if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

they’ve been gunning for the new deal since the late 1940s at least. they’ve been gunning for the successes of the civil rights movement since it happened. even the mass deportations are at this point the culmination of a decade + of political maneuvering. they aren’t gonna half ass any of it
a point i made a number of times in the lead up to roe v wade being overturned is that conservatives had spent 50 years building up this institutional power and so there was no way they decline to use it once they had it. i think a useful perspective for everything happening right now

I saw a TikTok from @abbierichards.bsky.social describing this feeling as “amorphous grief for the suffering of the entire world and all the better futures that could have been” and holy shit that quote’s been rattling around my brain ever since.

New piece.
A long deep dive piece into the reasons beyond the punditry and headlines as to why Harris and Democrats as a whole failed in 2024.
I firmly believe this is about far more existential, psychological, and structural reasons than it has been depicted as. Here’s why.

Neoliberal capitalism conditioned people to focus solely on work, resulting in a crisis of identity, a crisis of isolation, and a loneliness crisis.
MAGA is a faux-populist cult designed to offer people a simulation of purpose and belonging with shared gestures, phrases, and ideological orthodoxy.

In case you're STILL confused about mafia enabler Merrick Garland, please read this article. I wrote it in 2023. It is not a response to current events. It explains why the these events would happen unless good people intervened -- which they did not. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

The correct lesson from 2024 is that we are entering the open authoritarian stage of neoliberal capitalism.
It’s infected everything and left the political class either unwilling or unable to present an alternative. It happens. Now it’s on us to save ourselves. And we will.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
