With fewer than 100 days until the midterms, a shameless plug: If you want to understand just how much our systems of electoral democracy have been degraded, especially for racial and ethnic minorities, you could do worse than preordering our book. Out Oct 6! press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

FWIW, I'm interviewing people who experienced ICE in MN and it's not surprising to me that they didn't react with voter reg + pol donations. People are disenchanted with mainstream politics, spending spare $ on rent funds + buying groceries for neighbors. Mobilized by injustice a la @hlw.bsky.social

Minority Power "Marginalized groups develop sophisticated alternative conceptualizations of power as collective resistance, cultural preservation and mutual aid that enable transformation despite structural disadvantages." #SocialPsyc
This article synthesizes cutting-edge research from our special issue examining power across groups, communities and nations to advance a fundamental reconceptualization that reveals power's inherent plurality, dynamism and cultural embeddedness. Drawing on evidence from a diverse set of countries and innovative methodologies, we demonstrate that traditional definitions of power as asymmetric resource control fail to capture its real-world complexity. The collected research reveals three critical insights. First, power operates through multiple, intersecting mechanisms—from ideological frameworks like hegemonic masculinity to seemingly benevolent helping behaviours that maintain hierarchies. Second, power's meaning and operation vary dramatically across cultural contexts, with the power-status relationship ranging from nearly synonymous in some societies to entirely disconnected in others. Third, marginalized groups develop sophisticated alternative conceptualizations of power as collective resistance, cultural preservation and mutual aid that enable transformation despite structural disadvantages. These findings necessitate theoretical frameworks that accommodate power's plurality while identifying general principles, examining dynamic processes rather than static attributes and integrating multiple levels of analysis. We argue for moving beyond imposed definitions to understand how diverse groups conceptualize their own agency, examining not just domination but resistance and developing interventions that promote more equitable power distributions.

One of the unique things Talarico does is market progressive ideas in a religious frame. He is BOTH radical and moderate. This is the kind of thing that unidimensional discussions of “electability” can miss. This isn’t about the TX primary but about how “electability”-stans are thinking too small.
