few people provide as much clarity on the current moment as @melindacooper.bsky.social—to say that this (and part one) is essential listening would be an understatement

Daniel Denvir's book on immigration explains that Ds have spent decades trying to get to the right of Rs on immigration, with the result that support for immigration has cratered and everyone thinks there's a crisis.

Ezra Klein explains why he is against the “oppositional” approach of Dems. One example he gives is blatantly false: immigration.

But more important: Klein shows how folks like him almost always casually throw vulnerable people under the bus in the name of “practicality.”
What happens is Trump then wins, which is taken as truly shocking, and the Democratic Party begins to take on the opposite positions of Trump in many ways. Trump is the most anti-immigrant President of our lifetime— not just in his desire to build a wall but emotionally anti-immigrant. The Democratic Party becomes much more pro-immigrant. If you're going to build a wall, we're going to debate legalizing, decriminalizing, illegal border crossing.

Två år gammalt avsnitt av The Dig. Men var verkligen ögonöppnare för mig om Hamas historia och hur de realpolitiskt styrt Gaza.

I övrigt har jag knappt under två års tid läst eller hört något som förklarat Hamas som politiskt fenomen. Inte bara polemiserat.

A great listen on asset capitalism and its connections to neoliberalism and both MAGA elites and the MAGA base. Reminded me of @patrickwyman.bsky.social's analysis on the landed gentry that holds local power in much of America, with the sharp analytical/historical edge that the Dig usually brings.

Excellent stuff as always from the Dig. Lots of interesting points made, one of which is that class analysis in the US, w/c ascribes 'working class' identity to lack of college education is 50 years old and needs updating. And of course a gendered analysis as can be expected from Melinda Cooper.

"freedom to issue debt is not the same thing as unconditional freedom to spend [...] Congress can only keep spending as long as its spending doesn't empower labour [...]. You can spend as much as you like as long as it's subsidizing the inflation of asset prices, not the inflation of wages." (47:30)
