Insurers of last resort are state-enabled programs meant to provide insurance to properties that insurers refuse to cover. And yet in our @cplusc.bsky.social report, we find these plans are ill designed to meet their policy objectives, and are instead run by and for the private insurance sector 🧵

La mitad de los pagos iniciales para el canal de Panamá se hicieron en inversiones de JP Morgan en finca raíz en NYC, y ahora es un promotor inmobiliario Neoyorquino quien busca quitarle el canal a los panameños... Me encantó colaborar con @phenomenalworld.bsky.social

I went on an ill-fated hike that kept me from hosting this episode; the silver lining is that i got to hear Sebastian Solarte interview Prof. Herrera as a listener, and learned SO much about what makes successful social movements+policy change, esp. around environmental harms. Check it out!👇🔥

The antics of the global populist right are intended to make us forget that theirs is a project of class+racial domination + that we must counter it on those grounds. @bhbradlow.bsky.social reminds us of the power of fighting for equality at the scale of the city +that a more just world is possible!

El dolor de la diáspora consiste en sentir destruidas nuestras comunidades; sentí a lo largo de estas conversaciones que el DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS nos va a ayudar a tejerlas de nuevo <3 Espero que les guste este episodio, buena excusa para escuchar mucho reggaetón

The possibility of resistance in this moment requires that we understand why so many Latinos supported Trump+possibly the most racist and explicitly imperialist iteration of the Republican party. On #Sur-Urbano, @williamcallison.bsky.social + I talk to Prof. Daniel HoSang on the multi-racial right.

Siento que las posibilidades de resistencia a este momento tan desolador requieren que entendamos por qué tantos latinos apoyaron a Trump, y el fenómeno de la derecha multi-racial. No se pierdan a @williamcallison.bsky.social y Daniel HoSang en #Sur_Urbano
