This time it's NY Trump donor billionaire Bill Ackman's turn to be a wonderful human after signing Bill Gates' #TheGivingPledge 🥹. He could have saved 10,000 kids from malaria! Or could fund Rene Good's ICE killer 🤗. We need to tax billionaires.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution. The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

Current reading: Let Them Eat Crypto, by @peterjhowson.bsky.social. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's terrifying how many charities, humanitarian orgs, celebs, & sports clubs have promoted the #crypto / #blockchain scam. Always at the expense of the poor/disadvantaged it's s'posedly helping.
