Today is the May 3rd broadcast of New Abolitionists Radio. It has been more than 100 days and nobody has managed to derail the insane trump train yet.

On this day in 1469, the Italian philosopher and writer Niccolo Machiavelli was born. Machiavelli became one of the fathers of modern political theory. ‘The Prince’ was first published as a pamphlet in 1513. In it, Machiavelli outlined his vision of an ideal leader: an amoral, calculating tyrant for whom the end justifies the means. Sound familiar?
