Why we should all be Marxists by Robin Lane Fox. The combination of title and author intrigued me - it’s not the same Marx, but a remote cousin. Still, a great article. Brazil is an amazing place. on.ft.com/4irIjFL Why we should all be Marxists

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country. It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.

Can we get to a 1000 followers by Christmas? We built up some followers on the other place, including big accounts, which was sufficiently scary to our senior management to keep them on their toes. That Elon destroyed that is harmful to workers' voices. Trying to rebuild.
