This is indeed a disturbing universe.

The left is struggling, rightwing populists are on the march, and democracy is under threat. This is a story about a global political revolution that I don't think either the left or right has truly reckoned with. And it’s the story you can read here. https://t.co/03q1AOa9O6

WHEN COMPANIES RUN THE COURTS is out today. It tells how the Supreme Court created a shadow justice system where companies pay judges, and where people almost always lose.

You are a part of this system. Get the book and find out how to escape: https://t.co/T6ThvyiHr9

I'm heartbroken by the Post's decision to eliminate its books coverage. The actual fact of my job aside, the existence of a standalone books section felt like a real celebration of a culture of literacy, dialogue, and even debate. It was a place to discover and celebrate.

I'm part of @BostonReview's symposium of everyone on what Democrats should do next. My case: if you want to save democracy, try believing in it. https://t.co/iRcJu89Ebr

[Matthew Zeitlin @MattZeitlin]

really incisive point by timothy shenk here. if you really don't think voters have policy preferences and vote accordingly, it's hard to actually justify democracy

Le livre s’intitule "Left Adrift: What Happened to Liberal Politics". Il est paru en 2024. Son auteur, Timothy Shenk @Tim_Shenk , est un historien et essayiste américain, aujourd’hui rédacteur en chef de la revue Dissent – l’une des grandes revues intellectuelles de la gauche américaine.

Always grateful to The Nation for letting me doing an interview series. Here’s the interviews I did for 2025:

For those surprised by the Carville op-ed, will take the opportunity to plug "Left Adrift," by @Tim_Shenk, and its account of the economic populism of Clinton '92.

The always great @ngperkins on the forgotten history of Schenectady socialism and its lessons for Mamdani, with an extended cameo from a young/brilliant/radical Walter Lippmann https://t.co/yL0O07J8tm

Bonus - What Happened to Liberal Politics? w/ @Tim_Shenk

Historian Tim Shenk is on the program to help us make sense of what happened to liberalism in the past century, and how we got to the place we are now.

Excellent, on-the-ground look at the challenges facing Democrats in rural America from Nick Perkins, one of Jon Tester's former interns (and one of my very best students) https://t.co/IiJROX8mah

[Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer]

This piece makes a smart argument, no?

[Kurt Andersen @KBAndersen]

YES.

Dan @osbornforne running for the U.S. Senate in my home-state (Nebraska) and @ZohranKMamdani running for mayor of my city ( ew York) are both the sort of Democrats we need now. Honest likable outsiders focused on populist economics. Gift link below.

[Tim Shenk @Tim_Shenk]

The piece is also, sotto voce, a belated intervention in the for/against polling debate of a few weeks back. Public opinion is a real force that has to be reckoned with, but there’s still a place for leadership in molding coalitions—and major opportunities for the left

[Tim Shenk @Tim_Shenk]

Wrote about how Dan Osborn and Zohran Mamdani represent two halves of a strategy that could bring together liberals and populists in a new progressive majority to fight for working people who have been stuck playing a rigged game

[Tim Shenk @Tim_Shenk]

This is an updated version of the most reliable strategy for building Democratic majorities since the New Deal, and the secret to Bernie’s success over the last decade
