If we want to make elections more democratic, we could start by not treating John Roberts as a guy with actual principles. www.readthedetox.com/p/the-nyt-bu...

Anyone who opposes Supreme Court expansion must ansswer the following question: How would the consequences be *worse* than what we have now?

A rather obvious problem few are grappling with: Trump and his party won't give up power after an election loss. Fortunately, political science shows the way. In my latest for the New Republic, I explain how we force them out: newrepublic.substack.com/p/if-trump-s...

let trump ramble long enough about anyone and he'll either sexualize them in the grossest way possible or talk about executing them

If/when Trump tries to steal the midterms, diversifying our resistance methods is KEY. Vote, peacefully protest, then *be ready to grind everything to a halt*. “The people determine whether the dictator rules—not the other way around.” A must read from Neil Abrams. 👇 newrepublic.com/article/2161...

No dictator can rule without the people’s consent. Withdraw that consent, and he is just another guy with a spray tan and a chancy comb-over. trib.al/J3PNqLs

For those who missed my New Republic piece from earlier this week...

Got an essay out in the New Republic today: "If Trump Steals an Election, Here’s What to Do." newrepublic.substack.com/p/if-trump-s...

Pretty wild to see Alito describe reliance on Obergefell as "much more concrete" than reliance on Roe v. Wade, because Roe was merely about "women's ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in." If it's a Ladies Issue, he just doesn't give a shit. www.cbsnews.com/news/samuel-...

My latest in the New Republic: If Trump and his party won't accept an election loss, it's up to the people to force them. Thankfully, there's a time-tested way. newrepublic.com/article/2161...

War seems to be going well. Congrats all around. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/u...

In my experience, the only people I've ever met who bragged about their IQ have tended to be some of the dumbest people I've ever met.

The folks over at leftrenewal.org have been kind enough to republish my latest essay on genocide denial in Israel and Serbia. They’ve built a great outlet there, and I encourage you all to subscribe. leftrenewal.org/articles-en/...

Wrote a little essay comparing genocide denial in Israel and Serbia - in particular, how leaders in each deny genocide despite openly admitting their intent to carry it out. www.readthedetox.com/p/israel-ser...

“I am a professional opinion writer whose knowledge of computers is limited to emails, web browsing, and Microsoft Word. Here’a how I think A.I. will evolve over the next ten years.”

It's amazing the kind of split-brained gymnastics these people must perform to oppose genocidal occupation in Palestine and, in the next breath, call for accepting it in Ukraine. Is genocidal occupation bad or not? Should it be resisted or not? Make up your mind. www.open.online/2026/09/20/f...

Newsom is so thirsty for support for his presidential bid from billionaires and the worst of the worst people destroying our democracy he will undermine our most fundamental rights at every turn to get what he wants. Anything about the "constant contact" remind you of Trump?

For all his anti-Trump grandstanding, Newsom is hopelessly ill-suited to handle this authoritarian moment. If Americans want to restore their democracy, they should kick out every one of these establishment Dem assholes at the soonest opportunity.

The RNC in 2024 gave every delegate a “Mass Deportations Now” sign.

"But surely we can still count on you to come and humiliate us at the next White House Correspondents' Dinner, right sir?"

Thread. 😬 Some context: of the ten papers, the author of one yanked it on being contacted; the author of another said they couldn’t meet because of conflicting commitments; the author of a third just didn’t show up. For academics, publications are REALLY important.

How many more months of war and how many more dead Ukrainian civilians will it take before Europeans find a conscience and transfer Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine? What more proof do you need that Moscow does not want to negotiate? Let’s find a solution @de-nva.bsky.social

For decades, people have been writing books arguing that fiat money is a "sham" and predicting that a massive crisis is just around the corner. But no, I'm sure Hunter's onto something.

While Dems fall over themselves to disavow Hasan Piker, the Trump administration proudly brings white nationalists into its ranks, thus gifting Dems daily opportunities to go on the attack and change the conversation. But for some reason, Dems refrain. They're more comfortable attacking their own.

At one point, I started writing a book comparing apologists for genocide in Ukraine and Palestine. But then Trump was reelected, so instead I'm writing a book on how to overthrow him (nonviolently).

Guys, when legions of human rights experts and organizations - you know, people who've *made careers* out of studying genocide - call it a genocide, saying "no, it's not" doesn't qualify as a legitimate counterargument.

Trump thinks that if you pay somebody $10 for a burrito than you have lost the $10, like it has been stolen from you. He's not pretending; this is literally the basis of his trade policy

this is actually worth listening to. not because it's that more insane than most other stuff. but it's a window into how he understands trade. and he understands in the sense of having no idea how anything works.
