The Case for a Third Reconstruction The scale and depth of the attack on our institutions means that there is no simple way for a pro-democracy coalition to flip the lights back on after Trump. We need transformative thinking. https://t.co/A7bgMp01Bx | @DissentMag

A very thoughtful piece ( as usual) by Aziz Rana on "settler colonialism."

If we dismiss concepts because of particular examples of misuse, we encourage the repression of discomforting histories and ideas.

Rebuilding government decision-making power requires not just removing veto points, but also addressing the outsized corporate power that gives the wealthy the best access to policymakers.

Why is democratic governance now experiencing the most intense challenges since the 1930s? Fred Block argues that we are still trying to govern society with the tools and institutions of an earlier industrial economy. https://t.co/rBTGQJfYMb

Marc J. Dunkelman’s book Why Nothing Works begins with two things everybody loves to hate: Penn Station and Robert Moses. https://t.co/rBTGQJfYMb

Excellent on Why Zohran Mamdani Won "Partyism Without the Party" Zohran Mamdani’s victory was rooted in organizations that took up the base-building and mobilization functions that once fell to parties. https://t.co/p7QB9HHobQ

Marc J. Dunkelman’s Why Nothing Works and Fred Block’s The Habitation Society are each fundamentally concerned with what went so wrong in American politics that a demagogue was able to rise to power—and how we can reverse course.

A great holiday read. 👇
"The sheer physicality of the Mamdani campaign, and the ways it used digital media to bring people together offline, has been underrated," Chris Maisano writes.

The historic turnout surge that swept Muslim and South Asian neighborhoods in the outer boroughs is inseparable from Mamdani’s faith, his cultural fluency, and his outspoken defense of fellow Muslims against the Cuomo campaign’s Islamophobic bigotry.

Mamdani’s unequivocal stances on “non-economic” questions like the genocide in Gaza or the ICE raids terrorizing immigrant communities built trust among precisely the people he needed to join his volunteer army or turn out to vote for the first time.

"Why fill in the hollow parties when you can do much the same thing outside of them?" Not quite sure I buy everything here, but a smart, meaty analysis of Mamdani campaign's civic roots and possibilities.
