The administration’s crackdown on the Palestine movement goes hand in hand with the endless flow of US weapons and funding to the Israeli government.

The horrific anti-Palestinian violence we saw in Brooklyn this weekend — a pro-Israeli government mob beating, chasing, and harassing anti-genocide activists, all while the NYPD was largely absent — is the inevitable result of this type of policy which criminalizes support of Palestinian freedom.

St. Luke’s, Idaho’s largest health system, is the one major institution standing in the way of a ban on emergency abortion care in Idaho — a move that would make the state’s policy one of the most extreme in the country.

"Think of global trade as a single giant balloon with the air therein made up of countries with surpluses & deficits. Squeeze a deficit in one part of the ‘balloon’ and the balloon expands elsewhere. Squeeze a Chinese surplus in one part of the system, the United States, and the balloon blows up when China’s surplus is dumped on, say, the European Union. Too much squeezing of both deficits and surpluses will puncture the balloon and cause it to spiral out of control." . - Ann Pettifor

Hudson: "Trump’s aim is to cut income taxes on the wealthy by replacing them with tariffs as the main source of govt revenue. ..replacing progressive income taxation falling on his own Donor Class - the One Percent that paid no income tax prior to its enactment in 1913” Democracy Collaborative.

"We think that we produce value privately—that we create value as private actors, and then the state comes and collectivizes it through taxation. In reality, we produce produced collectively, through shared infrastructure, knowledge, labor, and social cooperation—and then those in power (whether market power or state bureaucratic power) come in and privatize it. So if we use the state, it should be to diffuse power in order to make sure that the value we collectively produce is enjoyed collectively." . - Yanis Varoufakis
