Chappel—
‘Strangely for a book concerned with wealth and power, “Gerontocracy in America” doesn’t have much to say about class… We do not live in a gerontocracy; we live in an oligarchy… Moyn risks giving the wrong impression, fueling the wrong fight.’

I have a new piece out
Reflecting on 20 years of struggles, it goes into what abolish ICE does - and doesn't - mean; merging of immigration enforcement with policing & military power; how fascism is made through bordering; and what the border even is

And of course, @Econ_Marshall has been yelling into the void about this for as long as I’ve known him. There’s a Boston review article he wrote nearly 10 years ago I come back to because he predicted so much of this:

“In Lebanon, we start our days with a deluge of stories and images: buildings targeted, cars struck on highways, families wiped out.. Israel seems to be following the same logic it deployed in Gaza: emptying out entire areas through what amounts to ethnic cleansing.”

this piece by Farah Bakaari is, by far, the most important essay I’ve read so far on the stakes of Somaliland’s political project and the meanings of de jure recognition in a world of sovereign nation-states bostonreview.net/articles/so…

A transcript from last week's Boston Review panel, "Artificial Reason" is now online.
It was an excellent conversation on AI, rationality, violence, and much more.

“We are living through an ugly period, not least in the arena of gender. It seems everyone you talk to has an incel acquaintance, a son obsessed with Andrew Tate, or an aunt with an unhealthy fixation on toilets. Misogyny, not new so much as newly shameless, is all the rage.”

Israel controls every aspect of people’s lives—what we eat, how much we eat, the quality of the water we drink, and the environmental conditions we live in. It decides who receives medical treatment and who dies from lack of it, who can travel and who is besieged, whose home is a tent and who lives under roof, where people can live and when they must evacuate.
