Watching sitcoms might be more significant than we think — @shalmarr.bsky.social makes a compelling case for popular culture as an essential practice in cultivating liberal values and civic identity hubs.ly/Q049Bv6z0

"Liberalism is a conversation. It has been for centuries, and it will be for centuries more. We haven't figured it all out yet, but we do know there are certain bedrock principles that are non-negotiable, because they are simply the way we ought to treat one another." — @aaronrosspowell.com

Human societies can be incredibly resilient, or they can fall apart. Drawing on cultural anthropology, evolutionary biology, and economics, @jkuznicki.bsky.social argues that our ability to imagine disaster runs way ahead of the disasters we meet in the real world. hubs.ly/Q049hfbp0

“The argument of the book is that the more seriously one tries to control immigration, the more it will have an impact on citizens.” —Chandran Kukathas

Indigent defense is one of those places where trying to save a few bucks up front delivers everyone a much worse justice system. @radleybalko.bsky.social shows us how that happens:

In criminal justice, incentives matter. As @radleybalko.bsky.social shows, misaligned incentives can undermine fairness at every level. hubs.ly/Q048WhzP0

A stronger domestic agenda starts with smarter foreign policy. @emmamashford.bsky.social argues it’s time for realism over overreach. hubs.la/Q048Fq830

“The most important insight in the liberal tradition is that by spreading power out you can mitigate its harmful effects.” — @mattzwolinski.bsky.social

As calls grow for liberals to “fight,” Kevin Elliott asks whether doing so risks changing liberalism itself. www.liberalism.org/p/if-liberal...

Immigration policy isn’t just about borders it’s about freedom at home. @ilyasomin.bsky.social explores how restrictions impact Americans’ rights and opportunities. hubs.la/Q047KNMb0

Markets aren’t perfect. Governments aren’t either. Michael Munger calls for a liberalism grounded in humility, toleration, and skepticism toward power wherever it shows up. hubs.ly/Q047lYPY0

"I don’t think most people who have pent up frustrations are saying I’m really frustrated with liberal democracy. They say my grown children who are gainfully employed can’t afford to live in the place that they want to." — @emilychamleewright.bsky.social

Behind the scenes of the Liberalism.org Show at Arena Hall with guest Virginia Postrel. From innovation to culture, we’re exploring how liberal ideas shape human flourishing, live from the Flourishing House neighborhood at @sxsw.com. More liberal content coming soon.

When we treat preferences as necessities, scarcity stops being a fact of life and becomes something we create ourselves. Read more from Sarah Skwire:

I haven’t mentioned here yet, but I’m lucky enough to be working with the folks at @liberalism.org these days, and am super excited. It’s great to be back with old friends like @aaronrosspowell.com, and just as cool to be helping out new ones like @uncanonical.net on this new series. Subscribe!

Landry and I have worked together, in one way or another, for it's gotta be pushing a decade. He was my producer on Free Thoughts, then after I left that job, became my producer on ReImagining Liberty. And now he's with us on @liberalism.org. It's awesome getting to do cool projects with friends.

At @liberalism.org, we are blessed to have @jkuznicki.bsky.social as our editor-in-chief. Read his editor's introduction, setting out the publication's principles, and positioning our liberalism as a response to today's grimly illiberal moment. www.liberalism.org/p/what-early...

"We understand liberalism to be under threat today, not just in the United States, but globally. Its defense could not be more urgent. Liberalism underwrites many of the good things that all Americans, and all people of goodwill, take for granted." - me, at @liberalism.org

"We @liberalism.org seek conversations with people who still care about and believe in the idea of public policy as an instrument of the public good. We think the public’s trust is worth winning, and that public concerns are worth taking seriously. We think earnestness pays."

