the cuban revolutionaries inherited a country with a 41.7 percent rural illiteracy rate and transformed it within a year, building 37 new schools in the first year of the revolution in a country that had built only 1 new school in Havana in the prior 57 years

We need to stop measuring the economy by how wealthy the top 1% are doing or by how much the stock market has increased.

Instead we need to start measuring a country’s success by its standard of living, its access to healthcare/education and its the levels of homelessness/poverty.

We no longer have Republicans and Democrats.

We have an Authoritarian party and a Status quo party.

"One of the things that we have discovered, which is quite interesting, is that human beings have a psychological need to be cared for, but they have an even greater psychological need to care for others, or to care for something. . If you don’t have that you basically fall apart. It’s why old people get dogs. We don’t just care for each other because we need to maintain each other’s lives and freedoms, but our own psychological happiness is based on being able to care for something or someone." . - David Graber

Opinion: Want a more resilient Canadian economy? Double down on democratic employee ownership With the U.S. government’s escalating trade war, we need to rethink and prepare to reorient Canada’s economy

Canada is facing an unprecedented threat from an unpredictable and hostile US administration. We need to do something new and different fast say @1alexhemingway.bsky.social and colleagues. Employee Ownership Trusts could help reorient Canada’s economy they say.

“I would propose that we just rip up the discipline of economics as it exists and start over. This is my proposal in this regard: I think we should take the ideas of production and consumption, throw them away, and substitute for them the idea of care and freedom. As feminists point out, even if you are making a bridge, you are making a bridge because you care that people can get across the river. You make a car because you care that people can get around. So even production is just one subordinate type of care as what we do as human beings is take care of each other.” — David Graeber

Most work is caring for other people.

Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

How effective is protesting? According to historians and political scientists: very From emancipation to women’s suffrage, civil rights and BLM, mass movement has shaped the arc of US history

In thinking about what you can do this year, keep this in mind:

Showing up at protests has real impact!

Please tell me that you’re selling these somewhere

It sounds great, especially for a free synth

The Argentinians I meet are always surprised to hear that my favourite Argentinian footballer of all time isn't Messi but Maradona. Man Maradona was a legend, and it was just on the football field, but also off it. He was a Communist, openly stood with Cuba, Palestine, and all oppressed peoples.

"Direct action is a form of resistance which, in its structure, is meant to prefigure the genuinely free society one wishes to create. Revolutionary action is not a form of self-sacrifice, a grim dedication to doing whatever it takes to achieve a future world of freedom. It is the defiant insistence on acting as if one is already free." . - David Graeber

David Graeber once wrote an important piece about the power of protest and the police. This is an extract.

Wtf, people have internalized capitalism to a gross degree

If we don't privatise everything that the people own and award contracts to the company that donates the most to a political party then where do we expect politicians to make money from when their terms end
