Does anyone else feel like the Twitter algorithms have been intentionally downplaying cop murders since 2020 cause there's been a plethora of high profile executions since George Floyd that feel like they should've trended just as loudly...
Anyway, justice for #TyreNichols

Why are ethics questions always like:
"is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?"
And not:
"is it ethical to hoard bread when families are starving?"

when you graduate under a mountain of debt you don’t have many choices, you probably can’t travel or get into activism, most likely you’ll have to get a job and enter the workforce, probably at corporation.

Student debt has nothing to do with economics, almost every other country in the world offers free college, including countries much poorer than the US. Student debt is about control, limiting choices and instilling discipline into new graduates…

This is true. Reagan admitted as much.

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.

But it's as if the Tories have seen the cruel, exclusionary, lethal, dysfunctional, phenomenally expensive and therefore highly profitable US system and said, "Ah yes, that's what we want."

I'm going to keep saying it. Much of the field of economics is being the modern equivalent of the king's astrologer.

Dysfunctional expectation #1: The focus of children from a young age should be achievement, productivity, and what college they'll get into.
The focus of children should be: self discovery, play, and emotional development in a loving environment.

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."-Greek Proverb
Our problem is that we have a bunch of wealthy "old men" who refuse to plant those trees.

Poverty is traumatizing. Even for those who get out of poverty, there's always that fear that you may end up back there again. No matter how many poor ppl you interview, if you haven't been poor, you will never fully understand this.

People mocked those who said the media failure over Russiagate could prove more catastrophic than its failure on Iraq, but we're now seeing those warnings borne out. The suicidal hysteria right now dominating (elite) US discourse on the Ukraine war is a direct product of it.

The psychopathy of capitalism gravitates toward sadistic violence by sacrificing the most vulnerable populations as a market inevitability, while also promoting a "competition ethos" that normalizes war as necessary to national security and "interests."

At a Hudson Institute speech in June Mike Pompeo listed Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan as ideal "lighthouses of liberty" through which the US can enact its strategic interests. They happen to be right next to Washington's top three geostrategic rivals.

NATO's Atlantic Council has proposed apartheid Israel as a blueprint for post-war Ukraine.
The paper was authored by Obama's former ambassador to Tel Aviv, @DanielBShapiro, now an Israeli spy-tech consultant.

There's a misconception in our society that people stop their self-destructive behavior when they apply "willpower", which is really just empty head noises. Actually people change when there's an expansion of consciousness. That's what we're waiting on with the human species too.

THREAD. One of the news outlets most subtly committed to spreading misinformation about police is NPR. Yesterday, NPR editors allowed one of their reporters to do something egregious.

First, police budgets are at an all-time high. So, literally, they were not defunded. It could literally not have led to it being easier to get away with shooting someone. NPR does not point this out. Second, there is no evidence to support this random person's causal claim.

2. The basic problem, as and note, was that Summers et al believed, like the Tea Party, that homeowners threatened with foreclosure didn't deserve relief. Unlike Wall Street, little people are subject to the sanctity of contract for fear of 'moral hazard.'
