After many years of chronic posting, I’m barely here these days. I’ve started a Substack, though. Here’s why:

Avi Lewis: "You're hearing from leaders across all the key affected sectors, workers, Indigenous communities, and people who care for the beautiful nature of this country. This bill is flawed to its core. It's got to be scrapped."

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

This afternoon, Parliament will vote for the first time on Bill C-39, which fundamentally attacks the rights of workers, Indigenous rights, and environmental protections. Yesterday, I spoke about this bill and how it undermines the constitutional right to strike.

California’s 250 billionaires know they have little chance of winning a referendum in which 20 million voters are asked to approve a tax of 5% on billionaires’ wealth to fund health care and education.

So, what do they do? Sergey Brin (Google co-founder), @patrickc (Stripe co-founder), @peterthiel , @ericschmidt and others have devised an extraordinary array of schemes to manipulate the vote.

[Gabriel Zucman @gabriel_zucman]

Three million Californians will lose their health coverage as soon as next year if the billionaire tax does not pass. Yet according to this campaign, it is passing the billionaire tax that poses the greatest threat to California’s health care system (!!).

It is an old trick: convince people that the cure will make the disease worse.

Here is the main ad flooding California television and social media right now. Orwellian.

[Gabriel Zucman @gabriel_zucman]

As voting begins today, the world needs to know what Silicon Valley billionaires are doing to sabotage the billionaire tax now on the ballot in California.

This is shocking. 🧵

[La nave di Teseo @lanavediteseoed]

La copertina di @Internazionale dedicata a “Il nuovo fascismo” di @NaomiAKlein e @astradisastra, in uscita il 27 ottobre.

Un saggio appassionante e documentato che scava dritto nel cuore del presente, ci costringe a guardarlo senza illusioni, e a scegliere come difendere il futuro di tutti.

1. Datos espectaculares que muestran cómo las movilizaciones cambian la opinión pública.

El 73% apoyaría una huelga general por la vivienda, incluso una mayoría de votantes del PP (61%) y de Vox (63%).

Nuestra sociedad va a cambiar profundamente en los próximos meses. 🧵

[Tom Sherrington @teacherhead]

This was brilliant! Grim analysis but ultimately inspiring . Let’s stay 👊
@NaomiAKlein @astradisastra @DavidOlusoga 👏👏

[Dissent Magazine @DissentMag]

New @KnowYrEnemyPod Matt and Sam talk to @NaomiAKlein and @astradisastra about their new book, "End Times Fascism." How does it help explain the coalition of religious fanatics, tech billionaires, and ethno-nationalists now in power in the United States?

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

This is especially concerning coming at a moment when we will need philosophers, artists and social workers more than ever. AI will challenge our our moral and ethical code, our social structures and our very humanity more than any tech in history. We should be encouraging those fields of study that prioritize societal benefit and are pro-human, even (especially?) if they are not valued by capital markets.

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

I really appreciated this in-depth conversation with @jonfavs for Offline. And respect to the team for leaving in the part where I made fun of their home security advertiser! We had a productive debate about the use of the word of “fascism” and I made my points about Dems taking $$ from AI companies (don’t!)

AOC: What the elite want—and they’re already planning for it—is to hoard all of the resources for themselves as the world gets more and more physically unstable.

And in an environment of AI, they want to wipe out all of our livelihoods. They want to make sure none of us have jobs, and they want to keep all the spoils of those riches while consuming and burning energy at a pace that is completely unsustainable.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Yeah go with that

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

When it comes to choosing corporations over our communities, I’ll always be with our communities!

This is our first commercial, but to make sure we get in front of so many I haven’t met yet, it will take ALL of us.
