Proud to have signed letter from 600+ economists & inequality experts from 70 countries supporting the call for a new Independent Panel on Inequality- an Inequality IPCC- to tackle the inequality emergency- G20 leaders must support this. #G20SouthAfrica www.independent.co.uk/news/south-a...

To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

The gov't doesn't have the exclusive power to (mis)interpret the law, the people can give it meaning too under the principle of popular sovereignty. The law doesn't treat protests ag immigration raids as a "rebellion" & I explain why (and provide signs!). youtu.be/bIEhD2hw2oM

Tulsi #Gabbard - revisionist? Ask Susan Sarandon. In 2019 Gabbard sounded off against #government #corruption and #lies, at #BernieSanders’ Institute with lefties, Susan #Sarandon, Ben Jealous, Radhika Balakrishnan, Jim Zogby. She’s revised her entire persona since. Her credibility is ZERO.

Maria Farmer is a strong inspiring survivor of Maxwell and Epstein’s abuses. She’s right when she says pedophilia is not a partisan issue but rather a societal problem. We need to give a voice to the victims who want to testify and trust them. We should not rely on an abuser to know what happened.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Columbia University Acting President Claire Shipman welcomed to Columbia College's graduation ceremony with sustained jeers and boos. Minutes later, students break out in loud chants of "Free Mahmoud":

Our capital gains tax system seems complex, but it boils down to this: The more profitable an investment proves to be, the lower the effective tax on the gains that investment generates. "You could not design a more regressive tax system," writes @azboblord.bsky.social in @inequality.org:

Just open, brazen, persistent, shameless grift and corruption and conflict of interests:

This is a thousand times more of a threat than the economic devastation we’re all reasonably enough distraught about out. The constitutional order as we’ve known it is hanging by a fraying thread that trump is holding a straight razor to with no one even reaching to withdraw his hand.

The crowds that AOC & Bernie Sanders are getting are MASSIVE. Here’s the current scenes in Denver. Thousands. #FightOligarchy (🎥: Bastian Brauns)

Via Adam Tooze adamtooze.substack.com China is cracking down on economists who say negative things about the economy. Can I say that it's *extremely* easy to imagine the Trump administration following a similar path?

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter. Thank you for being one of the remarkable people who demonstrated that what's often thought of as time for retirement is when some among us reach their prime. Thank you for your feminism, your advocacy for Palestinians, your hands-on Habitat for Humanity work....

May he rest in power! Let’s keep his legacy alive by working for the issues he cared about!
