If one group captures a radically disproportionate share of growth, others receive less than they otherwise would have, even in a growing economy. This is measurable.
You can have innovation without extreme wealth concentration. You cannot have extreme wealth concentration without exploitation.

There isn't some fixed pie of wealth that billionaires are monopolizing. People who found companies create new wealth, and capture only a slice of that. Imagine how much poorer we would be if iPhones, Google, Uber, Spotify, or mRNA vaccines did not exist. Even Bluesky was created by a billionaire!

I think about this every day.
I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

Two years ago, I posted a Sub Rosa Day fic, in which Ronin is actually Emperor Palpatine's latest form, and honestly, it's one of the best random crossover things I have ever done. Enjoy!

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

It’s a sunny zero degrees today. The level of cold where the fire station down the street has the engine running all the time so it doesn’t freeze up in an emergency.

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.
They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.
They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

my father's 85+ year old friend with dementia just got stuck behind ICE trucks in Minnesota, saw them go into a building, he got out of his car and started filming and blowing his whistle and was quickly joined by ~30 people

This is so important because A) she did it in response to Benedict Wong, a far more prominent actor, saying he's listening to the audiobooks a lot and B) did it unprompted, she specifically stopped the fluff interview to draw the comparison to the themes of their film and support trans people.
You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

“I will not be able to sleep tonight if I do not say, because we mentioned Harry Potter, that trans rights are human rights.”
This statement is so direct. She’s incredible.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
