🇺🇸 Tomorrow is the United States' 250th birthday. In this @3streamsblog.bsky.social op-ed, Aubrey Jackson Soller (UMBC) argues the U.S. government is failing to deliver on its social contract promises of economic security, health, and liberty, while justifying its authority through state violence.

An op-ed by me: The NYC primaries show that Democratic socialists are especially strong in NYC. But their success there is not being replicated nationally. Journalistic takes that a Tea Party of the left are somewhere between highly overstated and completely wrong. medium.com/3streams/wha...

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history. The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

I'm struck by the contrast between the passion for democracy shown by Iranians willing to die for it and the complacency with which many Americans have accepted an authoritarian slide.
Americans should cheer for Iran's democrats--and also learn from their determination.
