We’re going to face an exhausting train of outrages, but it’s impossible to overstate how obscene and dangerous this is. Trump whipped up a violent mob to assault Capitol police, and has now declared that violence on his behalf is immune from legal punishment.
If you have ever wondered what colonization was like—the violence, the dispossession, the massacres, the genocide, the displacement, the famine, the dehumanization, the racism—you are watching it in real time in Palestine. It is among the most depraved of all possible acts.
This is definitely true
I heard that Elon Musk wants people to send their Social Security checks directly to him. He says it's far more efficient than making Congress vote to reduce benefits and then cut his taxes.
Fernando Alexandre confirma que este governo não acredita em números, estudos ou estatísticas, só em achismos e percepções.
Clearly, Gaza alone does not explain Trump's sweeping victory. But the evidence shows that Harris’ failure to break with Biden’s policy came with a political cost—one that was higher than many had expected.

So I mostly follow Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) folks & adjacent folks
MMT places a Job Guarantee at the center of its policy proposals.

Why is Modern Monetary Theory So Important?
A big reason Modern Monetary Theory elicits pushback is that it threatens power relations, specifically, the perceived primacy of financiers.

Polanyi is one of the inspirations for Modern Monetary Theory.
They both use the fact that the state creates the currency.
It’s pretty fundamental to Polanyi’s political economy:

Also there’s no functional difference between a dollar of “debt” and just a regular dollar, except for the fact that we choose to pay interest on the “debt dollars.” We would be much better off if government embraced modern monetary theory
“What Modern Monetary Theory basically does is what Wicksell tried to do more than 100yrs ago. The difference is that today the ‘pure credit economy’ is a reality & not just a theoretical curiosity…” #MMT

Striking: IMF discusses growth, disinflation in the context of rising rates..& worries about commodity prices rising, more inflation and "fiscal challenges". Nowhere mentions the challenges facing the indebted - both private & public...in the context of high, sustained real rates of interest.
Sky News is showing aerial pictures of Northern Gaza. Words fail. It already looks like Mosul. Or Grozny. Or Mariupol. And the IDF has only just begun.

White Christian Nationalism needs to be recognized for the danger that it is.
Obrigado. É bom lê-lo(a) aqui. Abraço.
Trata-se da criação de uma narrativa sem base empírica, mas que, repetida até à exaustão, obtém o objectivo desejado: legitimar políticas de salários baixos e enfraquecimento do lado do trabalho no conflito redistributivo em curso. #ManufacturedControversy
While our attention is focused on Gaza, settlers and soldiers together are murdering and attacking West Bank Palestinians.
Obrigado, grande abraço, caro Diletante!
Imagine your own fucking outlet, the one you literally died working for, passive voicing your own murder.
