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.

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.
