Affordable housing, nutritious food, clean water, time off, the internet, breathable air, universal healthcare, quick and clean mass transit, and living wages are not luxuries. They're the baseline of human rights.

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.
Story to come. The topline: If this holds, this would almost assuredly result in an overturned election, as Griffin trails by 734 votes and many of these contested ballots are disproportionately Democrats over Republicans. #ncpol

Book Birthday: it was really neat being invited to rethink the origins of this project, and why it's important today-right-now to revisit the Renaissance and how its myth affects today's politics (especially these harmful theories of "creative destruction")

Billionaires? They’re DONE ripping you off. We’re going to TAX them, and we’re going to do it STRONGLY. Very FAIR, very POWERFUL. And quite frankly, they haven’t paid taxes in a very long time. Only I can do this, folks—because I don’t take their MONEY, I take them ON! #MakeAmericaFairAgain
What if the secret to winning elections is somehow Trump's syntax. We need a guy to say stuff like "But we're going to abolish billionaires and we'll be doing it very soon. They'll be paying very high taxes but it'll be very fair. And frankly they haven't paid taxes in a very long time"

Let’s talk about resistance after a conqueror takes power. Specifically let’s talk about this bendy yellow building, and what it shows us about the moment the Florentine Republic finally fell to its kleptocratic/proto-capitalist banking-fortune Medici conquerors 1/?
