I think this is going to be repeated in a lot of countries. We're going to see years of governments falling over themselves to be hostile to immigration, followed by years of panic at the consequences of hugely reduced migration.

The American public wants to restrain spending on the military and increase taxes on the rich. The President and Congress keep doing the opposite. It’s not exactly “populism” that’s driving this.

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
There’s no such thing as a “free market.”
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Not acknowledging World AIDS Day and engaging in COVID revisionism are straight from the eugenics playbook. One of the most effective ways of making people invisible is by erasing their history.

Prasad says FDA will state that "COVID-19 vaccines have killed American children," which he calls a "profound revelation." He directs FDA staff who disagree to resign. He offers no research data & doesn't submit it to peer review. Science is transparent, it is testable.

Politics is the art of the possible. If you believe it cannot be done you will not do it. If you don’t believe there can be justice you won’t work towards it. Your first job in making the world better is imagining how it could be and consistently moving in that direction

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Do you strongly support the concept of universal basic income? Do you enjoy editing videos and especially enjoy making video essays? Would you like to have your own basic income that enables you to focus on such video work in advocacy of UBI? Please DM me and include a link to some of your work. TY!
