The Democratic establishment will learn NOTHING from this, but the one thing Mamdani showed us is that we don’t fucking need them.

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

Powerful essay from late actor Robert Redford on the militarization of Jeju Island in South Korea. Maybe his writing in 2012 can open more eyes to this tragedy. RIP to a great man. 🌺

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
