Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

I was interviewed by @reemasabrina.bsky.social about Read This When Things Fall Apart. "Fight for what is sacred to you. And if you don’t know what’s sacred to you yet, I suggest you get out there, amongst other people fighting the good fight, and I suspect you’ll find it."

A care package for activists in crisis - Chicago Reader

Read This When Things Fall Apart, edited by Kelly Hayes, features letters offering hope and advice for activist in crisis.

"But is it possible to find Palpatine saying he's going to become Emperor because he doesn't love democracy? I think that's very hard to find."

Chotiner: Wow. I would just say that I find it very hard to believe, especially with Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, who seem to me to be kind of out-and-out partisan Trump supporters.

Sunstein: This is completely fair to question. Alito is an extremely careful lawyer and a very precise judge. He is clearly taken with a certain view of our culture that is shared by many of Trump's supporters. But is it possible to find an opinion which he says, I'm going to go this way because the President is the law, or anything that verges on that? I think that's very hard to find.

"There are more than 19 million college students in the US. Most are well removed from corridors of wealth+power..43% of undergrads attend community college. 25% live with their parents."

a listicle for everyone, especially for the NYT editors themselves to learn

me last week:

“There was, and is, no external crisis facing the United States. But for reasons of both personality and political ambition, Trump needs a crisis to govern — or rather, to rule. And if the actual conditions of reality will not give him a state of exception, he’ll create one himself.”

FLAG: Trump says he might declare a national emergency to keep National Guard troops in D.C.

"If I have a national emergency, I can keep the troops there as long as I want."
