Took about 20 years. And I never thought a book about enslavers using deputization to give themselves policing power would be relevant to our times. But we are where we are. My book, White Power: Policing American Slavery, is now available for preorder. a.co/d/29c7EIP

What are you reading this weekend?

I know it's frustrating in moments of crisis but St. Jane remains correct: there are no shortcuts. You need to build power before you can wield it. There are fights you can pick and lives you can save as you go but if you skip ahead beyond your capacity then the effort and its people won't survive.

One of the fundamental differences between the Democratic and Republican parties is that the Republican Party tends to organize with a long-term perspective in mind; their wins might not be immediate, but they are often strategically positioned to yield significant impact over time.

In light of the DC Council's upcoming DC Water hearing, I'm joining Campaign for Lead Free DC to offer a training on how to testify on Sat, Feb 15, 3-3:45pm. The DC Council's public information about how to testify is woefully inadequate & convoluted. I'll make it plain + useful. Reach out for Zoom.

What lessons does the history of electrification hold for the fight for public power today? Learn more at our next Night School. actionnetwork.org/events/democ...

Just recently submitted my manuscript for POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT. It's a retelling of the civil rights movement through its overlooked work against police violence—and the police who attacked the movement with surveillance, infiltration, and retaliatory prosecutions. Publication next fall!

The bars would be kinder if they were made by a worker’s co-op.
