thought i might resurface this one in light of the khelif/carini controversy: "Misogyny intervenes in the social construction of sports to maintain a singular goal: "the woman with the gold medal should be white, femme, and slower than the men.""

MAGA fascists believe that they can tear up American democracy at the roots and after we'll all have to fall in line "because it's the law." But their act of constitutional arson is our opportunity for American Reconstruction. This is how we get there.

My new piece on the Nordic model, it's strengths and weaknesses.
“Ostberg’s book is admiring but critical of Swedish progressivism and social democracy generally, which he observed ultimately faltered and then gave way when neoliberalism came knocking in the 1980s and 90s.” liberalcurrents.com/the-succ…

we can call it capitalism or liberalism or modernity or The West or whatever we like. it doesn't really matter what the word is, what we want to understand is what is new and distinctive about this form of social organization

i come not to bury police abolition but to praise it. the hard truth is that the george floyd protests failed. if want to do better next time, we need to take a hard look in the mirror and understand why.

"MAGA culture critics talk about extolling America’s civic heritage. Yet Trump has done nothing but obliterate America’s democratic norms...draping its institutions in the gaudy decor of his authoritarian narcissism."
Good @aselrod on the culture of MAGA

"If New York City is meant to be seen as a beacon of liberty, we need to become a City of Yes. Yes to people, yes to housing, and yes to accepting the inevitability of change."

"Putin justified his war in Ukraine by appealing to history as he understands it... I believe he chose not to describe the early-modern period in Central Europe precisely because it is an obsession for him." liberalcurrents.com/the-hist…

Good review of Alan Kahan on liberalism and the credibility of liberal perfectionism @MattSleat liberalcurrents.com/kahan-re…

Dworkin embodied the kind of gentlemanly liberal temperament so desperately needed today to successfully advance arguments in the public sphere. As @MattPolProf points out, he was also serious about ‘natural’ law. liberalcurrents.com/reintrod…

“But rather like his contemporary Rawls, the irony of Dworkin’s life is that his legal philosophy was never better implemented than shortly before the publication of his first major book” liberalcurrents.com/reintrod…

Interesting @aselrod meditation on "the degradation of American evangelicalism in the Trumpian era," which is producing "an idolatrous form of Christian nationalism that is now being forged into a cult-like worship of Trump alone."
