I am *so* excited for this book!!! Finally, shipping 12/1. Laura isn’t on social media so I have assumed the PR role — buy this book! I’ve been reading these stories for years and it’s the most compelling political science stuff I’ve ever read. Also Laura painted the cover art!

Y’all I have *a lot* of ideas on how to build up civil discourse from the level of community discussions on public problems and I think my ideas could be super useful! But scaling up requires (a lot of) resources, and those resources need to be nonpartisan or at least copartisan.
I should write more on what I’m about to say rather than flaring off at pundits — but this whole discourse keeps reducing a structural problem to liberals’ individual choices.

For a period of time in the early 2010s my friends described me as “good at concerts” so I have a lot. But mostly the afterparties. Penny Lane in the PBR&B era.

People on this site spend so much time talking about messaging and the thing is messaging has absolutely nothing to do with why we are here, it's the complete absence of any platforms to put messaging or information on.
The failure of the elite has helped to drown out the story of 2025, which is the story of one of the most visible and persistent resistance movements since the Iraq War, at least.
