It is fascinating to watch the battle lines continually forming and reforming on America’s college campuses. At the moment, all eyes are on Evergreen State — one of, if not the most liberal publicly funded colleges in the US. Located an hour’s drive from Tacoma, it is a small state-funded school, with a majority White […]
The French have a term for it, L’esprit de l’escalier, or “staircase wit.” It means bright and witty sayings thought of too late as one is exiting a party.

Slugs are remarkably resilient creatures. If a snail falls from height onto a hard surface, it might well crack its shell and perish. A slug falling the same distance will absorb the impact in its springy flesh and slither away unharmed, eye-stalks jauntily re-extended. A Fraudster Bounces Back Did Denis “The Slug” MacShane draw inspiration […]
Here is Justin Murphy describing his background, research, and activism: Why is there not more rebellion against status quo institutions? How have economic and political processes pacified our capacity for radical collective action? As a political scientist, I am interested in the roles played by information, communication, and ideology in the pacification of political resistance […]
Many in our movement are often heard complaining on podcasts and in the comments sections of too much talk, but no action.
