senior Nazi officials and was ultimately removed from his official positions within the party. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy writes that "Schmitt was an acute observer and analyst of the weaknesses of liberal constitutionalism and liberal cosmopolitanism. But there can be little doubt that his preferred cure turned out to be infinitely worse than the disease."[7] His ideas remain highly influential, with many scholars arguing he has influenced modern governance in China and Russia.
Sho Shibuya (b. 1984) is a Japanese artist who has lived in New York City since 2011. The Sunrise from a Small Window series is Shibuya’s most characteristic work, which began as a daily meditation on the contrast between the steady morning sky and the increasingly chaotic news. Taken over time, it creates a visual record of each day, capturing the natural beauty of the sunrise as well as the significant events that punctuate the timeline and still continue daily.

"The ever-observant Sho Shibuya is known for his daily meditations blanketing the covers of The New York Times. From trenchant commentary on global happenings to peaceful gradients depicting the sky, the artist’s paintings are a tactile record of contemporary life, considering elements both in our control and not."
Emmeline Pankhurst (/ˈpæŋkhɜːrst/; née Goulden; 15 July 1858 – 14 June 1928) was a British political activist who organised the British suffragette movement and helped women to win in 1918 the right to vote in Great Britain and Ireland. In 1999, Time named her as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century, stating that "she shaped an idea of objects for our time" and "shook society into a new pattern from which there could be no going back". She was widely criticised for her militant tactics, and historians disagree about their effectiveness, but her work is recognised as a crucial element in achieving women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmeline_Pankhurst
