  1. It's just astounding how much US presidential politics pivots around racial fears of the white majority… Can a Black woman show she's tough on crime? Will a white male VP reassure people enough to vote for a Black pres? Who's tough on the border? Who backs the war on Gaza?

  2. Pedantic but important reminder (re Harris's speech on Netanyahu): Israeli soldiers killed on active duty on October 7 were belligerents of an occupying army, enforcing a long-term siege, and neither "innocent" nor "massacred" properly applies to them.

  4. By building a complex coalition within the Democratic party, scores of actors convinced Joe Biden to step aside. Among their few shared perspectives: 1. Trump and Trumpism represent a real threat that must be vigorously fought and defeated.

  5. Those of us who followed the Trump administration's child detention and family separation policies closely know that court oversight was the only limit. Biden admin officials argued oversight was now unnecessary. Now it's been curtailed. x.com/misguidedsoul7/status/1814295766342549891

  7. Joe Biden, like Donald Trump and other seniors, are especially vulnerable to COVID. It's mind-boggling that we've kept no procedures for protecting them. Tests should be free; masks routine around the vulnerable; infected workers should have paid sick leave.

  8. A promise to deport millions of long-term residents, of all ages, is morally atrocious. The recruitment of a new security force self-selected to arrest children and elders is a giant step towards autocracy. x.com/jamiedupree/status/1813711760375050462

  9. I devoted my grad school time and after to studying faraway revolutions, my friend Matt Smucker devoted the same time to building winning political coalitions in the USA, and particularly in non-metropolitan Pennsylvania. This is his take: x.com/jonathansmucker/status/1813268504662970554

  14. Trump immunity ruling at SCOTUS and Cannon's Independent Prosecutor dismissal are major moves. Those of us envisioning scenarios for a shift to authoritarianism need to consider the US judiciary as a possible accelerator, rather than a break.

  17. Today would be a great day for the US to disavow drone strikes on all political opponents, and on military opponents in crowds.

  18. The militarization of politics redistributes the balance of power towards the distribution of weapons. Those whose power lies in numbers and solidarity, rather than guns and military training, are not served by this.

  19. Deadly political violence is not rare in the USA. If we are to refuse it, we must do so consistently, whether that violence targets Paul Pelosi, Steve Scalise, or Gabby Giffords; a synagogue, Black Church, or queer nightclub; a politician in the state or an activist against it.

  27. France has spent two decades voting for centrist figures like Joe Biden and Jeb Bush to stave off neo-fascists like Trump. This year, they finally coalesced around a true alternative, a green-red coalition offering real improvements in people's lives.

  36. Background observation: there are a lot of ill-conceived, poorly executed attempted coups. An serious history of, say, Allende's Chile or Hitler's Germany or 20th century Bolivia is littered with them. Failure is the modal outcome of coup attempts.
