Probably should've been getting more worried when the governor started going around saying "It's really important we get it right for Elon Musk or whoever the litigants are in Delaware courts. We're cognizant that there may be some things that need to change." But here we are.

Aside from anything else, it’s been good to see people like Warren focus the framing in the fact that these are workers first and foremost. Notable that the attempted process here is possibly of the largest mass firings in American history.

Not the biggest thing going on in the news right now, but very excited to publish the first part of my three-part series on the Wilmington Federation of Teachers and its place in Delaware's history and political economy delawarecall.com/2025/02/18/b...

Every day this gets closer and closer to reality, as I am forced to reckon with the fact that I have spent way to many hours focused on a 150-year-old labor organization that most people have never heard of

Guy saw my Eagles hat walking around in the snow during the playoffs and offered to take a picture of us which is still our only non-selfie picture together. Go Birds and a happy happy Valentine's Day to the wonderful @cursetn.bsky.social

In 1980, the CEOs of Hercules and DuPont went on a national campaign against Delaware's business practices. Governor Pete DuPont responded by slashing taxes on the rich and deregulating the banking industry, which got them off his back and created jobs, but accelerated the national neoliberal turn

A fundamental problem with a lot of elected officials is that they see the whole idea of representative democracy as something they need to work around rather than the whole job description

So happy that @madinahfordelaware.bsky.social has agreed to co-host for Storm the Fort! We've done a lot of work together over the last six years trying to help the 21st century working class, so it'll be fun to talk more about those 19th century efforts too. Go birds.

Republicans are making the most Democrat-coded mistake in the world right now: discovering some funding sources and assuming that means that the strength and values of their opponents are purely astroturfed. Bodes well for them completely underestimating a midterm backlash.

The plan is very clear at this point: start with broad, unclear announcements backed by blustery rhetoric, then the people affected change their behavior to avoid the potential for backlash, allowing Trump to pick and choose who to support and who to punish with maximum leverage

After over 40 books, 30 academic papers, thousands of pages of primary sources read, and now 90k words of script written (with an election cycle wedged in there), excited to get to work on making this a reality.

It’s just gonna be years of this. It’s a classic online right thing of doing something blatant enough that the freaks will notice and laugh, but with *just* enough pretense that they can say it wasn’t actually the serious thing that they’re obviously referencing

Doing some reflection ahead of Trump's inauguration tomorrow and what it means for our work with WFP. We're going to see a lot of really bad stuff in the next four years, and I can't help but think about the common feature: total class warfare against the workers in this country.
