Aside from having to record it in my overheated closet, this was a really fun interview with Andrew Keen. Appreciated the hard questions--like whether there can be a science of social change--and occasional pushback.

Chicagoland Friends! Two weeks from today I'll be in town at The Seminary Coop to talk about social change and my new book. It would be great to see you! It's from 4-5pm Thursday 10/16, and I will probably be thirsty afterwards.

The Dems’ shutdown strategy is a microcosm of the party’s struggle to figure out how to resist MAGA authoritarianism. @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social analysis here is spot on.

Logrolling trigger warning: he makes excellent use of @madva.bsky.social, @dryan149.bsky.social, and my recent research. 🧵
The Democrats’ shutdown strategy is terrible. Here’s a better one.
Talk less about health care, more about authoritarianism.

"One way to recruit people, despite a lack of immediate prospects, is a tactic called 'losing loudly': making a spectacle of a battle they know they can’t win, one that motivates others to take action."

In their recent book, Brownstein, Madva, and Kelly argue that people don’t necessarily join causes because they think they’re going to win in the short term … yet their decision to participate during a seemingly hopeless period creates the conditions for ultimate victory
