In our latest, @berlantbro.bsky.social joins us to discuss how liberals dismiss protest as merely “performative”—youthful, “inauthentic,” or “cringe”—and how allegations of performativity try to turn the act of politics into a problem of optics and manners www.patreon.com/posts/107278...

“There is still much work to be done. But if you ever stopped masking, there has rarely been a better time to start again. Mask up and show your solidarity. Eric Adams will hate it.” Thank you @reallandsend.bsky.social and @avierkant.bsky.social ❤️

In our latest, we look at the rise of anti-mask legislation in New York and North Carolina: how North Carolina managed to make its mask ban worse, why New York Democrats are trying the same thing, and how the rise of bans is an attempt to break solidarity on.soundcloud.com/NsanmB2VyH8f...

talking with Death Panel folks in these moments (and phew we've been weathering a lot of them) is so clarifying—I hope this conversation helps you, too!
Always so wonderful to talk to @melissagiragrant.com especially so when I’m feeling thoroughly demoralized by constant exposure to cynical campaign ads in this election cycle.
