"How did the vice president of the United States end up doing campaign work for a Hungarian strongman five days before an election? The answer runs through the most dangerous intellectual movement in American (and world) politics: postliberalism."

Thrilled to release this conversation with Sam on his excellent book, Dispersion of Power, on using democracy to guard against state capture. A topic that has only become even more pertinent since we recorded it and is not going away any time soon!
Today’s latest Virtual Sentiments episode is with @samuel-bagg.bsky.social on his excellent book on how democracy helps us fight state capture. I’ve posted the episode and some updated thoughts talking about the DOW vs Anthropic contract dispute at my Substack

“If you oppose mass incarceration, you should oppose empire. If you oppose imperialism & militarism, you should oppose the prison state. Empire & incarceration are two related institutions of brutal state violence, & they are mutually reinforcing.” @nathanpgoodman.bsky.social @c4ssdotorg.bsky.social
Just switched my @libro.fm and @bookshop.org over to Firestorm and I encourage you to do the same because they’re hands down the best bookstore in the Southeast. 📚🏴

Hey y'all, Firestorm co-op is a really important part of our communities here in Asheville, and they're struggling.
Order books through them (they have a really wide selection)!
A cool indie bookshop in trouble, and even if you don’t feel like buying a book just now they have lots of zines and stickers you can buy to support them!
🧵 from a queer, feminist collective & bookstore in Asheville, NC struggling long after Hurricane Helene.
A collective photo taken at Firestorm Books. Our team, including five humans and two dogs, is sitting on the sidewalk in front of the building looking relaxed. The sky is bright but cloudy and flags on the building hang without any indication of wind. The building is painted forest green and various posters and signs are visible in the windows, which reflect the sky. The largest reads "Immigrants Welcome."
Like a lot of small businesses in our region, Firestorm has been in financial distress for the last year. Hurricane Helene was our tipping point, but local cost of living increases, inflation, and higher occupancy costs are huge contributors. 1/9
What You Can Do!: If Firestorm surviving and thriving is important to you, we welcome your support. Here are a few ways to pitch in.
🌈 Buy your next book from us, or tell someone who buys books about us! Not a physical media person? We also sell audiobooks through Libro.fm. 7/9
I think anyone and everyone who’s worked at a think tank has read this Onion article more times than they can count in the years since it was published, and each time has, as the kids say, felt seen. theonion.com/boy-i-really-t…

If you cast your lot with any authoritarian project, this is the inevitable outcome. For despots, every single living thing is disposable. Not only the Trump regime, but all hierarchical systems.
Let's not be complicit with a political order that is reducing everyone and everything to garbage.

“[The Liberal] starts from the premise that not war, but peace, is the father of all things, (…) The liberal abhors war, not, like the humanitarian, in spite of the fact that it has beneficial consequences, but because it has only harmful ones”.

New episode of Mutual Exchange Radio for @c4ssdotorg.bsky.social with @aaronrosspowell.com on Buddhism and Libertarianism
Why does @democracynow.org keep inviting on guests who support legislation that would get trans people killed and probably lead to Democracy Now itself getting censored off the Internet? How is this acceptable?
“The most important insight in the liberal tradition is that by spreading power out you can mitigate its harmful effects.”
