Re-upping my favorite piece that I had the opportunity to write this year. Written with the indefatigable Jeffrey Smith for Slate. and its spinoffs in: Buzzfeed: When Erykah Badu called me racist, gay...and Satan (buzzfeed/lesterfeder/erykah-badu-suggest-white-gay-males-are-behind-criticism-of#.mwLGEbd0K) HuffPostLive (TV Interview): Why do singers keep performing for dictators (live.huffingtonpost/r/archive/segment/5367ceb2fe344468a4000539) To Erykah Badu: may you realize one day to use your voice for freedom. Hopefully soon. Hopefully for the people of Swaziland, at least. Oh, and #sorrynotsorry. Thanks to one of the worlds experts on competitive authoritarianisms and how to defeat them, Will Dobson, (also the superb foreign affairs editor of Slate); Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, the super host of HuffPost, for always listening and asking good questions; the great people of HRF; and, those of Buzzfeed: it wouldnt have been possible to shine a light into one of the forgotten dictatorships of this earth without you. Thank you. Also everyone else who made this year one of the best. Thanks so so much. #2015herewecome #rockon #butneverwithdictators ;P
