Over the past year, Sam Berger, Sophie Jacobson, and I have been thinking about how a federal rebuilding must center power-shifting, building civil society power for democracy. In @donmoyn.bsky.social's Substack we wrote up our lessons; we're excited to share what we're learning! 1/

Join us for the second day of our annual @cape-team.bsky.social research conference, starting today at noon!

Could not agree more with @ryanenos.bsky.social. Columbia has lost so much credibility in the eyes of its faculty, students, and staff and is still at the whims of Trump. According to CU's climate survey, >80%of employees feel the university is not aligned with professional and ethical values.

Our annual @cape-team.bsky.social research conference on American Political Economy starts today at noon! Come join us for a discussion on new frontiers in APE scholarship, climate politics, and identity and symbolic politics and its intersection with political economy!

Excited to moderate this joint @columbiaigp.bsky.social + Workshop webinar with a great panel of folks to understand what Americans are thinking about AI policy amidst all of the debates about AI's impact on our economy and communities. Tune in live here August 5th at noon!

Trump, his family, and his administration has been unprecedentedly corrupt. 2028 candidates should respond by pledging to return the money to the American people as a corruption rebate. Sabeel Rahman, Jamie Keene, Rakeen Mabud, and I flesh out the idea for @bharatramamurti.bsky.social's Substack.

I really enjoyed chatting with @milaatmos.bsky.social for @futurehindsight.com about why we need to think about rebuilding people power as part of rebuilding our democracy after Trump, how government can unlock more organizing opportunities, and more!

Excited that this piece with my colleague Kate Andrias is out in the world! On the anniversary of abundance the book and May Day, we lay out how worker power has to be part of any abundance movement. Grateful to @monicapotts.bsky.social for writing about the report: newrepublic.com/article/2096...

Was great to share research on how workers are experiencing automated management and surveillance at the @aflciotech.bsky.social summit! Feeling inspired by the great labor focus on how workers can help steer design and implementation of AI tools in the workplace!
