To my friends outside the States, yes it really is this bad. To my friends inside the States, we can’t just denounce - we have to strategize and act.

My new Substack on the dangers of judging the morality of violence based on who does it (especially when the govt does it)

America’s nationalism problem
Judging violent actions through partisan lenses is a recipe for disaster – especially when the government is doing it.

I wrote a new essay where I argue the current political moment is an acute crisis between two fundamentally different ways we think politics should work: and what this means for how we organize for political struggles today. If it resonates with you, please share! open.substack.com/pub/makethen...

The Imperial Word and the Relational World
The current political crisis is driven by two fundamentally different views of how the world works – and one of them needs to be empowered.

Published a new essay on organizing and political advocacy in an age of executive branch hyperactivity and the crumbling of any effective opposition party. It’s free to access and share. Please read, comment, and share if you find it useful for how we approach the current political crises.
open.substack.com
A government bent on causing mass misery is no longer restrained by the courts or an effective opposition party. Now what?
We need to face the fact that old strategies of political action aren’t going to work.

More college administrators need to see the current moment for what it is. Folks in US higher ed who think that if they just bend to the ‘current’ flurry of repressive govt demands it will save their funding are delusional. If they cave now, there will be no end to the increasingly draconian orders

To these people, “freedom” means the freedom of the rich to exploit, the freedom of the rich to poison, and the freedom of the rich to kill. If they attempt to build these “freedom cities,” we must exercise our true freedom to raze them to the ground.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

My thoughts on the coming few weeks...

The new regime takes the reins of the government on Monday – and things will probably not go as planned.
All signs point to a MAGA overstep and a fierce reaction.
