one more thought that I think deserves its own thread: if I were a lib I'd spend 1000% less time on the weird unforced error of apologetics for the Jeffersons and Hamiltons of the liberal political tradition and 1000% more time venerating its Lafayettes and Lincolns

I think about this a lot, and it is always a conversation with students. Slightly earlier comparison that we do: I have them read the “shining city on a hill” speech against the “true levelers standard.” Conflicting—Dissenting—views of Genesis and the world it sets up for us. If only.

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission. They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again. And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

Missing Helen & trying to think of the best way to honor them. Perhaps it is to let myself be useless. Count grass. Maybe sand. Helen wrote,” joy doesn't always come spontaneously. Much like wonder, you have to make space for it in your life” & so I will try. helendecruz.substack.com/p/finding-joy

An utterly profound loss. What a brilliant and fantastic person. A genuine, real philosopher who will be missed. May Helen’s work live on.

Helen is, I think, one of the most exciting and moving thinkers and writers whose work I’ve gotten to know over the past few years, primarily over social media. This will be really wonderful.

@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

So @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social did a writeup of Brad Lander's arrest today at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, focusing not just on Lander's treatment, but the treatment of immigrants inside, both in the courtroom and once they are detained. prospect.org/justice/2025...

Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.

As marines descend on LA, as Trump moves closer and closer to martial law, it will be tempting to victim-blame. To equivocate. To find some reason the protesters deserve what’s coming. They don’t.

Mass protests are an implicit threat of potential violence even when they are entirely peaceful. They serve to keep state power in check by demonstrating “there are more of us than you so fix your shit.” The state knows this, which is why its agents often respond to them with unprovoked violence.
