Check out my new piece on Christian Democracy, which ends with a critique of JD Vance and postliberalism.

Born Out of Catastrophe Christian Democratic parties rebuilt Europe after the devastation of World War II. A renewed Christian Democratic tradition could help stop Trumpism and rebuild the United States.

I have an essay in Commonweal on postwar Christian Democracy.

This was an extremely successful political and economic order.

And JD Vance and the postliberals utterly repudiate its values.

A stunning day but I think the UK can be a bit proud of itself tonight - we’ve shown that nobody is above the law (USA look and learn though it may be too late - your justice system is in the hands of your mad King)

Not cowardice. Complicity.

Crypto has only two functions: gambling and crime. Any politician courting this industry should be ashamed.

Again, a mention of Ramadan but not Lent. Strange.

Reminder: it’s lunar new year not Chinese new year (plenty of non-Chinese celebrate).

This is fine. But strange not to mention Lent.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Jesse Jackson was always written off as a left-wing extremist on economics. But he was right all along. He was prophetic.

Economist Intelligence Unit lists it as a flawed democracy. And that’s from 2024 - before the return of Trump.
