Weekly Wrap Up - January 23, 2026

Summary

This week, Eddie offers a somber analysis of a global and domestic political mega storm, focusing on the erosion of democratic institutions and humanitarian values. He criticizes plans to redevelop Gaza as an imperial real estate venture that ignores the displacement of its people, while also warning that the post-World War II international order is fracturing. Domestically, Eddie argues that the politicization of the legal system and the disregard for the rule of law have created a crisis of legitimacy for American democracy. He specifically highlights the cruelty of immigration enforcement in Minnesota, citing the detention of a child and the death of a civilian as evidence of a radicalized agenda. Eddie calls for civil resistance and economic strikes to counter what he views as a descent into a monstrous and exclusionary political reality.
