I’m so angry I wrote an article: In Germany, fascist majorities are a real possibility again, but the centrist merger of a revived Red Scare with open racism shows that mainstream media & politics are unable or unwilling to comprehend the seriousness of the crisis tribunemag.co.uk/2026/09/germ...

Fascism is at the door, and liberals are ushering it in. Only the left offers hope.

I have a new article on depression and critique out in Constellation - in case anyone needed more depression on their timelines! I discuss to what extent, and how, feelings of depression can be politicized and channeled into resistance.

Very happy to see my article on anger, critique, and resistance published in Hypatia. It argues for a less moralized understanding of anger highlighting that emancipatory anger is a political achievement.
