For those (very few) of you who haven't had a chance to watch/listen to all my recent interviews and podcasts on Democracy Disrupted, my latest e-newsletter -- "Look Who's Talking" -- out today, has summaries and links to each of them. https://t.co/DPpN87BkTX #insomniacure

If you didn't read it then, you might want to read now what I wrote a year ago about what would happen when what's happening now happens https://t.co/axE4kCKutP: "Avoiding criminal prosecution is precisely why Caesar crossed the Rubicon ... & ignited a civil war 21 centuries ago"

The Hedgehog Review has been nicely promoting my new piece, Democracy Disrupted, in the issue just out. I hope you'll give it a read and share with others. Thanks!

@JamesFallows Thanks, @JamesFallows.

The @hedgehogreview just published my new piece, "Democracy Disrupted," https://t.co/dcQYqgZFqd. In the editor's description of my argument, "The challenge we face is to rethink governance in an increasingly virtual and massively distributed world." I hope you'll read it.

Time for another e-newsletter. This one discusses the launch of my consulting firm's new website -- and the launch of my new newsletter. I hope you'll check out both, along with some thoughts on climate change, government, and other dinosaurs. https://t.co/oITlStCA2l

My new e-newsletter, "Never Give Up, Never Surrender," is out today. I talk about when the firm I originally sold my consulting business to stiffed me, stole my employees' 401k accounts, and defied court orders to pay. Bottom line: We built back better! https://t.co/55D4HCQDEM

Tom @Edsall, whose writing I've been a fan of since college, quotes me today in his NY Times column on tech and the future of democracy, https://t.co/UMFLGEavFQ

A new issue of my e-newsletter is out, https://t.co/Z8LD7WdsMH, with synopses of my latest articles on the meaning of the Capitol riot and our new age of democracy, the video of my Inauguration Day panel for the Aspen Institute in Rome, and my favorite text message of the month.

[Eric Schnurer @ericschnurer]

I have a new piece out today, https://t.co/shtpbf1uTu. It argues that the attack on the Capitol illustrates the future of government in multiple ways.

Two things struck me about this year's election results: the fact that Democrats didn't do as well as they expected with both suburbanites, and with minorities. I've long thought that both these voter groups were misunderstood, particularly by liberals: https://t.co/r8cf1MA2od

"In the very near future, then, we will need to find brand new areas for job creation and economic opportunity. From where might such new piles of currently invisible raw economic material come? From our most abundant, and underused, resource: #waste." https://t.co/izTD20WGXS

[Eric Schnurer @ericschnurer]

My first new article (at least, the first available online) since July is out today. We are likely only in the early stages of far deeper divisions to come, in my view. If you're looking for feel-good post-election reassurance, don't read my new piece: https://t.co/6JzSV6VNLc

[Eric Schnurer @ericschnurer]

@JamesFallows posts on his blog a long missive I wrote on why the US under Trump looks even more today like the late Roman Republic--just before their Civil Wars--than when I first wrote about that less than a year ago. Hope you find it thought-provoking: https://t.co/TkyOY7PngV

[Eric Schnurer @ericschnurer]

I have a new newsletter out today that collects in one place my recent Social Innovations talk and paper about https://t.co/AFa8qU9OXY, and the Q&A session I recently did about the future of government and the economy. Plus, a different take on masks.... https://t.co/wdAYrQML1J

[Eric Schnurer @ericschnurer]

I had a piece published this week in the Social Innovations Journal about new venture to provide social services/human capital investment in an era of declining government investment. Looking for businesses interested in offering to their own employees. https://t.co/GDCALRynp4
