A perfect top comment on the 43rd anniversary of the US invasion of Grenada

Never a doubt

A future member of Congress still being invested and active in the internal life of DSA is exciting.

The comparisons to post-UDI Rhodesia & Apartheid-era South Africa are too generous to Israel.

What's the progressive case for dual citizenship, of any country? (I qualify for Trinidadian citizenship, but wouldn't vote in multiple polities.)

Damn, who thought Ulbricht was a world-historic figure?

There's no way KCP should be in any contender's rotation in 2026

"I'm upset." The secret weapon every Democratic-aligned PAC is using this fall

Nevermind then

What Israel reductionist Bari Weiss just pulled off in a corporate newsroom is truly impressive. There's pro-Israel struggle sessions going on in the CBS Newsroom -- and it all started from a blog.

Tough to have (October 2026 – October 2026) on a resume

The Republicans had a golden path to a lasting right-of-center majority after Nov '24. Instead, Trump traded a surprisingly wide coalition for economic self-destruction, extremist culture warring, war in the Middle East, and violent immigration policy.

Objectively a great response. But if the price of power is calling Obama your daddy, is the price too high?

Wonderful review of The Blueprint from the scholar William Edmondson. oldermole.substack.com/p/the-blueprint-no-...

Lula is thankfully tightening things in Brazil... I would love to see an expert break this down but the mass mobilizations over the weekend were very impressive too.

"For some [insert group here]," is such a meaningless formulation in a country of 340 million people with different opinions and interests. Resist communalism.

The Ilhan Omar is a test of how far the Trump administration can take state harassment and repression. It (and the relatively muted response to it) is incredibly alarming.

"Anwar Shaikh was a remarkable man and a singular intellectual. We will not see a talent like him for a very long time to come." jacobin.com/2026/10/shaikh-obituary-marxis...

Via @_ericblanc: Shawn Fain and his left-wing slate won decisively in UAW elections. So much for the easy narrative of progressive grad students and conservative autoworkers. Everyone wants the language of class and a fighting union.

Curious what the voters think, but @AbdulElSayed is wiping the floor with Mike Rogers in this debate imo

Speaking at the big @JewishCurrents event this weekend with @hasanthehun and @KeeangaYamahtta. Get your ticket here. jewishcurrents.org/live

Aaron Boone will make a good podcast host

Kautsky's biggest mistake wasn't on imperialism but agriculture imo. His view that large-scale farming was inherently more productive (and that tight correlation between scale & productivity), became Marxist common sense. Bolsheviks like Stalin inherited it and then....

Rewatched this great conversation with Anwar Shaikh this evening. RIP comrade. www.youtube.com/watch

If, when I joined DSA, you'd told me that, in 2026, NYC democratic socialism and the Knicks would be doing much better than the Yankees and Michael Bloomberg would be an irrelevant political figure, I wouldn't have believed you.

Go bald early so you can age gracefully

AI impacting search, traffic down 2.3 percent YoY... time for "In Defense of Taylor Swift"???

Three idiot plays for the Yankees in one inning. Thank God the NBA season is back.

Man City should get relegated to what level the favorite team of my youth, Sheffield Wednesday, plays at

I wrote about one of my favorite bits of left-media history: in the '80s, MoJo editor @MMFlint objected to Paul Berman's Contra quasi-apologetics, Mother Jones fired him for it, he used his wrongful termination settlement cash to fund Roger & Me. jacobin.com/2026/10/how-a-fight-over-the-c...Mostrar mais

My latest essay talks about Zohran's new municipal strategy to combat antisemitism and the relationship between real threats to minorities and moral panics. jacobin.com/2026/10/antisemitism-communal-...

RIP to the Calypso King, the Mighty Sparrow. Musical genius and anti colonialist

"The Necessity of Revolution" I'm in the new @catalyst_theory arguing that conditions make another long period of stable social-democratic advance less likely, meaning any serious socialist politics must move more quickly toward rupture with capitalism. catalyst-journal.com/2026/09/the-necessity...Mostrar mais

This hasn't hit South Asians yet as far as I can tell. There are obviously good reasons in extreme cases to cut off your elders, but it generally seems like a sad byproduct of individualism & therapy culture.

I know this is typical fan bias, but I feel like the Yankees haven't had a good third base coach in my lifetime

The most significant thing The Free Press has been doing since October 7, 2023 is fostering communalism in the United States.

This from Zohran is excellent. And efficiency is a good socialist value. Badly run programs burn state money that could've served better ends. Capitalism wastes resources/time too (health insurance middle men, cheap labor sweated out around the world).

My very long essay on the past, present, and future of social democracy. jacobin.com/2026/09/social-democracy-socia...

Straight from the printers. New edition out in October.

So the Clippers got Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for SGA and 10 first-round picks.

My wife and I just had our first child and I've been buying tons of baby-related items, so naturally my instagram feed is filled with reels celebrating the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus???

Physical copies of The Blueprint are finally here. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790853/th...

Came home from the hospital last week (on the 14th anniversary of meeting my wife) with a beautiful baby boy and a bunch of grandma's cooking.

I hope to spend the rest of my life somewhere between the Hudson/Delaware and the sea

History and culture sustain the left. The memory of our martyrs, the struggles of generations before us: “Then, comrades, let us rally, The last fight let us face; The Internationale Unites the human race.” There is no emancipatory left without them.

It's going to be tough for us to come back from this one...
