THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT IS GETTING NERVOUS
The political establishment — Democratic and Republican — is getting nervous. So are the Oligarchs and the corporate media they own.
The world they dominate is beginning to shake beneath them. Change is coming. And they don’t like it.
What we saw on Tuesday in New York, what we are seeing all across the country, is that ordinary people are getting involved in the political process, are taking on establishment candidates, and are winning. What is particularly frightening to the establishment is that many of the candidates, and their supporters, are young. The future belongs to them and they want that future to look very different from what it is today.
It’s not complicated. Progressives and democratic socialists are winning elections because the vast majority of the American people understand that status quo politics and policies are not working. You don’t have to be a PhD in economics to know that in America today the very rich are getting much richer while the vast majority of our people are struggling to pay for the basic necessities — healthcare, housing, food, education and utilities. You don’t have to be a sociologist to realize that the younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living than their parents. You don’t need to be a political scientist to understand that we have a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires and their super PACS to buy elections, undermine democracy, and protect their privileged positions.
The American people, across the political spectrum, are rejecting the establishment’s uber-capitalist ideology, value system and priorities. They want an economy and a government that works for all, not just wealthy campaign contributors.
More and more Americans refuse to accept the current reality that:
One man, Mr. Musk, owns more than three times as much wealth as the bottom half of our society. That billionaires and large profitable corporations often pay an effective tax rate lower than truck drivers or nurses. They are demanding that the billionaire class starts paying their fair share of taxes.
We are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. They want Medicare for All.
Tens of millions of workers are earning starvation wages. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.
Big Tech and the wealthiest people on earth are aggressively pushing AI and robotics, the most transformative technologies in history, without public input. They want these technologies to benefit all, not just the handful of billionaires who own the industry.
Nearly 800,000 Americans are homeless, and more than 20 million households are spending 50% or more of their limited incomes on housing. They want a freeze on rent and the construction of millions of units of low income and affordable housing.
ECONOMISTAS POR LA VIDA 🫰🇨🇴 Reconocidos economistas —entre ellos Thomas Piketty, Jayati Ghosh, Ha-Joon Chang, Yanis Varoufakis, James K. Galbraith, Isabella M. Weber, Jason Hickel, Ann Pettifor y Fadhel Kaboub— se pronuncian en defensa de los avances económicos logrados bajo el gobierno del presidente Gustavo Petro.
@estoescambio No había tenido la posibilidad de leer a Eduardo Sánchez. Con admiración encuentro un artículo que, desde una perspectiva epistemológica, facilita la comprensión de las intenciones detrás de una campaña de “libertades”. Lástima que esta información sea invisible para algunos.
Eduardo Sánchez, corresponsal de Cambio en Europa, analiza los orígenes de la derecha neorreaccionaria, sus principales ideas, la influencia de los tecnoligarcas de Silicon Valley y su expansión en la política contemporánea.

Desde los periodos anteriores vengo haciendo seguimiento al comportamiento electoral de los colombianos en el exterior. ¿Qué les dice este mapa? Son claros los patrones de los votantes. #eleccionespresidenciales#análisis#colombianosenelexterior #
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2-hour Stanford lecture on AI careers. It will teach you more about winning in the AI race than all the AI content you’ve scrolled past this year.
🚨🚨¿Quieres entender el conflicto en Medio Oriente?
ESCUCHA a Jeffrey Sachs, economista estadounidense, analista de políticas públicas y profesor de la Universidad de Columbia. Lo explica de manera clara y sencilla 👇:
🚨 #Urgente | En Belén, La Plata (Huila), la comunidad campesina vive bajo amenaza.
Mientras los medios dicen que “secuestraron al Ejército”, la realidad en el territorio es otra y es que fueron obligados por grupos armados.
Estigmatizar a las víctimas es volverlas blanco de la violencia, por eso insistimos en el mensaje en que se debe proteger y no estigmatizar a estas comunidades.
Exhortamos a las entidades correspondientes a restablecer la seguridad y a los medios de comunicación a no estigmatizar a la gente que sobrevive al miedo y a la violencia.
@JairIngeniero En Francia salen con lo mismo de siempre: si no se habla de la migración, es porque no existe. Así fue con la discriminación hacia los latinos o los afro.
@infopresidencia@petrogustavo No me convence la réplica del presidente de Francia. Si no se ha hablado de migración en todo el evento, entonces no se está visibilizando el problema actual en el mundo y que es transversal a la temática del evento.

Colombia vive días oscuros. El atentado a Miguel Uribe volvió a encender el miedo y el odio. Pero hoy quiero hablar sin rabia, sin trincheras. Desde la memoria, desde el dolor, y sobre todo desde el deseo de que dejemos de matarnos por pensar distinto.
