Horrific. A 50-year old black man had a stroke & was confused from it. Cops didn’t want to “waste time” doing a thorough evaluation for a medical emergency, assumed it was drugs, & simply threw him in jail. He died

A tragic example of the cruelty of structural racism

It's happening right in front of you.

Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act.

It's happening in plain sight.

Great to hear. While working on it, we recommend checking out "Economics for Emancipation: A Course on Capitalism, Solidarity and How We Get Free" from the Center for Popular Economics ⬇️and the (out of print) high school guide "Teaching Economics As If People Mattered" economics4emancipation.net

Calling all educators! We’re creating a high school curriculum for Scene on Radio Season 7: CAPITALISM.

If you've used any part of the series in your teaching, we'd love to hear from you. Please fill out our short survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thank you!

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

Is it cool that I think you shouldn’t be murdered by the state even if you’re a drug dealer???

"thoughtful feedback" ftw

Me: forever mad about the FBI’s surveillance, propaganda, violent work to destroy everyone from Du Bois to BLM

Also me: people need to understand what is happening to Comey is bad, big bad.

It’s the both/and. Sometimes I think the hardest work for educators and media is to explain nuance/context

I just wrote 'The Blue Scare: Keeping ScOR #14'.

Nothing is inevitable. In either direction. Hope and work.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

When a media outlet settles a lawsuit with Trump, he doesn't go away. Instead, he sees it as a sign of weakness and keeps tormenting the outlet's journalists.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

“It’s difficult to imagine how any lawyers inside the Pentagon could have arrived at a conclusion that this was legal rather than the very definition of murder under international law rules that the Defense Department has long accepted." - @justsecurity.org co-editor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

The thing that depresses me about Trumpism is that 2009-15, however imperfect, felt like positive incremental change. Reading this, all I can think about is how Steve King felt real repercussions for his racism in 2020. Schmitt won’t get stripped of committees for this. Because it’s mainstream now.

Mamdani is a citizen just like Vance. He no more owes "gratitude" to the US than does anyone else. The suggestion is that he is some kind of second-class citizen who owes deference to the country and those born here - exactly the kind of blood-and-soil nationalism that Vance so often promotes.

Thanks, Zinn Ed! Here's our episode on the Shays-led resistance movement and its relationship to the writing of the U.S. Constitution:
