If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

There is such a thirst in some progressive centrist circles that they will look at the Trump administration as a model to get things done. I think its worth addressing the argument. This is from Mark Dunkelman, author of the widely praised "Why Nothing Works."

I know we want to look away, sometimes we *need* to look away for at least a bit, just to get by, to try to get through it all.

But sometimes, it's just too horrible to look away. We have to ask ourselves: what we will say, what did we do, where were we, when all this was happening?

Just saw a post on Linked-In that touts the Atlanta Beltline as a model (for other cities) of antidisplacement and confronting "the pressures of gentrification by embedding affordability into the development process from the very beginning."

ABSTRACT The city of Atlanta is well known for its corporate-led white–Black urban regime and the ‘Atlanta Way,’ an approach that neglects the city’s low-income residents. Under Mayor Andre Dickens, the city made some changes in affordable housing policy, including standing up a new social housing developer and implementing a housing trust fund. National media and think tanks have praised the Dickens Administration for these efforts. Because affordable housing is a key component of equitable urban policy and planning, do such efforts signal a ‘beginning of the end’ of the Atlanta Way? Unfortunately, I find that the answer is no. I argue that these somewhat stronger affordable housing efforts do not constitute any sort of paradigm shift. The city has yet to address the undertaxation of commercial real estate, leaving it unable to capture a sufficient share of the growth in land values for more equitable development, and it has failed to devote sufficient resources towards deeply affordable housing for the lowest-income Atlantans. Moreover, the city derailed a referendum on its Cop City project, a major investment in policing favored by corporate interests. In the end, the Atlanta Way still seems to be very much alive.

Northwestern’s Trump deal harms students and faculty by gutting research, abandoning Gaza justice, and giving $75 million to the Trump regime. Throwing your campus under the bus isn’t leadership — it’s cowardice. Hold NU accountable and demand they stand with their community over Trump.
Northwestern settles with Trump administration in $75M deal to regain federal funding
The university will pay $75 million over three years to end the Trump administration's investigations into antisemitism on its campus and to have millions of dollars in federal funding restored.

TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Very interesting Gelman blog suggesting that a good amount of the "Mississippi Miracle" is selection bias (holding back lowest performers, who then don't take the 4th grade test) rather than improved learning

exactly yes - that's our conclusion too. (We have a few other recommendations besides more and better organizing, from listening to people we spoke with - but that's a big part of it.)

Yep. And getting folks to vote, and for their interests, is an *organizing* task, not a Beltway consultancy task. It needs to be done through sustained organizing deeply connected to mutual aid around housing, food, medical care, transportation. Not just, let's drop in, get folks elected, & leave.

Lower-income people are less likely to vote than higher-income people, across racial groups - and that gap has been growing.

That’s a real problem for the future of US democracy.

It’s not apathy or ignorance - for many, it’s a sense that politics is not for or about them.

In a report out in Jan +
Chart with Turnout on the Y axis & election year (2016, 2020, and 2024) on the X axis. 6 lines, 3 for White, Black, and Hispanic in households making over $100k/year, 3 for the same groups in households making under $30k/year. Overall you can see turnout increasing among higher-income people in all three racial groups, and declining (White and Black) or staying flat (Hispanic) among low-income people; the turnout gap by income is much larger in 2024 than in 2020 or 2016. from 2016 -> 2024: - White $100k turnout goes from 65% to 78% while white under $30k turnout goes from 55% to 49% - Black over $100k turnout goes from 51% to 64% while Black under $30k turnout goes from 48% to 33% - Hispanic over $100k turnout goes from 52% to 67% while Hispanic under $30k turnout stays flat at about 36% (higher in 2020 at 42%).
