So excited to have this book on my hands. Thanks to @prorogers.bsky.social and Christia Mercer and their wonderful work editing the Oxford Nee Histories of Philosophy series. We also have another volume of his writings on the way!

Wondering…how would a vibrant and active labor movement change this moment?

Trump Administration Demands States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b... | Sick and disgusting

I am still processing last night elections. The turnout was simply amazing. Black voters, Latino voters, white voters—Americans made it clear that they understand the stakes of this political moment. I think something more seismic is happening. I just don’t have the language for it just yet.

Trump Considers Overhaul of Refugee System That Would Favor White People www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Calloused hearts. Trump and his people don’t give a damn about ordinary people. They only use their hatreds for their own selfish ends.

Speak the truth! @marcelias.bsky.social

Just for clarity (I just did a segment on MSNBC), I did not believe Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize either. How could he? With his drone policy…

I keep asking myself where is the art for this moment. What is the soundtrack for our time?

Republicans are lying, because they are banking on this: that large swaths of the country will deny themselves healthcare because they don’t want undocumented people to have it. Speaks volumes.

Republicans want Democrats to spend their time responding to their lies. Just say they are pathological liars. And then turn to what they are actually doing. They are snatching away the healthcare of ordinary Americans. These people are freedom snatchers!

Democrats need a full court press during the shutdown. Spend money on commercials and ads in print media. Town halls on YouTube. Reels on Instagram. Information about what Republicans are doing across platforms that will touch Trump’s base. Don’t fight on your heels. Get on your toes.

“Noncooperation with evil is as much of a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I know I wavered a bit in my last weekly wrap up. But I am clear now. Democrats cannot roll over to avoid a shutdown. Trump and Republicans are trying to destroy the ACA. Hospitals will close. Premiums will increase. People will be left uninsured. Hold the line. No healthcare. No vote!

Tell the truth @velshi.com

I find it strange that some folks still want to play the game by the old rules when Trump and MAGA have flipped over the damn table. A vision at scale is needed to counter what these people are doing to this country

“In this generation the children of darkness are still shrewder than the children of light.” -Dr. Marin Luther King channeling his Neibuhr

Reading Dr. King’s book, Where Do We Go From Here?, for class. I keep thinking to myself as I read: why don’t we have a systematic treatment of the kind of just society we want that matches the scale of Project 2025.
