This was really fun. What would finishing Reconstruction in ethical relationship with Indigenous folks on Turtle Island look like? Black Wall Street won’t save us. Wall Street was built by enslaved people to keep Indigenous people out. It is why it is still called Wall Street.

Korea's Hankyoreh rightly compares Yoon's attempted coup to ICE ops. "Why did Korean troops try to stay anonymous during martial law? We find our answer in an unexpected place: the way America’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol operate." english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

Die gleichen Preise treiben die Inflation und die Ungleichheit: Grundbedürfnisse wie Energie, Lebensmittel und Wohnen sind entscheidend. Daraus folgt: Wenn Regierungen diese Preise stabilisieren, schlagen sie zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe: Inflation & Ungleichheit.

The brilliance of the film lies in how it juxtaposes the mundane, everyday forms of violence in the first half with the spectacular violence of the second—contrasting the disavowed horror of systemic racism with the avowed horror of visceral affect.

Socialism in Cedric Robinson’s work, well preceded Marxism, is the rebellion against abuses of power for which capitalism emerges in response In Wolff’s frame, socialism emerges from Marxism aiming for worker appropriation of surplus & to end the employer-employee relation, the crux of exploitation

“Together we will build more homes, and build them better. Dignified homes are a human right,” says Lewis George. She says she will pursue social housing. (Publicly owned and mixed income.) “We cannot rely on the market alone,” she says.

Good’s children aren’t the only ones who have had a parent ripped away from them. The reason ICE officer Jonathan Ross was on that street in Minneapolis in the first place: the thousands of parents torn from their children, detained, and deported to countries where they may face the unthinkable.
