The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

When I was 8 or 9 my family lived in Las Vegas. The dirt is arid and cracked like it's a plate dropped from the sky that shattered when it hit the earth. But if you touch it or break it apart it is chalk-fine, it gets into everything, your clothes, your hair, your lungs. 1/16

THREAD. One important chapter in my Copaganda book describes how a small group of pro-police professors corrupted the field of criminology. Somehow, I've been invited to speak at the 2025 American Society of Criminology annual conference this week. Should be interesting...

The problem with "we have no choice but to do this thing Trump and the GOP want because otherwise the government stays shut down" is that there's no limiting principle.

There are wide lanes open for Democratic candidates who believe in something other than neoliberalism and insider trading.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Let's talk about #trade. No, not import, export, deficits, or overproduction. I'm talking ceiling fans, pens, cigarettes, trinkets, and food. I'm talking time, and service, and reputation. This is all trade I've been offered or participated in as a volunteer or worker in social services. 1/10

#Transgendered people don't owe you passability. If you "need" to not know someone is trans in order to treat them as a human worthy of respect, your "respect" is just play-acting regardless of who you show it to. I say this with kindness: look inward, do better.

My friend was 86 years old, not in the best health (who would be?) but not terrible. He died last week. Just… sat down, said he didn't feel very good, and died. Quiet, peaceful, at home. His husband of 50 years laid next him and held his hand for six hours, just acknowledging that he was gone. 1/7
