    Was hoping to finish this biography of Anne Frank before Kol Nidre. But the gates are closing...

    Jimmy Carter in his sober cardigan sweater put solar panels on the White House. Ronald Reagan, with an insouciant wink, removed them. Just in case you were wondering about the genealogy of the GOP's gleeful death cult of covid and climate.

    One of the factors that made that agreement possible/necessary was the Cold War. It's no accident that once the Cold War was over, the agreement no longer seemed necessary.

    “The electoral college system is a creaky antique, but it worked so long as everyone basically agreed to honor the popular vote in the states as controlling the award of electoral college votes. The moment that understanding is breached...all bets are off.” , to me:

    The problem was never just unions, it's democracy: "If American households are losing ground to inflation, and they can’t resort to automatic COLA or union power, they’ll find some other way, through their demands on the political process." -

    Good! I'd prefer no exemption for "small business" -- 100 employees? Please -- but this is an excellent step in the right direction.

    NEW: The President will announce that all employers with 100 or more employees will be required to mandate COVID-19 vaccines or require testing at least once a week, and they’ll have to provide paid time off. The new rule will impact over 80 million workers in private sector.

    At a moment when younger generations are confronting Gen X and the Boomers, demanding to know how they allowed this mess to happen, the well-known saga of Thomas, Katia, and their children, who force their father into the 20th century, takes on an unexpected, newfound relevance.

    Colm Tóibín's new novel about Thomas Mann's family is extraordinarily affecting and contemporary. Completely pulled in by the Katia and Erika Mann characters, and how suffused the family dynamic is with an almost artless, ongoing political conversation--about fascism, sex, art.

    Academic job market time is demoralizing for so many. I've been glad to see Higher Ed Labor United emerge and that and are supporting its vision of 75% tenure-track—though disturbed barely mentions higher ed in her email to members on reconciliation

    Contradictions of the neoliberal state(s). The same week that Texas secured a major rollback of women's right, this news story appeared. New York, by contrast, has distributed (by end of July) only $2.7 million of such aid.

    Tucked away in a footnote in Mandel's *Late Capitalism*, amid a discussion of the workers' rebellion of the early 70s, is a reference to Emma Rothschild's "penetrating analysis of the revolt" at the GM plant in Lordstown. Had no idea Rotschild used to write that kind of stuff.

    I've spent the last month reading or re-reading Mandel, Jameson, Lenin, Lowery, Sombart, Brick, Anderson, Streeck, Boldizzoni, Kunkel, Osborne, Durand, and Adorno. (Thanks for all the suggestions!) If I'm not ready to write 2000 words on "late capitalism" now, I'll never be.

    political agency on the left as yesterday's right reflected the amassing of political agency on the left. That doesn't mean "don't worry" (annoying to have say this), but it does mean some historical analogies may not be helpful.

    Last, though he doesn't address this directly, he provides a good way of synthesizing some of the conflicting arguments we've all had here about the right: about why it is shambolic and not like the right of the past. Today's right reflects just as much the decline of collective

    He's also very good at reading how policies of easy credit undermine collective agency. So his is a reading that entails more than the usual "neoliberals destroyed unions" thesis. Much more subtle about political implications of financial and fiscal policy.

    Also, the stuff Streek says about how we've become a society that deals with social problems through individual improvisation, opting for personal strategies over collective structures, seems pertinent to both covid and climate change.

    The decline of collective political agency, first wrought by capital against labor, with the falling capacity to create new forms of popular legitimation, now affects everyone.
