The housing crisis is an economic design problem: Our system treats homes as investment vehicles first, and places to live second.
@saikatforcongress.bsky.social is proposing a different approach: Treat housing like infrastructure, build more of it, and stop letting private equity buy it.
for every Ellie Aghayeva there are 100s of others who are forcibly detained without due process — who do not have a network of influencers, politicians and administrators who can stand up for them.
these violent, illegal abductions by federal spies must stop now. we cannot allow this continue!!!
My friend Ellie was abducted by the federal government from her room at Columbia University this morning.

More than 150 countries agree: our obsession with growth is destroying nature. By failing to value biodiversity loss, our economic system treats ecosystem destruction as an externality.
Going “beyond GDP” isn’t fringe, it’s consensus. The only holdouts are nations that benefit most from extraction.
Capitalism supposedly runs on competition. So why aren't the "free market" people freaking out that competition has been collapsing for decades?
If we want to fix the cost of living, we need an economy that works for people, not shareholders.
Americans deserve universal healthcare, universal childcare, affordable housing, and public power. These solutions are overwhelmingly popular and far overdue.

AI technology should be publicly owned. The coming AI bubble is an opportunity to make this vision a reality.

The enshittification of ChatGPT is here.
Google enshittified search. Facebook enshittified social connection. ChatGPT could enshittify thinking itself.
Five or ten years ago, this would've been unthinkable. Now global leaders are openly questioning GDP as the core goal of the economy.
That shift matters. It signals a deeper crack in the old story.
António Guterres gets it.

This is the USA in 2026.

Western intervention helped create this mess. more won’t fix it
so tired of this happening…

In moments like these, the USA needs an opposition party that actually resists — and that represents the interests of working people.
The Democrats aren’t that party.
