"by using the “taxpayer money” frame, they were spreading, however unwittingly, a racist, sexist, classist myth... every time we say “taxpayer money” we prolong the illusion that society depends on certain kinds of people so we can have nice things."

Heavy winter floods in Gaza are devastating displaced families, flooding their tents. Children are freezing and dying. Hundreds of thousands have nowhere to sleep.
This is not a natural disaster. This is man-made genocide. Israel continues to block tents, shelters, and fuel from entering. They have concentrated 2 million people into dangerously flood-prone areas and have destroyed Gaza's sewage system.
We must force an end to this U.S.-backed genocide. Full arms embargo now.
🔵 Save the Children: “This is a choice”
“This is not simply the result of bad weather. Tents, shelter kits and fuel are waiting at Gaza’s borders while children sleep in floodwater, because the Israeli authorities are blocking their entry.
This is a choice, and children are paying the price. More than a year into the so-called ceasefire, it has failed to protect Palestinian children.”

The only thing that should precede and proceed everything this man ever says is that he intentionally chose, every single day, to butcher Palestinian children and eradicate their entire families.

The blue tsunami against the oligarchy ended at the California border. Why? A rotten Democratic establishment, a political media too small to reach 38 million people, and no organization other than Big Money that has the interest or respect of the public.

#GodzillaMinusZero µreview: You immediately know what movie you're seeing. Always, puts you at the human scale inside the destruction, seeing the cost. While remembering there are also always those who ignore that cost in pursuit of their own desires. The monsters are terrifying.

Tomorrow I'm calling my representative and senior senator to demand that they not vote for Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer for leadership, but unfortunately they are Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer

If a prominent leftist pundit had spent five days straight weirdly attacking, and obsessing over, the victory of America's first ever Jewish senator, literally every day, multiple tweets, trying to undermine and downplay that historic victory against the odds, we all know what that pundit would be called.
But when it's a Muslim senator and the pundit is a prominent centrist...
This is why understanding how Federal finances actually work - as opposed to Scripture - matters. Making numbers line up in a spreadsheet doesn't necessarily address the real impact on the economy.
Saving lives is unequivocally good. But you better not leave a trillion-dollar spending hole in GDP. This is why I once said on Fox Business that we might need additional tax cuts to capture the full benefits of Medicare for All.

Oh no not drugs. It's funny I see a bunch of people who have nowhere to go hanging out with their people. Trying to sell v sketchy odds & ends.
Ofc the cops do nothing but throwing some random selection in jail will just chase them somewhere else. That's usually the only plan.
Last night I went by 16th and Mission at about 11 PM. There were two cop cars with lights on at both BART station entrances. And just across the street was a huge group of people openly selling drugs.
Why don't the cops get out of the cars & go across the street to break it up? I'm glad they are doing something, but I'm skeptical lights alone will fix this.

“diabetic children in Gaza are forced to use expired, unrefrigerated insulin because of Israel blocking it.”

Heterodox economics faces a “fatal challenge”, according to @jasonfurman.
The reality, as James K. Galbraith explains, is that “mainstream” neoliberal economics is profoundly insecure and no longer has a core that’s holding it together.
Both are political because economics always is. The question is whose side are you on. Anti-fascist Economics serves common people.
It “presents concrete proposals for ensuring an affordable, tolerable, sustainable economic life—the popular demand in Europe and in America that will shape our politics in the foreseeable future.”

Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵

🇵🇸 “I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying… We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.”
I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.
Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.
I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.
We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.
I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.
What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?
I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.
I swear it's because she looks and talks like an Aaron Sorkin character
Hasan Piker's response:
"Slotkin as Majority Leader? Are you fucking nuts? Oh my god, what are the Pod Jons doing, bro? Pod Jons, please stop. Never suggest such madness. What are you talking about?
That is a terrible idea. Elissa 'CIA' Slotkin? In a perfect world, It's Van Hollen. If you want a woman to run, put Elizabeth Warren up there. I would love Elizabeth Warren to be the Senate Majority Leader."
