Here’s the link! I talked with @jonathanbfine.bsky.social about Lessing, the origins of the German Enlightenment and the early bourgeois public sphere, and Hannah Arendt’s reflections on both for “humanity in dark times.” Hope you enjoy!

State and local government have to find ways to protect their citizens against federal violence—now, everywhere, not just in MN. States and jury trial are our best legal instruments against actual fascism now.

Trump adding $500 billion to the military budget should be read as anticipatory military Keynesianism for when the recession arrives and the GenAI bubble inevitably pops. They’re going to be financially locked into military escalation, both at home and abroad.

Yglesias of course will never respond to this but this seems like a perfect case study in his standard practice of laundering the controversial views of supposed centrists as the obvious common sense by studiously ignoring pertinent objections.

A month after October 7, some of the world’s leading Critical Theorists, including Jürgen Habermas and Rainer Forst, issued this statement. Their contributions to political philosophy will now forever be tainted by this singular, catastrophic failure in moral judgment.

We’re all feeling despair, but it’s worth noting that an intelligent authoritarian could easily have gone about this in a way that would provoke less outrage. Trump will instead continue to do what is maximally cruel, dishonest, and illegal, and this makes him vulnerable.

It seems increasingly unlikely that the decisive “constitutional crisis” will arrive. SCOTUS has now effectively ruled 5-4 that “sovereign is he who decides upon the state of exception.” Trump will be granted broad emergency authority to do whatever he wants. 1/5

There is no good reason to argue with fascists. For every atrocity, they will find a rationalization. For every rule, they will invent an exception. It is a shell game that no one should play. The only thing that matters is defeating them.
