Everyone’s talking about Artist Basic Income again with the news of Ireland’s basic income for artists (BIA) pilot turning permanent. But how do we go from pilots - like we've had in the US - to policy? Popular education and awareness campaigns!

It's a critical time to be building the liberatory cultural front in the US. People's assemblies are movement and solidarity economy technologies we must access in this moment. Who will be in New Orleans next month?

All this talk about censorship really has me wanting to dig into the irish surrealist movement of the later half of the 20th century, because as far as I remember that was a protest against church censorship - and I want to see how artists and writers have fought back in the past

We talked art, communism & revolution—and he was into my book Teach Truth (even caught the “Heven Tonite” lyric I quoted).
Grateful for the brilliance & the laughs. Can’t wait for his new film “I Love Boosters”!
