If only we could get coverage of climate change on par with AI. It’s an existential, extinction-oriented event that’s happening now and cannot be reversed. Wars will be fought over food, water and mass migration. Media covers single catastrophic events and the just moves on.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1873: Jay Cooke & Company declares bankruptcy, sparking the Panic of 1873. The catastrophic financial crisis lasted longer than the Great Depression and was in many ways more brutal for ordinary people. We can trace who we are today to its economic devastation. /1

“The Rush from the New York Stock Exchange on September 18, 1873,” by Howard Pyle. There are clear parallels between the Panic of 1873 and today. The crisis wasn’t caused by a lack of wealth. It was caused by irrational exuberance over a revolutionary technology: the railroad. Investors poured billions into laying tracks that led nowhere, assuming the boom would never end. The post-Civil War era also saw the rise of the first mega-corporations, which wielded total control over their employees’ lives and wages. A divide opened between struggling farmers and workers and wealthy Eastern bankers. The farmers felt the “coastal elites” and politicians in Washington were rigging the monetary system against them. In short, the Panic of 1873 was the painful birth of modern industrial capitalism. It proved that an unregulated corporate economy could grow spectacularly, but would also crash brutally.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

It's fascinating, to me, how many columns and articles were written after Biden's withdraw from Afghanistan about the looming humanitarian catastrophe that Biden caused and how many fewer were written about Trump slashing US humanitarian aid still being sent there from $3B/year to $0 in 2025.
