For @nybooks , I wrote about how the lives of Afghan families in the NY area who fled the Taliban after US withdrawal have unraveled in the past year following various Trump admin attacks on asylum seekers, TPS holders, refugees. nybooks.com/online/2026/06…
Max Nelson retweeted
I wrote about how Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Lebanon has reconfigured how children make sense of the world, for @nybooks nybooks.com/online/2026/06…
Max Nelson retweeted
For @nybooks, I wrote about the UFC > All this testifies to how thoroughly the UFC has become the lingua franca of a strange new twenty-first-century formation: the nationalist international.

As Israeli war criminals parade in NYC alongside our public officials, the Gaza flotilla's participants are recovering from the extreme violence inflicted on them at sea. I wrote about the history of the flotilla movement's efforts to break the blockade: nybooks.com/online/2026/05…

Wrote on what the Hormuz War means for free seas and Eurasian globalization for @nybooks: nybooks.com/online/2026/05…
Max Nelson retweeted
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
Max Nelson retweeted
For @nybooks I hung out with the leaders of an Iranian opposition party in exile that has organized the community here around support for Trump, support for the war, and support for the son of the last shah. My dispatch from LA nybooks.com/online/2026/04…
Max Nelson retweeted
By this point Trump (who yesterday described as “animals” people who today embody “a whole civilization”) probably can’t help himself. But no one around him is going to lift a finger to put a stop to this?

Max Nelson retweeted
Earlier this month, for @nybooks, I moderated a convo between Suzanne Schneider and Osita Nwanevu about the Iran war and MAGA, whether an enfeebled populism will open the door to a next-gen neocon, and what might happen when "Trump leaves the scene": nybooks.com/online/2026/03…
