When history is written, the Roberts Court will be blamed for the evisceration of American democracy.

Book update: it’s gone through the review process and the faculty board. It’s now been submitted. Two and a half years work!

Check out my new piece on Christian Democracy, which ends with a critique of JD Vance and postliberalism.

never mind they're designating Anthropic a supply chain risk and trying to knife the company for refusing to make killbots and domestic surveillance systems for the US government. absolutely insane, shameful, and corrupt behavior

I have an essay in Commonweal on postwar Christian Democracy. This was an extremely successful political and economic order. And JD Vance and the postliberals utterly repudiate its values. www.commonwealmagazine.org/annett-ahmar...

Born Out of Catastrophe
Christian Democratic parties rebuilt Europe after the devastation of World War II. A renewed Christian Democratic tradition could help stop Trumpism and rebuild the United States.

A stunning day but I think the UK can be a bit proud of itself tonight - we’ve shown that nobody is above the law (USA look and learn though it may be too late - your justice system is in the hands of your mad King)

Crypto has only two functions: gambling and crime. Any politician courting this industry should be ashamed.

This is fine. But strange not to mention Lent.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

Jesse Jackson was always written off as a left-wing extremist on economics. But he was right all along. He was prophetic.

Economist Intelligence Unit lists it as a flawed democracy. And that’s from 2024 - before the return of Trump.

Great article, linking the Epstein class to the immunity of financiers in the wake of the financial crisis. And it rightly fingers the Obama administration in this.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
