90% of the media coverage about fracking and the election in PA focuses on white, rural towns and assumes being anti-fracking is a liability. Majority-Black cities like Chester that don't want more polluting infrastructure, rarely get attention. cbsnews.com/news/harris-wa…

90% of Chester residents voted for Biden in 2020. But turnout was only 43% — far behind statewide turnout. Democrats should spend more time thinking about what policies might boost turnout of places like Chester.

Asked us to watch her bike while she ran into the thrift store, then showed off her find. Five bucks. “There’s so much you can do with a jersey!”

Check out my interview with Sasha Abramsky. His new book "Chaos Comes Calling" chronicles the devastation Trumpism inflicts on local communities. Not all bad news! One small town he covered restored common sense government and kicked the MAGA folks out. salon.com/2024/09/03/the…

Every now and then I push back on the idea that the NYT is top to bottom engaged in a pro-Trump conspiracy. I get called an apologist (which, if you know my history…) It’s not a conspiracy. It’s *worse.* Conspiracies are a lot easier to fix than broken paradigms.

My man Sasha Abramsky has a new book out: "Chaos Comes Calling" that's fundamentally about how MAGA has been building their authoritarian army at the grassroots level. I've already read it, but you should too. :) amazon.com/Chaos-Comes-Ca…

Pub day! My two cents: Too many books on the Trumpocene stick to the national scene. Sasha Abramsky goes very local to show how toxic politics trickle down into everyday lives. There are real people in this intimately reported book, real consequences--and also real hope.

This is tortured language, ⁦The New York Times⁩, an unintentional satire of “balance.” He was recorded making racist statements. That’s a fact. Your phrasing is misleading.

X tagged this as offensive content. I agree Georgia’s grotesque absence of such a law is offensive. But I don’t think that’s what X means.

"The Right’s Israel critics care little for Palestinian freedom [but] are fixated on antisemitic fantasies of nefarious Jewish cabals & are exploiting Israel's genocidal war to move these narratives mainstream" Timely piece by Ben Lorber In These Times inthesetimes.com/article/democr…
