Very excited to share that this paper co-authored with Derrick Gray is finally making its way into publication. In this paper, we use debates about exploitation to complicate taxonomies of ideal and non-ideal theory, and to highlight a problematic ideological bent in some non-ideal theorizing 🧵

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

It's no magic bullet. But one thing opponents of the Trump/Musk administration can do is protest at Tesla dealerships. It's a point of vulnerability. Tesla protest info for you to find (organized by Indivisible) is here: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

1/ The reason this is particularly bad—and undermines all the great journalism the Times does—is that it a) treats lives like a game b) will be seen as the view/cavalier attitude of the entire NYT, and not just 10 columnists, many of whom should have been put out to pasture long ago.

There's so much bad in this paragraph it's hard to know where to start. FAA is now controlled by Elon Musk. He's awarding himself this contract. That's not what a conflict of interest means. This is simple looting. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The exchange between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today in which our country attacked the victim in defense of a brutal aggressor has to be one of the most shameful moments in Modern American history.

More of this, please! We need law professors with integrity and backbone to call out colleagues who attempt to launder Trump’s unconstitutional cruelty through bullshit originalism. And to do so in blunt terms without the cloak of polite formalisms that obscure the depths of hackery on display.

Brendan Carr outright admits that he has no principles at all. He doesn't actually care about free speech, or anything else other than the raw exercise of power This was of course obvious all along from his actions, but it's notable to hear it from the horse's mouth www.c-span.org/video/?c5155...

Bigots whose goal is straightforwardly to hurt people for being different, the most crude kinda raw visceral arbitrary hatred, are gunning for trans people across the world. And in America they have significant and growing power.

Real q: why are modern American progressives so bad at building coalitions? The right wing is this ideologically incoherent hodge-podge of unrelated or even oppositional causes, yet they manage to work as a bloc. By contrast, liberals + leftists spend a huge amount of energy fighting w each other.
