‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

My father died a year and a half ago, but I only found out last October. I had not talked to him in 35 years. This is for all the people with shit dads, we are multitudes! When I found out, I was sad not to be sad, i’d already done all my grieving. 1/6

It’s that time of year, where after 340 days of waiting, the peonies bloom and we have a violent thunderstorm the next day.

If you’re interested in very niche political good news, JM Aulas, a French tech billionaire who followed the classic path of buying the local soccer club and suing independent media, LOST his bid to be the mayor of Lyon. It’s been a long time since I lived in Lyon, but I couldn’t be happier.

This is a performative war of macho posturing by third rate figures who mistake the audience of social media and right wing cable TV for the gravitas (?) of diplomacy and foreign policy. It would be comic if it was not so painfully tragic.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
