straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

“Critics dismiss this as pie-in-the-sky socialism. But what they’re really objecting to is more fundamental: the idea that democratic governments should guarantee people’s basic needs, even if it means intervening in markets”

Our latest working paper from Levy President @ptcherneva.bsky.social traces the "enshittification" (Doctorow)) of the modern labor market and how the postwar promise of full employment turned into a trap of precarity and debt The Job Guarantee could be the answer. levyinstitute.org/publications...

This clip should be everywhere Democrats can get it. This is how we need to learn to speak to the press.

Here Trump takes his entire theory of governance to its logical conclusion by demanding Democrats improve the parts of government he keeps trying to destroy

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

interesting to see that the supermarket publications have had significantly more courage to speak plainly than the prestige press this time around

I think this is one of the craziest Econ papers I've ever seen, insane depth and great presentation at FMM!

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going. Here is a detailed list, via @mehdirhasan.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/factchecki...

I have watched this work locally. When things are going terribly and the local GOP abandons their people and the local dems show up with food pantries and stuff to help anyone who needs it. It bleeds through the noise. Sometimes it radicalizes them into our cause. But we get NO support down here.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming. Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

I assumed this had to be AI. It is not AI. It's like concept design for Neil Patrick Harris at the end of Starship Troopers that Verhoeven rejected for being too on-the-nose.

This is a real thing that a judge had to say to the Chief of US Customs and Border Protection.

This Day in Labor History: November 1, 1879. The Carlisle Indian School opened in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. This school, central to the genocidal project to end Native American culture in the late nineteenth century, was replicated across the nation. Work was central to the genocidal project!

SCOOP: The Trump administration acknowledged they don’t know the identities of the people they’re killing; can’t meet the evidentiary burden to prosecute survivors; and consider those survivors to be “unprivileged belligerents." theintercept.com/2025/10/31/t...

Great conference with a lot of great ideas for infusing macroeconomics theory and practice with gender analysis. Check out the other two plenary sessions as well, featuring former Levy Scholars, research associates and attendees at our gender workshops over the years.

Yesterday, Institute President Pavlina Tcherneva (@ptcherneva.bsky.social) delivered the keynote at the CIRIEC International & Bordeaux GSEF 2025 conferences—highlighting global successes of the job guarantee and the social and solidarity economy movement. www.levyinstitute.org/news_items/p...

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

But Trump gets a ballroom and Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout

Grandpa is confusing an IQ test with a dementia test. And he thinks a 36-year-old would have problems passing the latter. Which is definitely not a sign of cognitive decline.

It’s cool that I need to figure out how to organize a food bank at my kid’s school because Donald Trump is a hobbyist child molester and dissolved Congress so he could keep people from talking about it

BREAKING: Social Security recipients will get a 2.8% cost-of-living boost in 2026, reflecting an average increase of $56 per month.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

Trump rewarded Changpeng Zhao, a business partner who boosted his crypto venture, with a pardon for crimes that Zhao pleaded guilty to. Trading presidential favors for self-interest. You can’t get more classically corrupt than this.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Fraud is on-brand for the Republican Party, which has created a fake AI video of Chuck Schumer and says without shame that it's the wave of the future.

Zohran Mamdani is the ethical power empath the world has been waiting for. MeidasTouch has put together this excellent power clip of the best moments of the NYC mayoral debate between the clear moral leader in the race and the corrupt genocidal moral failures he is running against.

yeah run this everywhere

Meanwhile, on main street:

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once: — Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing — Against raising the minimum wage — Buys foreign imports because they're cheap
