I wish more economists knew someone who was $27K in debt from culinary school and making $10.50/hr. Or a vet tech student with $19K in loans and earning $31K. But hey, we can’t get economists out of their racially segregated school districts, so this is hopeless.

The thread below is very plausible.

It’s hard to accept that the U.S. is heading towards democratic collapse.

So, I photoshopped some potential headlines to show #WhatsToCome if we don’t act now…

The disaster of American housing policy in a nutshell. She says this like it’s some kind of a revelation and not and old story of failure.

This is what being in a union can get you! Double digit pay raises up to 30% and more guaranteed hours for part-timers. This contract was won through collective power and a willingness to strike. https://t.co/SPoVRHCI2L

This thread feels like an appropriate marker of 2 full years since the initial lockdown in the US, and it helps me understand the new normal we're now entering, with COVID now part a forever-changed respiratory disease context.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

As @ewanbirney put it to us, before Covid we had 4 coronaviruses circulating in the population. Now we have 5, and the 5th is especially transmissible.

As @zorinaq shows below, that means we get more waves of Covid in any given year than we got flu waves https://t.co/F5WDS1xFks

A thread

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

This thing has rapidly become the world’s exasperating good news/bad news story. If your head isn’t spinning, you’re not paying attention.

A 🧵on my take on both the good news & the bad, with an emphasis on the things that have changed in the past few days... or minutes.(1/25)

This thread gestures to a key gender dynamic underlying the war. And beautifully written.

The "economy" is ultimately our material relationship with each other and with the rest of the living world. As today's IPCC report settles in, we have to decide whether we want that relationship to be based on extraction and exploitation, or on reciprocity and care.

SUVs speeding through charred landscapes is how the American Dream ends.

The ecological rationale for a maximum income/wealth policy is impeccable and we should have the courage to talk about it.

This is abhorrent!

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

This is devastating news. Global South countries have been fighting for the right to manufacture and import affordable versions of the covid vaccines. A few hours ago, the USA, UK and European Union joined forces to block them at the WTO. The West is indefensible.

Every member of Congress who voted against raising the minimum wage should be forced to live on the minimum wage for the rest of their time in office.

Dolly Parton’s case for her not wanting a statue is also a case for why we want to give her a statue
