Wrote about the Women’s March for Vice News. Think it’s an interesting rebuttal to the David Brooks column that’s been going around the Internet today. Brooks and Jonathan Chait have both argued that identity politics won’t save us, which seems insane given the turnout on Saturday, but also betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how political movements start to build. You need some identity politics, even if it’s as broad as “women around the world who oppose Trump” to get people out into the streets.

Anyway, you can read it here.
