Terrific conversation with @interfluidity.com here about the desirability of unbalanced trade and Waldman’s foreign payouts tax proposal. One of the most succinct and holistic summaries of our economic situation I’ve ever heard at minute 49.

Liberal Currents

Neon Liberalism #30: Are Trump's tariffs a personal madness, or a response to deeper dysfunctions in the world trade system? Yes. Samantha and guest Steven Randy Waldman talk about why global trade has become so imbalanced. www.liberalcurrents.com/neonliberali...

I wrote about The Corporate Power Reset aka The Montana Plan—a surprising legal theory that could end dark money and corporate election spending—for Liberal Currents. @thmoore.bsky.social championed this idea at The Center for American Progress. I hope I got the intellectual history right!

“when Hawaii’s State Senate Bill 2471 goes into effect in 2027, it will be illegal for corporations to spend money to influence elections in Hawaii.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-corporat...

Heck, misnumbered my thread. Where is the phantom 7th post? I’m sure that one would have gone viral…

Will this work? I don’t know! It may very well get struck down by the Supreme Court eventually. But in my piece I advocate for a spaghetti against the wall approach. Might as well put the corporate oligarchs on the defensive, especially when out of power! 8/

I’m grateful to Liberal Currents for publishing my article about a legal theory being tried in Hawaii & Montana which would ban corporate election spending in spite of the Citizens United ruling. How would that work? A 🧵 1/

I have a piece out now in @liberalcurrents.com on a new law in Hawaii and a ballot initiative in Montana which could make corporate election spending illegal (despite Citizens United!). Check it out here: www.liberalcurrents.com/the-corporat...

The fun thing about Emily Wilson’s Odyssey review is she is low-key an early Nolan head. She likes Following! What a weird, unsettling, underrated movie.

Joe is a fantastic scientist and a great communicator. This should be cool 👇

Just a reminder: Dr. Joe Pollock will be taking over the TNC Science Bluesky account tomorrow from Palmyra Atoll! 🪸 From coral bleaching and reef recovery to the surprising role of sharks, he'll share stories and science from one of the world's most remarkable coral reef ecosystems. Don't miss it!

True. I’m still mad about the portrayal of crop disease at the start of Interstellar 😂

I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Steve Randy Waldman’s foreign payouts tax aka “free but balanced trade” since I read it. One potential warning sign in the piece though… 1/n

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li

one of the things i like about waldman's "free but balanced trade" is that it represents an end run around the moral and legal quagmire of trying to enforce fair trade by transnational institutions

My new favorite genre of good news is “indigenous people building affordable housing.” Warms my YIMBY heart.

Montana Free Press

The Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana has gained the city's approval to build a large affordable housing development on land that was once home to the Indigenous poor in Great Falls.

Happy Shark Awareness Day! If I had to distill my outreach goals into one post, it’d be for you to learn that: Sharks are awesome! Sharks aren’t a threat to you. Sharks are ecologically important! Sharks are threatened and need your help! We know how to help sharks! Follow for more.

I had a lovely time reading every Francis Spufford novel I could get my hands on (thanks Flathead co library!) then writing this essay about his Christian humanist moral vision: open.substack.com/pub/theenthu...

I‘ve loved digfing into these essays. Fascinating and provocative. Lots to debate and consider.

My theory: because Neal Stephenson put smartglasses in Seveneves. The whole tech industry seems dedicated to making dystopic versions of tech from Stephenson novels.
