I’m leaving this post without a paywall but I can’t continue Social Studies without your help. If you’re a free subscriber, please consider going paid. —LWLast week I got into a brief Twitter debate with JD Vance. I jumped into the fight after Zaid Jilani picked it. Later, Jesse Singal joined in, too. Then Vance quote-tweeted Jesse with this attack:I hate this smug, self-assured bullshit.
Live with Jake Klein, an Advocate for Free Speech, Liberty, and Individualism

3 weeks ago | leefang.com | Lee Fang |Joseph Klein |Leighton Woodhouse

Our guest today is Jake Klein, a libertarian activist and author who has written about the dangers of identity politics and tribalism. Klein, who was raised in an Orthodox Jewish household and is now atheist, talks about his path in life. We chat about the unproductive nature of many pro-Palestinian activists on the far left, the hypocrisy of many supposed “heterodox thinkers” and why we have come to reject any kind of racial or ethnic category.
Opinion | Oakland Mayor race sees hypocrisy over police defunding

1 month ago | sfstandard.com | Leighton Woodhouse

In a display of political hypocrisy spectacular even by the standards of Oakland’s septic politics, mayoral candidate Loren Taylor is being falsely accused of supporting police defunding by the same people who championed that cause a few years ago. Oaklanders will vote Tuesday to elect a replacement for former Mayor Sheng Thao, who was recalled last year and indicted on criminal charges in January.
Will Oakland Reject Progressive Politics in Mayoral Race?

1 month ago | thefp.com | Leighton Woodhouse

Will Oakland Finally Reject Progressive Politics? A special mayoral race in this troubled city is a litmus test for the Democratic Party’s future. ‘Carjackings, home invasions. . . I’ve lost my patience.’Loren Taylor is no populist rabble-rouser. With his good manners and his moderate politics, he would never be mistaken for someone aiming to burn down the political establishment.
Meet the New Boss

The first half of this episode is free. You can find Leighton’s work at on Substackand follow him on Twitter @lwoodhouse. “Morning in America.” That’s what comes to mind when we think of the heady 1980s. Departing from the “malaise era” for brighter shores with wind in the sails and dawn’s gentle rays on our faces. A nation strutting with swagger anew, convinced of its exceptional destiny, ineluctable as the tide.

Hear No Evil

A few years ago, I sat in a small conference room at the San Francisco headquarters of Twitter with maybe a dozen other reporters, poring over thousands of emails and Slack messages from the people who ran the company before Elon Musk bought it. We were looking for evidence that there was a years-long, orchestrated campaign of political censorship on the platform, carried out at the behest of the US government. We found plenty.
Opinion | Trumpists want to make the Presidio a Chinese-style supercity. It's nuts

2 months ago | sfstandard.com | Leighton Woodhouse

President Donald Trump’s executive order to defund the Presidio Trust is already legitimizing a preposterous idea floating around tech circles: converting the park into an autonomous city devoted to unregulated capitalism. Mark Lutter, founder of the Charter Cities Institute, which promotes “deregulated new cities,” co-wrote an article published last month in Palladium magazine in which he advocated turning the Presidio into a “Freedom City” modeled after Shenzhen in China.
DOGE as Class War

Feb 14, 2025 | compactmag.com | Leighton Woodhouse

It might strike some as odd: The new president of the United States won the election by rallying the working class against the establishment swamp, yet he has placed at the helm of his assault on the elite-controlled Deep State none other than the richest man in the world.
