I also will repeat that Ro Khanna needs to be thrown out of every progressive space ever. Straight up begging his party to support nazis.

I finally finished this post from @mattpolprof.bsky.social on the the far right canon. Seems like a good Who's Who kind of resource for some names and ideas I'm afraid we'll be stuck with for quite a while.

No elite bubble is more impenetrable than the one in which elite political professionals applaud each other for uttering banalities like these. Little of this "advice" is actionable for Dems in the real world, no matter how hard this bubble discourse pretends otherwise. Grift factor here is large.

Oooh this could be fun. Chess is underrated and didn't deserve to flop the way it did. That said, there are a bunch of versions of Chess, with different songs and even wildly different plots. I hope they stick to something closer to the more compelling Broadway story.

I skimmed a lot of this book yesterday. The famous takeaway is that the abolition of the slave trade had more to do with economic interests than morality. But alongside this is a (Smithian!) case for how monopoly & slavery went hand in hand, and how free trade eroded both. This all seems relevant.

This is what Democrats should be doing right now. One part of it is making the case in public. The other part of it is doing the work NOW to gather evidence for a legal case against these assholes later, so that can move quickly (unlike the Trump cases 2021-2024)

Very much enjoyed this discussion. I'm unqualified to say what went wrong with what looked like a triumphal march of feminism in the all too brief #MeToo era. But I'm convinced bold feminism is necessary to fight fascism, because patriarchy is at its heart.

Thank you for having me! I genuinely had a wonderful time discussing the various inflection points and rhetorical challenges feminism has faced over the past few decades on the topic of trans people and our increasingly hard to ignore visibility. Please have a look if you wanna hear me yap more :3

On June 2nd, 1975, 100 sex workers gathered at the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France. They demanded an end stigma, criminal penalties and police harassment. They hung a banner which read ‘Our children don’t want their mothers to go to jail’ That was when International Sex workers' Day started.
