This is an excellent listen: @thedigradio.bsky.social with @quinnslobodian.com and @bentarnoff.com about their recent book. I went in cautiously b/c I can't spare another brain cell for Musk, but the emphasis is squarely on the 'ism'. Super interesting analysis. thedigradio.com/podcast/musk...

Two weeks ago, we swept municipal elections in Providence, RI. It’s the latest and a truly spectacular victory for the US left and will allow my city to become a real innovation hub for progressive solutions to the housing crisis, including rent stabilization and social housing.

Before @danieldenvir.bsky.social helped sweep elections across Providence, we worked through the backlog of listener questions for the Dig, which mostly asked about the nuts and bolts of socialist transition. We - or at least I - dutifully ducked them, but hopefully in a way that's interesting

Providence Mayor Brett Smiley released an attack ad trying to demonize me as a socialist extremist. It’s a desperate effort to blunt the momentum behind David Morales. Please donate DavidMoralesPVD.com and help us make Smiley regret his fearmongering, red-baiting campaign.

Yep, @danieldenvir.bsky.social hits directly on the major weakness of Smiley: promises of technocracy that don't match up with reality while demanding that Providence residents expect less from their city government. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/17/m...
The mayor’s pitch is that we should think small and be satisfied that he is a competent technocrat who often delivers the bare minimum in municipal services. And yet everyone who lived through this past winter’s blizzards knows that Smiley has failed on his own terms. He tapped Patricia Coyne-Fague, former Director of the Rhode Island Department of Corrections, to lead the city’s disastrous snow response as head of the Department of Public Works. She had no relevant experience. As Mamdani has made clear in New York, democratic socialism’s first task is to demonstrate that “government can deliver.”
