A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

NEW: In this short piece (open access!) I describe how ecomodernist visions and "green growth" scenarios rely on fundamentally imperialist assumptions, and have no answer to this problem.

When my parents got married, their marriage was illegal in seven states. That’s how recent this shift is: my (still living) parents could not visit some states for the first four years of their marriage.
In the 1950s, polling on interracial marriage was at 4% approval in the United States. Loving v. Virginia is 1967. We hit an above 50% approval rating for the first time in the 1990s. In 2021, 94% of Americans approved of interracial marriage.
I say this for everyone who thinks that we just have to go along with what the public things: we don’t. The public can change their minds. They have in the past.
We can just do the right thing and then not end up looking like a horrific bigot in a handful of years.

100 days of Trump 2.0 and what do we have? Mass deportations, pardons for insurrectionists, federal purges, economic whiplash, and tariffs choking families.
This ain’t leadership—it’s vengeance in a suit. He’s not rebuilding America, he’s gutting it.

The FOMO I have is unreal⌚️

Nothing in politics is permanent, nor inevitable. “We spent centuries, as a society, building up democratic muscle, and we still have a lot of that muscle left,” the political scientist Steven Levitsky said. “I just keep waiting for someone to use it.”
Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy?
Other countries have watched their democracies slip away gradually, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headed—or where we already are.
