Really want to write something about the Mamdani campaign’s use of the close-up + direct address as a way to mediate particularity and identity.

Blue Bonds are something states can do today that goes beyond simply managing and slowing down Trump’s destruction of our democracy.
Enough with blueprints for a deferred future when the Left “takes power” through a presidential election. Take *responsibility* now.

In the latest MOTL article, we argue for “coalition credits” as a tool for durable capacity mobilization and coordination across the Tax the Rich coalition.
