The @liberalcurrents.com online community is genuinely great. The Discord is worth it for the book recommendations alone. And the Reconstruction Papers are just about the best thing I read about policy this year.

This is not a battle that can be won by individual action. It can only be won through community, through organizing, through collective action. Community is the soil from which action grows. Here at Liberal Currents, we are building one such community. Join us.

The @nytimes.com reports over $1 Billion in dark money donations this cycle. This is why we need to pass I-194 in Montana! My take in @liberalcurrents.com here: www.liberalcurrents.com/the-corporat...

The Corporate Power Reset

Legislation in Hawaii and Montana shows how pro-democracy advocates can fight back against Citizens United.

"Secret money is not new. But the pervasiveness has reached industrial scale in 2026 and serves as a preview of its coming prevalence in 2028. Nearly every major primary and battleground race this fall has been or will be shaped by secret funds" @nytimes www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/...

Thanks to my childrens' completionist journey through every episode of @wildkratts.com I learned the Kratt brothers worked with @nature.org to establish a wildlife refuge (excuse me, "creaturefuge") for grizzly bears in Montana! Love a feel-good conservation story. creaturehero.org

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.

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...

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/

Having taken a few days to read the piece, on the surface I like the nuts/bolts of the proposal (am quite active in ex/im so didn't need the first sections framing the issue, but appreciate most will). However, I caution that many parties of variant scale are involved that must be teased out. 🧵

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@sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 2mo ago

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
