@ppfideas.bsky.social I enjoyed the episodes on dignity with David and Lea. One point, though: the postwar emphasis on dignity came less from Kant and more from Catholic personalism, associated with people like Jacques Maritain. I just recorded a podcast on this: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Ok, Laura Segafredo and I recorded our episode on Christian Democracy. The podcast is called Moral Revolution and is on Apple and Spotify. Let me know what you think!

These protections were won because workers stood up, organized and demanded better.
When I write about kids dying from the collapse of USAID, I get reader pushback. "Sad, but why is this our job?" "Let's spend scarce money on needy American kids?" "Just fix the corruption." So in my new column I address these kinds of reader concerns head-on: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it.
What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.
In June of 1877, 10 Irish miners—the Molly Maguires—were hanged to silence their demand for dignity. As a union working-class daughter, I honor their courage. They fought for fair wages and justice underground and above. Their struggle lives on in every worker who still dares to organize—Onward! #1u

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move."

Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change."
Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:
The SS and the Gestapo would do the same - wait outside prisons for people to be released, and then put them in a concentration camp.

"Mr. Khalil was never accused of a crime. Instead, Secretary of State Marco Rubio invoked a rarely cited law from the mid-20th century to deport him on the grounds that he had undermined American foreign policy. The administration argued that he had contributed to the spread of antisemitism through his role in the protests at the university."
In an article on Mahmoud Khalil's release, the NYTimes notes he was detained on the grounds of "a rarely cited law from the mid-20th century." They don't tell you that this law was originally used primarily to deport Eastern European Jews, including Holocaust survivors, as suspected Communists.

Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice.
From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.