Liberals take concentration of power seriously, and liberalism offers solutions to the dangers of concentrated power. @mattzwolinski.bsky.social talks about how in a new essay at @liberalism.org. www.liberalism.org/p/the-enemy-is…

Liberalism means limiting power, protecting rights, and sustaining open inquiry and pluralism. Those commitments don’t self-actualize. Read more from @jkuznicki.bsky.social

"I don't want to say it's never important to be patriotic or think about your country. It's hardwired in a certain way. But, once you go to a certain point, once you over emphasize it I think you get into real trouble." - Chandran Kukathas

"If your central commitment is the dispersal of power, then you must oppose its concentration wherever you find it. In the state, yes—but also in private monopoly... [and] in any institution that grows powerful enough to dictate terms to those who depend on it." - @mattzwolinski.bsky.social

@mattzwolinski.bsky.social's terrific inaugural piece for @liberalism.org, on the long-standing concern among classical liberals about concentrated power.

Power is the problem wherever it concentrates. In 1934, Henry Simons warned that no leader, party, or monopoly can be trusted with too much of it. What if markets are about dispersing power? Read @mattzwolinski.bsky.social

"An open society does not leave us adrift. Rather, it creates a positive feedback loop that actively rewards the very traits—tolerance, curiosity, mutual respect, delight in others’ success—that lead to ethical, happy, and flourishing lives. Our liberalism is open." - @aaronrosspowell.com

At @liberalism.org, we're building what comes after this failed illiberal experiment that we've been living through. Come join us:

Liberalism is a conversation about dignity, freedom, and how we live well together. Director of Liberalism.org, @aaronrosspowell.com, invites you to join that conversation:

We’re at a hinge moment in our history, and the future of our free society is once again an open question. Read our inaugural essay from @emilychamleewright.bsky.social. www.liberalism.org/p/at-a-hinge...

I'm thrilled to share my new podcast at the just-launched Liberalism.org. Now: Chandran Kukathas Next: Elizabeth Anderson and Jacob Levy Soon: Ed Glaeser, Simone Chambers, Melvin Rogers, Mikayla Novak, Theodore Schatzki Listen: pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9h...

I grew up hearing the phrase "liberal media" used in a derogatory way, but I'm excited for the growing sphere of media dedicated to liberalism, and this new publication in particular. Congrats to @aaronrosspowell.com and team!

"Liberalism has, though inconsistently and in fits and starts, been wildly successful. And the illiberal moment is a reaction to that success, and a reaction to the way that liberalism succeeds." Yes, yes, extremely yes. www.liberalism.org/p/liberalism...

Genuinely interested to see what changes this hopes to affect and how liberalism can overcome strongman populism. Best of luck to you all!

Today we launch Liberalism.org, @theihs.org public forum for the liberal tradition — a space where serious thinkers wrestle with the tensions of a free society. Drawing on @theihs.org network of over 7K liberal scholars, we explore how freedom sustains human dignity. Meet the team. 🧵

Get in loser, we're changing liberalism.

Another thing that makes me very excited about @liberalism.org: the lineup of regular writers, whose first essays we'll be rolling out over the next month:

At @liberalism.org, freshly launched this morning, we'll be publishing three new articles every week from the best minds in liberalism today. If you want to get those sent to your inbox, you can subscribe for free here: www.liberalism.org?modal=signup

Today, we're launching Liberalism.org. It's a new digital magazine committed to building an affirmative case for what a free and open society can still become. 🧵

@liberalism.org is doing their big launch today. I have been impressed with the direction of @theihs.org under the leadership of @emilychamleewright.bsky.social over the last several years. Some great folks behind this. Looking forward to engaging with them!

I am thrilled to share that I've joined the newly-launched @liberalism.org as a 2026 contributing fellow, alongside a phenomenal group of writers. Give them a follow on here and subscribe.

Today, our friends at @theihs.org have launched their wonderful new magazine: @liberalism.org. Please give it a read—and them a follow!

I know there are parts of Bluesky that hate the term, but I think liberalism is grand, and not just worth defending, but worth viewing at the best way to a better future for everyone. That’s why my team and I at @theihs.org have launched @liberalism.org. And here’s what I mean by “liberalism”:

We're live! @liberalism.org is a new journal of ideas from @theihs.org. Today we kick off with an essay from @emilychamleewright.bsky.social, who writes: "The opportunity to build a liberal future is real, but that future will not build itself."

Liberalism is both under threat and at a turning point. It must be argued for, refined, and renewed. Today, we begin the work.

Human flourishing begins with freedom. Liberalism.org - 3/12/26
