A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
Never in the history of Western democratic politics has a single government contained so many proven and brazen liars who lie so often and so effortlessly and so demonstrably.
One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢 Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔
Can't be overstated how pathetic it is to have your ultimate colonial fantasy just be a strip mall
Have you read this? In the 1930s it was decided by a powerful group of politicians, capitalists, bankers, economists and journalists that a global market would be an ethically and functionally better way of organising human life than the democratic state. Thiel and the tech…
The number of Nobel Peace Prizes awarded this century for anti-colonial or anti-imperial struggles: zero.
Heterodox economics is based on genuine attempts to represent reality. Don't take it from me but from an experienced American finance journalist. Public sector 'debt' allows private sector surplus. Your alternative is to believe neoliberal propagandists. x.com/StephanieKelto…
“One way of restating persistent public sector deficits is persistent private sector surpluses.” ~@michaelsantoli
Goes completely against evolutionary group selection/adaptation . Those individuals who found themselves outside the group soon died. Those who cooperated survived
“The argument for collectivism is simple if false; it is an immediate emotional argument. The argument for individualism is subtle and sophisticated; it is an indirect rational argument.” — Milton Friedman
The Italian journalist who posed this obviously reasonable question to an EU official about Israel, Gabriele Nunziati, was just fired by the Nova news agency in Rome for the crime of asking it. The most notable aspect of this event is that it's now utterly unsurprising:
Journalist: “You've said that Russia should repay for reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for reconstruction of Gaza?” EU chief spokesperson: “I have no comment at this stage.”
Well worth giving up an hour to listen to @ProfHall1955 on @CheeseMacro. Fascinating discussion between Steve and Steve on the origins of individualism and its impact on our current politics, economics and culture player.captivate.fm/episode/6bad06…

Great article by @baoshaoshan: When Wang Huning — now a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China — travelled through the United States in the late 1980s, he was struck less by its wealth than by its loneliness. America Against America is an ethnography of…
The Marxists are right about this. The tendency of the rate of profit to fall. The 'investors' - the creditor class - can no longer make enough money on normal stuff like agriculture and manufacturing. They have to cancel democratic politics, disempower the state and privatise…
What was I just saying? What you can do when you combine Marx with Keynes and throw your Hayek and Friedman in the bin with the rotten, stinking vegetables where they belong. And the 'bond vigilantes' can shove their yields up their backsides. x.com/CollinRugg/sta…
NEW: China officially opens the world’s tallest bridge, completing the project in under 4 years. The bridge features a restaurant at the top, a whopping 2600 ft above the river. The bridge not only cuts a 2-hour drive to 2 minutes, but also features as a theme park with a glass…
This is one of the truest, but most ignored, sentences in the history of economics.
"Land is the source or matter from which all wealth is drawn, man's labor provides the form for its production, and wealth in itself is nothing but food, conveniences, and the pleasure of life." -Richard Cantillon
The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?
We’re making this video because we could die at any moment.” “70–80% of our patients are children and pregnant women.” “I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant.” “Can someone please stop this terror and horror?” —Australian doctors, speaking from Gaza
1/ A woman with dementia moves into an apartment in Colorado. A few months later she passes away unexpectedly. The family gets a bill for $4140. By dying, she “broke her lease early” A landlord gone rogue? No. It was a billionaire property management company called Greystar.
A classic example of what internalised guilt can turn you into - a slobbering idiot willing to slaughter others to finally exonerate yourself and make your peace with the ghost of the sacrificial victim. x.com/Alex_Oloyede2/…
