My latest in @newyorker.com, featuring an interview with @jmalbares.bsky.social, Spain's foreign minister: “Sometimes I see people saying, ‘Well, there is an old order, and there is a new order.' No, there is a rules-based order, or there is the chaos of war, and that’s a choice."

Protest is how ordinary people change history. #TheProtestBook by Annie Leonard & Andre Carothers shares 42 stories of movements that reshaped the world. If you believe dissent strengthens democracy, this book is for you. I was honored to write the forward for it. www.theprotestbook.com

There is a huge shift in climate politics happening RIGHT NOW in Santa Marta, Colombia. Countries are meeting to discuss a treaty to phase out fossil fuels -- the one issue that #UNFCCC has studiously avoided for 30 years. 🧵

Mamdani is framing his still-fresh tenure not only as a measure of his ability to govern but as a sign that the ideology of democratic socialism can work in practice, not just in theory. https://bit.ly/4vAJyJx

I fully agree with Trump on this assessment below although we have different countries in mind. In Spain a recent poll from @elpais.com showcases how most of the Spanish public shared my reading TRUMP: You know what's a war crime? Allowing a sick country w/demented leaders to have a nuclear weapon

"That this sounds strange and disquieting does not mean it is not happening." Gift link to Ezra Klein's thoughtful and eye-opening piece. As a non-user agnostic about agentic AI's capabilities, I now assume it will have an impact that rhymes with that of the internet, email, social media etc. 1/2

“The fact that organized protest can break the spiral of silence, and correct our impressions of what other Americans think, is one of the most immediate and important values of protesting in the first place. Scientists have [shown] protests update our impressions of what other citizens believe.”

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.

In this new reality, the EU must defend the rules-based international order. Violations of international law must not be accepted, human rights violations must not be tolerated. Freedom and human rights cannot be achieved through bombs. Only international law upholds them.
