Today I'm releasing probably the most important scholarly thing I've ever worked on - a report based on talking with 144 people about why they don't vote or only vote regularly, and on what needs to be done to build a democracy that can include everyone.

I suspect part is also a necessity these days. A district judge is at risk of a social media storm (plus threats) when they rule against the admin, so it's in their interest—and the public's—to explain the ruling clearly in non-legal terms, including by showing the stakes via dramatic prose.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.

Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

this is where I think it's legit to say....

I regret to inform you we are going to win.

could take a few years before these kids can go to the polls but they ain't gonna forget

For fuck's sake the "adult content" is the illustration that heads an article by Liberal Currents. More bullshit like this will drive me back to X.

Indeed; reading is fundamental which is why when I look at the bio I wonder if what's asserted there is a bit of "post-truth". The vibes aren't oscillating in harmony.

"When in doubt, draw a distinction."

Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that.

This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one.

I will post them one at a time. Ready?
