Among leftists & fascists alike, children are often reduced to a mere idea. There are plenty who speak on behalf of children without building solidarity with actual children. Even with the most liberationist intentions, this is rooted in adult supremacy. It has to start with kids.

I haven’t read it yet so I don’t want to misspeak but in my heart of hearts I feel and suspect this is the book everyone should be reading instead of Haidt’s “The Anxious Generation”

Wonderful to hear about reading groups on Solidarity with Children forming in different places & especially those focused on reading it with young people! Please let me know if there’s any way you need support in these efforts—this is exactly why I wrote it 💜

i hope you'll read this compelling survey from Sarah Brouillette of the newest work from the always-astute and incisive Madeline Lane-McKinley—it's a tautly reasoned case for affording children greater rights and autonomy, reimagining social institutions that produce suffering and dehumanization.

What an honor to read @sarahbrouillette.bsky.social and her brilliant son Ben unpack some of the ideas of my book together for @proteanmag.com. This was precisely what I hoped to do: spark dialogue between kids and so-called grownups about what solidarity looks like.
