"We wnt to Italy. Where workers can fire their own boss." Nice work, @heyjohnrussell.bsky.social! 👏
NEW: Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives.
In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP.
We went to Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in the country, to investigate how Italy’s workers built a more democratic economy.

I finished #Ta-NehisiCoates' #TheMessage & literally can't figure out why it's controversial. Ooh, 'Isreal's a colonizer actively colonizing' maybe? Well, Ta-Nehisi has—& showed—the receipts.

Today in 1972, as Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, and Ron Evans were rocketing toward the Moon, one of them looked back and took this iconic photograph, the first to capture a fully-illuminated round Earth and the only one taken by a human being.
