As we come to the end of a very difficult year I wanted to say a few words about *some* of the issues that, with your help, I will focus on next year.
At the top of my list:
- Campaign finance reform
- Income & wealth inequality
- The rapid deployment of AI
- Medicare for All

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.
But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.
That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

"It always made me feel less alone." I've heard this said by other MST3K fans, and I think it's just about the most gratifying thing you can hear about something you worked on.
Recently I got to talk to Bill Hader about his love of bad late-night movies and #MST3K in particular. Find out his surprising connection to MITCHELL, and whether he was going to be involved with the most recent incarnation of the show, in this fascinating and very funny Q&A.

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.
Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?
My own colleagues are silent.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

I think the disconnect we’re seeing online is between pundits who are imagining a Charlie Kirk in their heads and professors who have lived for a decade with the (often literal) targets he and his anti-free speech organization placed on their backs.
Weird how when a Trump supporter, white supremacist, and reportedly, a former member of Turning Point USA shot up Florida State University (FSU) several months ago and killed two people - there wasn't the same national conversation about "political violence." www.mediaite.com/news/mass-sh...

The impulse was already there and had been for a while, white nationalism isn’t new. GG caused the creation/expansion of online infrastructure for networking, community building (mainly among young online people) and spreading/testing of tactics and propaganda. But it didn’t invent the fasc wheel.
You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate.
It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.
