NEW RESEARCH confirms: Countering far-right messaging by repeating it mainstreams extremist ideas and amplifying extremist terminology cedes the framing of the issues to the right. (I’ll add that social media “dunking” only serves to spread undesired content.) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Growing up after WWII, I always hoped concentration camps were history, not current events. But here we are, with thousands of migrants in squalid conditions, no due process, and $45B in new camps to come Coming to terms with an American nightmare. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/us-c...

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute. Spread it far and wide.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
