There is no shortage of courage in our country right now. It is just unevenly distributed. I appreciate @us.theguardian.com for publishing my piece exploring the tremendous gap in courage between everyday people and elites—and calling on more elites to stand up. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How repression is born – and how to resist it | Javier Corrales and Daniel Altschuler

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store. If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

Yesterday, Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social appointed more than 400 New Yorkers to 17 Transition Committees — a powerful team that will shape the personnel and policy vision of the incoming administration.

Proud to write this new piece for The Guardian with the ever-astute @javiercorrales.bsky.social. We offer a way to think about the descent into government repression — and how people can effectively resist it. Comments welcome! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For those seeking to make sense of this moment and how we can collectively get through it, I'd strongly recommend Freedom Together President Deepak Bhargava's incisive essay in @us.theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
