Oil and War are back in 2026. Some folks at #APSA mentioned they needed things to teach on the subject. So, with apologies to those who don't need a reminder, I share some of my writings that might suit the purpose. 🧵 1/n First up, on 2026 US interventions in #Venezuela: @goodauth.bsky.social

Trump made a clear choice: return to petro-imperialism
To understand what just happened in Venezuela, look at oil politics and U.S. foreign policy.

I spoke to three moms who lost all of the food in their fridge and freezer during the blackout in Gary Indiana. They all had their replacement SNAP benefits denied. Experts told me they are concerned about how the state is operating the program after the disaster. 19thnews.org/2026/09/gary...

Families lost weeks of food they couldn't afford to replace. Then their SNAP claims were denied.
As the city of Gary recovers from a devastating power outage, advocates say Indiana has a simple fix at its fingertips that could get parents the help they need.

The conventional wisdom is the Democrats' big climate law failed to deliver votes and then died. That's wrong. My new study finds its factories moved 2.5 million votes—more than Trump's margin. And the law's still alive. My latest in @theatlantic.com. Gift link! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think
Conventional wisdom holds that Joe Biden’s bet on climate investment was a bust. The data suggest otherwise.

also a hell of a day to remember Thibs, Randle, DiVincenzo (and the double bang v. the Sixers a couple of years back), because this team doesn't win this chip without them. Brown got the Knicks to this moment, but Thibs turned around an org that just had a 17 win season. love those guys forever 💙🧡

was texting about this w/ @thetattooedprof.bsky.social , but it was such a contrast to the ECF - Spida was going around and congratulating and hugging not just the Knicks players, but even Spike Lee. and that was after being swept and losing at home in brutal fashion. nothing but respect for Spida.

while we're ripping on all the Brunson naysayers who questioned the signing on day 1, we gotta remember fake ass fan Stephen A Smith who dismissed him when he joined the Knicks, and then was commenting on Brunson being selfish and playing to win MVP rather than playing to win after the Game 3 loss

Jalen Brunson has been doubted as an NBA player so often. Contract with the Knicks was called an overpay. Then the 1A conversation. Then various critiques about his efficiency this series. Took over a closeout game in the Finals. Finals MVP. Champion. That's my Captain.
