Yesterday, we joined @taxgreed.bsky.social and Spaces in Action DC to demand a fairer tax code—one that puts working families first, not trillionaires. Unsurprisingly, the @trillionsfortrump.bsky.social weren’t thrilled. They had a lot to say in response. 👀

My piece on the way Trump's administration is pretending to care about workers and women's rights to justify their new climate destroying energy policies. socialistworker.co.uk/environment/...
Trump has a new plan to justify climate-wrecking policies
How should the left respond to claims by the Trump administration that climate policies are bad for workers?

Part of how fascism works is that it erases our history, and makes our own story invisible to us. I see this everywhere in America right now. It is terrifying.

It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. 🪶

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

Leonard Peltier free today. I did not think that this would ever happen. Grateful that he will be outside for his last years. #AIM

My favorite museum...also a crash course in the rapaciousness of Empire...
Fantastic piece on state of the British Museum now - '...to understand the museum at all, it was necessary to think of it as more like a library than a museum. “What we are is an archive of material culture”.' - Recovery work, &, 'the ghosts are everywhere' 🏺📚

‘The ghosts are everywhere’: can the British Museum survive its omni-crisis?
Beset by colonial controversy, difficult finances and the discovery of a thief on the inside, Britain’s most visited museum is in deep trouble. Can it restore its reputation?

From @AnaAurillo: "Jeff Bezos's Washington Post editorial board has endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for Attorney General.

Nowhere in the endorsement did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist.

Billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy."

Old comrade @ConnieHeller is part of an art show in Waimea. The reception is Thurs. 1/16 5 to 7 p.m. Big Island people, you should go!

The theme that holds the show is ʻOni, shifting consciousness/shifting land, telling stories that challenge colonialism in Hawaiʻi and beyond.

Last X-Mass Cards from the White House for a while. Getting ready for what is likely a rough ride.

Most of my life was a fight with finance capitalism, and efforts to expand democracy. Never really expected to face fascism in my own country tbh.

Hey @scholars.org know anyone who would want to host an interview?
Anyone running any radical history podcasts, or even general history podcasts, who would like to do an interview with me about the German Peasant War for the 500th anniversary? My new book is coming out in February and I'd love to talk about it!

just totted up all the substacks I pay for and found myself thinking ‘wow wouldn’t it be better if all these writers were in one place and I could just pay a flat fee’ so anyway that’s how today I invented the concept of the ‘newspaper’
