1. I respect Ben for always acknowledging the mistakes the Obama admin made in Libya when he talks about FP stuff in the ME. He always makes it a point to say “learn from our mistake”
2. He says something very rarely said here—we keep doing this to brown & black countries

since reading her book a few years ago, i think
about Priya Parker’s work nearly once a week. an instruction manual that goes far beyond antidotes for your social life—it’s about our political and spiritual lives too.
this episode with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social made my heart and brain light up.
Really great chat about the importance of “other” in our lives. We need to hang out with friends, others, share space more - for our overall health. That’s what bump n grind is about.

I’ve listened to a lot of Ezra Klein, but his recent conversation with Priya Parker might be one of his very best. It’s about something we almost never treat as political, even though it’s the core of politics: how we gather, host and live together. The very nucleus of politics.
This episode is such a relief from the relentless news cycle but also incredibly timely because it reaffirms the power of real-world human interactions and teaches us how to train that muscle

Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

“The world is built on relationships, not leverage, and relationships are built on reciprocity and respect. It is not Trump’s genius to recognize America’s unused strength; it is his blindness to see that our strength was a function of our restraint.”

Really enjoyed this. Will share will my Mormon friends who I know struggle w/Trumpism but see the left as antithetical to religion. I think Talarico threads an interesting needle. Texas will be an interesting test case, if he gets thru the primary

President Trump flipping off an autoworker is just the latest insult after a long line of broken promises to American workers and manufacturing communities.

“What is to you the ‘rage economy’?”
@jamestalarico.bsky.social: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks....They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection.
And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”
This was SO good. If you have a moment, please listen.
