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/...

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:

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.

"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."

"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

In this conversation, @profwolff.bsky.social and I discuss—and make the case for—revolutionary change in the 21st century.

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)

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:

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.

@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?

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.

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!

@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?

"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.
