Naming names was wrong then and it’s wrong now. Shame on US universities who are collaborating with authoritarianism. #academicfreedom #freespeech

I love Barbara Kingsolver’s book Demon Copperhead. It makes you want to ACTUALLY fix the opioid crisis (and stop blaming Canada).

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

At the same time Democrats and progressives are justifiably enraged at Trump’s gonzo Cabinet picks, they’re all but mute about corporate America’s continued siphoning of economic gains to the top.

If Uber cannot afford to pay its drivers minimum wage, there is no socially necessary reason to keep that company around. That simple. Ban it. Have someone else step in to provide that service and pay at least minimum wage. www.amny.com/transit/uber...
