We conducted this interview before the election, but the insights in this article from @DSchrantz about what it takes to organize a multiracial coalition that can contest for real power feels very more urgent now

Enjoyed listening to @hahrie.bsky.social in conversation with @seanmcarroll.bsky.social.

Great point on teaching people to be adaptive agents that respond to uncertain environments rather than automatons who respond formulaically to scripted scenarios.

Applies to so many situations!

Thanks so much to Sam for such a thoughtful conversation about my book #Undivided. We covered a lot of ground! I'm not sure about his comparison to Putnam, but I am grateful to be able to talk about the lessons from the book for our democracy.

Pairs nicely with @hahrie.bsky.social Tanner Lecture argument that the meaning of collective action emerges in part from its unpredictability, and the emotional and strategic risks it demands that people take. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHQO...

Organizing for Abolition in the Spotlight The hard lessons I learned while I co-led Black Visions in Minneapolis during the 2020 uprisings.

Hammer and Hope just published one of the most mind-blowing, heart-opening convos I've had with an organizer in recent times.

Read these powerful reflections from Kandace Montgomery re: leading Black Visions in Minneapolis before and after George Floyd.

Opinion | Claudine Gay: What Just Happened at Harvard Is Bigger Than Me The demagogues won’t stop with Harvard.

Claudine Gay responds, and she’s spot on:

β€œIt is not lost on me that I make an ideal canvas for projecting every anxiety about the generational and demographic changes unfolding on American campuses: a Black woman selected to lead a storied institution.”

The NY Times and other media that treated Gay's academic misconduct as a national story were an essential part of the right wing campaign to have her removed. Compare how they treated the President of Stanford, who faced much more serious accusations of academic misconduct.
