Very pleased to announce the publication of "racial capitalism and the propaganda of conservative economics" in the Journal of Black Studies, with Twitter refugee Prentiss Dantzler https://t.co/uxj9pP41wg

This may be the worst opposition party in history. Please hand the reins over to @ChrisVanHollen and @RoKhanna who have demonstrated an understanding of the moment and how to fight.

@hecubian_devil There’s an easy solution: instead of espousing yimbyism, espouse building public housing.

The absolute lowest-hanging fruit in domestic policy is just "make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy again, like they were before 1998".

Folks like Neera Tanden, Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, etc got the Democratic Party they wanted — a party that stands for nothing other than satisfying the fluctuating whims of donors & media elites. That party created conditions for Trump’s ascent. They are not the people who will

The genocidal apartheid regime is once again raining down bombs across Gaza and calling it a “ceasefire.” They will never stop until there’s a total arms embargo and economic sanctions. The U.S. must stop the genocide.

Very hard to see the path forward when national Democrats are so dug into the belief that they cannot fail, they can only be failed.

You have blood on your hands. You will go down in history as complicit in genocide. That you aren’t hauled in front of The Hague is a miscarriage of justice. That you are allowed in polite society is an abomination. You are a war criminal and that cannot be undone.

More than 70% of Democrats think Israel is committing genocide and 75% support sanctions. Pro Israel ideologues like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries can not be party leaders. It's over.

New(ish) book. Second edition. https://t.co/Py0u41FjUi

The DNC voted down a resolution this week in support of an arms embargo. Enabling genocide is alienating the majority of democrats who want the funding of war crimes to stop. Wake the fuck up!

* How do crises impact policy debate? * I'm thrilled to share my new article w/ @acomandon & Andrew Messamore in Urban Affairs Review! We examine 12.7m tweets about rental housing to show COVID-19 shifted debate to greater gov. intervention & tenant protections. #HousingTwitter

Silicon Valley doesn’t “predict” the future. It picks the one it wants and then pours billions of dollars into making it happen. So when they say "AI will replace us", that’s not a helpful warning. It’s their business plan.

Spotted in the wild: The Last House on the Block (preprint!) + one early critical reviewer 🐈‍⬛. Book drops Nov 11. Tour stops so far: Detroit, DC, NYC. Planning a housing event for late 2025 or early 2026? Let’s talk! https://t.co/N6WvaMOpBw #HousingPolicy #UrbanStudies

You will not want to miss the keynote addresses of foundational and impactful Du Bois scholars Shaun L. Gabbidon, Karida Brown, Kalasia Ojeh, Earl Wright II, and William Darity. Other notable Du Bois and Atlanta Sociological Laboratory scholars will present their work as well 2/3

Mamdani's primary win has shown that a wide array of otherwise respectable Americans believe that anything to the left of Bill Clinton is- at once- socialism, Trotskyism, social democracy, communism, and Islamism.

It's so weird. Dems keep breaking talking records, but we all keep losing our rights, money, benefits, and care.

Maybe if Democrats spent weeks leading a mobilization effort against the bill -- a national strategy with rallies in key districts -- instead of having meltdowns about Zohran, I'd be a bit more enthusiastic about Jeffries's grand plan to... delay the vote until the afternoon.

I HATE YOURE FUCKING GUTS YOU WEAK-ASS FECKLESS ASS DIPSHITS. YOUR LEGACY WILL MEAN NOTHING. YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING AND THEN HAVE THE NERVE TO SEND PEOPLE IN A COST OF LIVING CRISIS ENDLESS FUCKING FUNDRAISING EMAILS AND TEXTS —FOR THIS?!?!?!

In this piece we argue that conservative economics plays a role similar to how DuBois described the Dunning School of History in Black Reconstruction. Both use their authority to insist that capitalism is racially fair in deliberate, effective ways.
