Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

That is not a problem profs have. It is a problem some central university admins who speak like strategic plans have. They and the Dems cover up a lack of idea ls with bs words. Profs would like former profs like Obama to stop talking shit about is.

Here’s my take on what Obama got right and very wrong re comms on Colbert: everyone agrees the federal Dems are terrible at comms. But the problem is not that the sound like profs; they don’t. They sound like empty functionaries who use words to try to obscure the fact that they have no ideas.

Fascinating interview!

Molly: For me, the Bund and Zionism represent these diametrically opposite answers to the question “What do you do with how fucking racist Europe is?” The Zionists were like: “You can’t do anything about it. These people just are racist. They just hate you. The only thing that you can do is you can leave, and you can get out of their claws.” Whereas the Bund was like: “Yes, it’s hideously racist here, but also it’s not genetic. It’s not that these Europeans are fundamentally evil. It’s because of these systems that blame Jews to take the heat off of the autocracy or off of the capitalists or off of the ruler. And we can actually fight alongside Russians or Poles or French or German people for a better world.”

"Control over workers" and "profit" are two parts of the same complicated process that is continually reproducing itself. "Profit" is just a word for the unpaid labor of workers (creating more value than their wages pay for) being turned into wealth that someone else takes.

Did you know that you're not allowed to be in Dem leadership or legacy media if you have ever, even once, won a game of "Stop Hitting Yourself"

The reason it is genuinely important to have hope is because the only thing that could have helped us definitively stop whatever happens today would have taken years to build. And believing it was possible and that there was time are the only conditions under which something like that can be built

We can all sit here and say someone do something but until the people with enough awareness start doing things themselves, as in engaging in organizing work on a regular ongoing basis, orgs capable of challenging state power will not exist.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Use petroleum to make fertilizer --> use the fertilizer to grow corn --> turn the corn into an inferior substitute for gasoline. This policy was always a stupid giveaway to big agriculture, but doing it to address a war that's causing a global fertilizer shortage really takes the cake.

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

My longstanding thesis and a hill I'll die on: mayors around the country have been setting up mayoral climate offices that create a splash but accomplish very little. Real local climate policy means reinvigorating existing departments and embedding decarb missions there. cf Depts of Transportation!
