There's a real effort from a class of very aloof, sensible economists to undermine the emerging antitrust movement. They fell over themselves to dismiss "greedflation," a theory that keeps finding validation, as hysterical populism. Egg on their faces, I guess.

the housing crisis is insane because people who need somewhere to live are competing with people who see housing as a way to make more money. we’re literally competing for shelter with investors

Video of masked Israeli settlers striking European diplomats and elected officials near Taybeh, a Christian village in Palestine. The 78-year-old French mayor Bernard Baudoux was thrown to the ground and beaten with iron bars. Make no mistake: If the Israeli government wanted to put an end to this, they could within minutes. They don't. Just like Biden pretended that he wanted a ceasefire, but in reality worked tirelessly to enable Israel's genocide. They are playing the same trick on us again.

The SF mayor is pushing a ballot measure that limits future ballot measures to only ones that tech money funds. It makes the threshold such that it costs millions to do. Presented as "democracy is confusing. you need to be protected from it." Probably going to pass, too.

La critique du pillage est dépolitisante. Nous demander de respecter la propriété sans jamais questionner l’ordre social qui la fonde. Ces marchandises, c’est nous qui les produisons, par notre travail, mais elles appartiennent à ceux qui nous les revendent?

just making up new shit why not

A few readers have taken me to task for “missing the point of the film,” which is apparently that Elizabeth Holmes is unknowable and everything is ambiguous. Here’s my response: She went after Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung with everything she had. I was threatened with litigation on a daily basis for months on end. It was a ruthless cover-up of a breathtaking fraud, and she was at the controls. Just a little context for those who have forgotten or didn’t follow the original story. By the way, I loved the film. #BestPicture, IMO.

It's amazing that the SF mayor is trying to run a campaign against affordable housing, demonizing nonprofits. He has so many nonprofits. - Believe in SF: a His $30m personal PR fund - Downtown SF Partnership - Tipping Point - Civic Joy Fund

I lacked criminal intent but I still did 500 days in jail for sharing food with the hungry in San Francisco.

The Wall Street Journal wants you to believe that rent stabilized apartments are sitting vacant because landlords can’t afford to repair apartments. The truth is that these landlords delay repairs for years and decades, and are now trying to force New York to let them rent at market value so they can make more money. We broke it down.

On this day in 1966, Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton founded the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. More than sixty years later, the continued relevance of those demands laid out in the BPP’s 10 Point Program is a damning indictment of how little the material conditions of oppressed people in the United States have fundamentally changed.
