Meet the man who built RFK Jr.’s kitchen cabinet Jeffrey Tucker, who elevated Covid contrarians now working for the health secretary, is building support for Kennedy’s Make America Healthy Again agenda.

I was interviewed for (though not mentioned in) the below Politico piece. I talked about how Jeff Tucker weaponized status and rhetoric to harass young women and grift people. Somehow he's more influential than ever. We mustn't let these people get away with it.

“a mental object i.e. mobject”

Found this today thumbing through one of Jeff Riggenbach’s books.

Mau finally discovers self-reflection.

Last weekend, Kelly and I drove 7 hours (both ways) and waited in line for 13 hours (5 in the rain) to see Halsey on her second tour of the year. It was a magical time that evoked in me contemplation and gratitude. Here's a write-up of the whole experience (and some pics/video)!

But hey, at least my replies aren't filled with antisemitism.

This is now my most popular social media post (and piece of writing more generally, I assume) of all time, replacing an old tweet thread about Batman Returns. The amount of people not getting the sarcasm ("that's happening now!") or missing the point ("that's not socialism!") is unfortunate.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Of course I'm worried about antisemitism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani uses his platform to call Jews "shylocks," accuse Jews of disloyalty, spread conspiracies about "globalist" holocaust survivors, and say he only wants "short guys that wear yarmulkes" counting his money.

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

this guy rules

You may not like it, but this is what peak bibliographical performance looks like.

Unfortunately no.

I was gifted the slickest looking book from Martin Jacobson at Markets & Society. Very excited to dig in!

Some great food and even greater company at Markets & Society.

Some of my favorite presentations from Markets & Society:

@nathanpgoodman.bsky.social - Border Militarization

Alex Craig - Community in the Episcopal Church

Martin Jacobson - Free Market Economic Democracy

Billy Christmas - Against the Public Ownership Conception of Common Property

Between No Kings and Markets & Society, this weekend was a nice reminder that there are still people who believe in freedom in this country.

I showed Roderick Long Bo Burnham's "Welcome to the Internet" the last time we were together and this weekend he kept leaning over during panels and whisper-singing into my ear "Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids."

Very interesting discussion by @corymassimino.bsky.social arguing liberal socialism should be left-anarchist. Worth pondering.

Here’s my talk from yesterday:

Giving a talk on anarchism tomorrow right outside DC and at the same time as the No Kings protest. Something, something… diversity of tactics?

Or did Cato leave you?

I'm honored and humbled to be presenting alongside these folks this weekend. Please, come say hello if you're at the conference!
