I really enjoyed this conversation; it’s worth a listen.

I would add a fourth category to @perrybaconjr.bsky.social reasons institutions are compromising so fast —many people and institutions value elite status as much or more than abstract principles. And so compromising to hang on to elite status and income is a no-brainer.

United Farm Workers President Teresa Romero - Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.

Who’s the UN expert here who can remind us the history of U.S. administrations threatening/denying UNGA visas? x.com/oknox/status...

Time to think about the relationship between US fiscal policy and global engagement. 3 upcoming deadlines throw this into sharp relief. You remember that the tariff pause is ending; the review of all US participation in intl orgs/treaties? and the debt ceiling? www.chathamhouse.org/2025/07/thre...

I really want someone to cross-reference this techno-authoritarianism with the 'renegotiate globalism at the point of a tariff' agenda. Or maybe I need to write that myself?

I promised my friend @rpplan.bsky.social that I would activate my account here to share my thoughts about the larger economic, political and global aspirations behind the tariffs, written for @chathamhouse.org www.chathamhouse.org/2025/04/trum...
