Could be: 1) some people own stuff for income while others sell their labor 2) corporate division of labor where 80+% of people do shitty rote work 3) pay isn’t based on effort, sacrifice, or time but market power 4) more dollars is more votes in the market, no dollar/no vote
There is some social phenomenon which I suspect explains non work, non marriage, deaths of despair, general alienation and, I suspect, the rise of reactionary populism. It should be a major task of social science to understand it.
Why was I questioned by the Feds? As I approached the customs line at Dulles International Airport early on the morning of February 24, a man called out to me, “Mr. Blumenthal?” He identified himself as an officer with Customs and Border Protection, and led me into a cavernous…
The Quakers were among the first to mobilise against the Slave Trade. Good to see their moral compass is still working three hundred years later.
FINALLY its here: the (searchable!) database of nearly 30,000 pages of Federal Reserve Board meeting minutes I got through FOIA. As I've already started to write about, they significantly rewrite Federal Reserve history. crisesnotes.com/here-are-the-3…
As @AOC's voters told her, the reason they split their tickets wasn’t because of Trump's policies or rhetoric. It was because they wanted change, viewed them both as anti-establishment and fighting for workers, and out of disgust with the Gaza genocide x.com/aaronnarraph/s…
AOC asked her followers who split their ballots either for Trump/her or Trump/downballot Dem to explain why and posted the replies:
🧵The ballot measures last night say a few things about voters’ feelings about the economy. Here is how they played out. PAID SICK LEAVE All three measures requiring employers to provide paid sick leave PASSED (AK, MO, NE) All 3 states went to Trump 1/x
CNN analyst says Democrats should have listened to Bernie Sanders when he said the focus should be “on bread and butter issues.” “A lot of people attacked him for that, saying, well, are you saying cultural politics don’t matter? He wasn’t saying that.”
All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and…
Another shining example of @Noahpinion's great intellect. nytco.com/press/response…
We’ve launched a petition urging CBS News to send @tonydokoupil to Hebron with a camera crew. If he’s so confident Ta-Nehisi Coates is wrong about what’s happening there, let CBS viewers see it themselves and decide actionnetwork.org/forms/to-cbs-n…
This is either a complete and total failure to contain the conflict by the Biden administration -- or this is what the White House wanted and it's the most egregious lie told to the public since WMD. Either incompetence or duplicity--no 3rd option. Malevolent in either case.
And this is why blinkin and congress want to ban tick tock The raw truth doesn’t fit the propaganda narratives they want to spin
This is why israel banned AlJazeera, they don’t want the world to see the reality.
From the report: “Dean Rosen-Metsch has also convened meetings with GS veterans who served in the Israeli Defense Forces, directing them to counter Pro-Palestine student activities and to disrupt Pro-Palestinian advocacy on campus.”
This is absolutely priceless. And probably the most frightening clip you'll ever watch on the people in charge of the US economy. Jared Bernstein is literally the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, the main agency advising Biden on economic policy
The UAW will never support the mass arrest or intimidation of those exercising their right to protest, strike, or speak out against injustice.
BREAKING: Columbia U hired Cas Holloway (below) weeks ago to "contain" growing pro-Palestinian protests. Turns out he led the massive police repression of the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 as NYC deputy mayor. Yesterday: Same strategy. Same repression. Same mastermind.🤔
I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
Sending in militarized police and snipers to stop students from exercising their First Amendment rights is truly disgusting. Why are my colleagues and the mainstream media more outraged over these anti-war protests than they are about the over 35,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza?
BREAKING: @medeabenjamin arrested for disrupting "Defense" Sec. Lloyd Austin this morning. "The whole world is watching what we are doing in Gaza right now." "Secretary General, You are supporting a genocide!"
