If your critique of capitalism is stronger than your love for it then I generally regard you a socialist. 🌹

"The Age of Trump shall come and the Age of Trump will pass. We need to have the mentality of a soldier! But we must have the toughness of a street fighter. We do not need the sandy foundation of the summer soldier!" Excerpt of my Farwell speech.

Aurielle Hall knew she had little time to get herself and her daughter out of Altadena. Convincing her aunt who had lived in the area for more than three decades would be a different challenge. “It was just horrible. Everywhere you look, everything’s on fire.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/u...

Maybe Dr. Oz owning $550,000 in UnitedHealth stock and seeking to run the agency that oversees UnitedHealth's biggest cash cow (Medicare Advantage) should get more attention

Today, USC non-tenure-track full-time, part-time, and adjunct faculty filed for a union with the National Labor Relations Board! We are united by a desire to improve our working conditions and to make the university a more equitable and accessible institution for teaching, research, and learning.

At this point, everyone should read the Powell Memo.

It’s by Lewis Powell Jr., a corporate atty who would go on to be appointed to the Supreme Court by Nixon two months later.

It claimed free enterprise was under cultural attack and laid out a battle plan for corporate interests to fight back.
The left needs to follow the playbook of the right. Build media infrastructure outside of legacy outlets that sanewash extremists.

Build think tanks that normalize progressive ideas and can field experts for media hits.

Push far-left individuals into the mainstream to move the Overton Window.

Here’s the reality:

Science, evidence-based research, law, and our modern state are under broad attack from corporate interests.

This attack has been ongoing for the last 50 years. It’s been remarkably successful, leaving our country less stables, less equal, and more polarized.

It’s a war.

For the rest of us, we need to be more active in uprooting these right-wing operatives from our institutions.

Particularly schools. Beachheads like Hoover exist to force unscientific rightist ideology into the heart of academia. It doesn’t belong on campus.

There's a quickly moving grassroots effort to get Minnesotans to follow Michigan's lead and vote "uncommitted" in Tuesday's primary. Biden must hear that we need a #CeasefireNOW

Please help spread and share the message. RSVP to show the numbers. mnuncommitted.com

No one seemed to know what had happened to the Höfner violin bass that accompanied Paul McCartney and the Beatles to worldwide fame when it went missing more than 50 years ago.

It turned out to be passing time in the loft of a family home in England.

Sanders needs to call for a ceasefire. He is giving @AIPAC
an opening to clip out his interviews out of context to drive a wedge in the progressive moment. We don't need to be reactive. We have to be smarter.
