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.
Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.
Each defendant assaulted him.

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.

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control.

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.

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.

Harris’s Gaza Policy Was a Disaster on Every Level
Palestine may not have swung the election one way or another. But Democrats unquestionably paid a high price for their refusal to hold Israel accountable.

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
