"The core of Neoliberal Public Finance ... fosters a negative feedback loop where public entities, starved of democratic financing tools, are forced into a politics of austerity, while private markets are prone to credit-fueled bubble."

UK Universities in Crisis? Time to Transform Higher Ed Finance

This episode examines how One Battle, which draws loose inspiration from Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, deliberately removes specific historical markers to place the story in an ambiguous present of ongoing revolution and counter-revolution.

Thank you so much 🙏 a collective labor of love that will hopefully be a helpful point of reference for some time!!

@moneyontheleft.bsky.social gave me the privilege + pleasure of reading an earlier draft; I'm excited to see it made public.

May this vision help generate thousands of curious convos, a robust counterculture on public finance...

So proud to finally publish MotL’s public finance strategy for Mamdani’s NYC. This is a collective labor of love months in the making. Now is the time to democratize finance at every level of government, no exceptions.

I’m so excited to share this document.

Hopefully Mamdani’s campaign inspired us enough to inspire them back 💙💛🧡

A staffer on Stephen Colbert's show wanted to ask the first ever Muslim candidate for mayor in the history of New York City to play a game of thumbs up, thumbs down about an ongoing genocide.

When this aired it was clearly Colbert participating in the coordinate sabotage of Mamdani around false electability concerns. But this is just holy shit so much worse

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

Are we ready for a Tucker Carlson/MTG antisemitism ticket once Trump is out of the picture? And for how enraptured the centrist press will be with how much they’ve both matured politically since their firebrand days?

It’s just 10 days to go until our launch event on Saturday 18 October at Teesside University and there are still a few places available - don’t miss out!

Here’s video of the incident

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...
