Don’t believe the hype. I ran the numbers and was pleasantly surprised: it’s all completely do-able financially! open.substack.com/pub/eskow/p/... #zohran #mamdani #zohranfornyc

I've set up a linktree site to connect my various websites: The Zero Hour, my personal website, etc. I'm sure I'll be refining and adding to it as I go. It's here: linktr.ee/eskow

My latest: the ‘peace plan’ is a violation of international law. It uses the threat of continued starvation and child imprisonment as leverage. That constitutes yet another war crime. www.zerohourreport.com/p/the-trump-... #gaza #palestine #israel #trump #peaceplan

Latest: On Gerrymandering and the War on Democracy: "The system itself limits political possibility." www.zerohourreport.com/p/gerrymande...

Isn't it time to give up the cult of the gun? www.tiktok.com/@richardesko... #CharlieKirk #murder #gunculture

My latest: www.zerohourreport.com/p/in-golden-... "The world bears no guilt for our deeds. The world includes the dead and dying children of Gaza. The only black marks on them are the ones left by US-made weapons. "The words of our politicians are waxwork faces in open coffins." #gaza #palestine

"No Kings—except BB, Albert and Freddie" Here's a quick message of support for everyone who's out there at the #NoKings demonstrations today. I would amend that, however, to "No Kings except BB, Albert and Freddie King." They represent the best of the USA.

My latest column: "The earliest confirmed cover-up of presidential incapacity goes back over a century ... Meanwhile, the 'Original Sin' book is distracting us from the worst sin of all: genocide." #gaza #democrats #biden www.zerohourreport.com/p/the-real-o...

In this conversation, @profwolff.bsky.social and I discuss—and make the case for—revolutionary change in the 21st century. The Case for Revolution (w/Richard Wolff) www.zerohourreport.com/p/the-case-f... #revolution #incrementalism #reform #democrats #maga @democracyatwork.bsky.social

DIGITAL NUREMBERG: There's a rally happening all around us—and there's no escaping it. (An excerpt from the "All for All" video series) www.zerohourreport.com

I've started a series of half-hour talks on @profwolff.bsky.social 's channel, @democracyatwork.bsky.social, on possibilities and paths for a radically improved world. The playlist is here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

California Gov./presidential candidate Gavin Newsom presides over roughly 1/5th of the entire USA—and still apparently has time to do a podcast. Zero Hour Senior Correspondent Sonali Kolhatkar has thoughts. Our conversation is below. youtu.be/anRXvW2qAO0

@profwolff.bsky.social and I search for the best way to describe Donald Trump's cruel and authoritarian—yet strangely off-kilter and wacky—regime. We know it's not democracy, and we know it's not good—but how exactly should we describe it? youtu.be/ksRpTRsOFZw

I spoke with Peter Beinart about his important new book, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning, and his recent NYT oped, "States Don't Have a Right to Exist. People Do." An important conversation for me, personally AND politically. youtu.be/QRzTem8tp7c #gaza #freepalestine

Taking a spiritual break today ... www.zerohourreport.com/p/a-spiritua...

A #2024 retrospective, with commentary on #Gaza, #climate, #politics, #AI and more. #HappyNewYear anyway! www.zerohourreport.com/p/2024-actio...

This is a (rough!) demo for a topical Xmas song I did 20 years ago — mistakes and all. I played the guitars but everyone else was a busy LA studio player and didn't have time to iron out the kinks. Happy holidays! youtu.be/ugcAp0kt5Hs?...

@sonalikolhatkar.bsky.social and I discuss the competing narratives behind the shooting of United executive Brian Thompson, the popularity of #LuigiMangione, and the urgency of #healthreform and #MedicareForAll.

@profwolff.bsky.social and I explore the question: which of these two is this country's true guiding light this #Christmas: #Jesus or #elon? www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAw6...

Talked with @rickperlstein.bsky.social about RFJ Jr.—and "Dr. Strangelove," the JFK Cult, and Medical Totalitarianism—and more! www.zerohourreport.com/p/talked-wri...

As the post-WWII order breaks down, there will be a ongoing and urgent need to find a new structure that works. I spoke with @tparsi.bsky.social of @quincyinst.bsky.social about their new & major report on that topic. The crisis it seeks to address is global—and very possibly existential.

Vijay Prashad of @tricontinental.bsky.social joins us to explore recent news stories re #gaza & the #NewColdWar & the internal tensions in #trump 's first wave of hires. What do they say about the future? How should #theleft navigate this new, shadowy landscape? www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6gK...

"childless woman" is such a 19th-century-ass insult. what else you got. do I render inferior tallow? do my cabbages grow pale and blemished? does the quality of my sock-darning bring shame upon my father's name?

I interviewed author/journalist Emi Nietfeld about her recent Slate article on the ways economic #inequality hurts American teens—rich and poor alike. More info and video here: open.substack.com/pub/eskow/p/...

From the archive: "The third shadow is Trump himself, a bloated bleached-blond Narcissus transfixed by his own silhouette ... Under Trump the Oval Office would become a hollow sarcophagus, the vessel for an aging and soul-dead boy king ..." — from July 2016 www.zerohourreport.com/p/trump-thre...

"Nothing the American people endure in the next four years can touch the horrors we’ll help inflict on Gaza in the next hour."

A word about "incrementalism" in #Gaza.

Hello Bluesky! I've created a starter pack of experts, reporters, activists, and organizations who focus on Social Security. It's still growing — let me know if there's folks I should add.

DON'T MOURN, ORGANIZE--FOR #GAZA The best antidote for pain is action. Here's what voters can do now for Gaza.

I’ve only now started using the bsky account I created a year ago, so I may be talking to myself. I have no idea how to change that.

“Nothing the American people endure in the next four years can touch the horrors we’ll inflict on Gaza in the next hour … “If there’s a silver lining, it’s this: Democrats can fight for these values today—by fighting for Palestine.” My latest. www.zerohourreport.com/p/trumps-usa...

So I hate to tag the mods- but I sent this email about the mass deletion of Palestinian accounts over a week ago to @support.bsky.team and I haven’t heard anything back (apologies if I somehow missed an email). I’d like to ensure it will be seen by the proper people.

I’m sure others have already observed this but it’s hilarious that an efficiency commission requires two co-chairs

My latest is “Dante in Gaza: The Craven Choir and Faithless Angels of the ‘Rules-Based Order’”: eskow.substack.com/p/dante-in-g...

“The spiritual equivalent of a World’s Ugliest Dog contest.” My latest. https://eskow.substack.com/p/highlights-from-hell-the-gop-debate

I wrote this thing about how we’re so confused nowadays that we’ve forgotten what liberty really is, and how Social Security is essential to it. https://eskow.substack.com/p/social-security-fdr-and-the-real
