Exactly right. The success of liberalism simply requires that liberals provide—and implement—solutions that improve people's lives. This is how we win. Thankfully, liberalism does offer real solutions, while most ideological alternatives can only offer scapegoats.

Tech mogul and Trump advocate Marc Andresson claims that introspection was "manufactured in the 1910s or 1920s." If I didn't think Andresson was a psychopath before, I'm starting to think it's possible now.

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.

The far-right paleo trads over on X have found @liberalism.org and are apparently raging about it. So here's my director's introduction essay for the site, which talks about why far-right paleo trads hate liberalism, and why their hate is a reason for liberals to liberal harder.

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

Hegseth: "No quarter, no mercy, for our enemies." Whether or not Hegseth even knows what he's saying, "no quarter" means executing soldiers who try to surrender. It's been a war crime for over a century. This is the world MAGA wants to bring back.

Liberals took this from you.

Fukuyama: "The world has become a very dangerous place, because the most powerful country is under the control of a 10 year old boy..." Frank isn't holding back. And we're all here for it.

MAGA understanding basic supply and demand challenge (impossible)

No administration in modern history has been more hostile to the First Amendment than Trump's.

If you're not following @landryayres.bsky.social, you should be.

Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame]. It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration." It's a shame this is where we are as a country.

Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.

Liberalism.org - Marginal REVOLUTION

My team at @liberalism.org is rad. Our inaugural group of Liberalism Fellows, who will each contribute regularly to the site, is rad. Today's a day I've been looking forward to for a long time.

Incredibly excited to be working alongside such a powerhouse team of staffers and contributors. You can check out all of the primary contributors to @liberalism.org in this thread. 👇

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!

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...

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. 🧵

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 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."

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Tariffs are inflationary. Energy crises are inflationary. Central banks arbitrarily dropping rates is inflationary. Everything Trump wants is inflationary. And with high inflation, the people who win are those who own assets. Are you starting to understand yet?

This is happening all over the country this week. I'm incredibly grateful for every member of MAGA who have finally decided that enough is enough.

Congratulations to James Talarico who, by all accounts, is on track to be nominated in a race where he will likely run against Ken Paxton. We're one step closer to manifesting this 2026 Senate map.

Pouring one out for Dan Crenshaw. Soon, he will no longer walk the halls of Congress, but he'll forever live rent-free in our hearts. In his honor, let's revisit one of his finest contributions to American democracy: his 2020 reelection ad.

12% of the vote in and betting markets are consolidating around a Talarico victory in the Texas Democratic Primary.

Reagan appointed judge: "If nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia." Genuine conservatives within the judiciary stand as one of the final bulwarks against authoritarian rule in America.

MAGA Rep Luna: “The bombing of Iran is not a war. It's a strategic strike.” Putin: “The attack on Ukraine is not a war. It's a special military operation.” As I've said many times, the Putinization of America continues.

We are being governed by actual psychopaths.

Dude what

We had elections during the Civil War. Trump has no mechanism to delay, postpone, or suspend elections—legally or otherwise. Accountability is coming. And there's nothing that can be done to stop it.

So, Republican Benghazi. Got it.

James Talarico asks a very simple and straightforward question: “Can you name a school where it has been confirmed that students are using litter boxes?” Just watch how the Republican lawmaker squirms.

Wars can only be declared by Congress. Taxes can only be levied by Congress. Spending can only be appropriated by Congress. Laws can only be passed by Congress. Any President who refuses to work with Congress is an enemy of the Constitution and the rule of law.

MAGA called me pro-war for saying we should give Ukraine weapons to help them defend their sovereignty. This morning, they're cheering as America bombs Iran. They stand for nothing. Nothing whatsoever.

He's not perfect, but he will: ❌ Release the Epstein files ❌ Champion capitalism & private property ❌ Keep taxes low ❌ Appoint qualified cabinet members ❌ End the surveillance state ❌ End regime change wars Seriously MAGA, which promises are you still clinging to?

I don't care about the productivity gains or efficiency. I don't care whether they're cutting-edge. American values matter and OpenAI clearly rejects them. I'm ending my personal subscription and my orgs' enterprise subscriptions. OpenAI will never receive another cent from me.

We should take Iran State Media with a grain of salt. Regardless, there's no scenario where an unjustified mass mobilization campaign for regime change doesn't end in realities like this. The Putinization of America continues.

The scope of what's happening this morning remains unclear, but understand this: A regime change operation in Iran would require prolonged boots on the ground, a sustained air campaign, and a level of resource mobilization America hasn't seen since the Iraq invasion. /1

“Wokeism“ (2026)

This is negligent homicide. We demand justice for Shah Alam and his family. He was nearly blind, and they left him five miles from his home, forced to try to walk home alone in the dark and the freezing cold.

Nic Carter is an immigrant and naturalized citizen who, by his own account, wants America to be more like Communist China. It turns out there are a few immigrants who openly reject our traditions, our values, and our way of life. And, overwhelmingly, they’re MAGA.

I’m not convinced this endorsement is going to do the Crockett campaign any favors.

That's a whole lot of words to say "we lost."
