Key will be to include the development of new public monetary infrastructures designed to take care of people and environments, rather than to fuel inequality and ecocide. www.aaup.org/article/stop...

This essay by @willbeaman.bsky.social is a good place to begin, for those who are interested in MotL's contributions to the debate. moneyontheleft.org/2021/03/23/m...

4th year running that I can’t watch Knicks games as a NJ-resident / Xfinity cable customer, because Dolan tried playing hardball with Comcast, which dropped MSG. No over the air option. Blacked out on league pass. I’d have to pay an extra $30/mo for MSG’s awful streaming app. Enshittification!

Number of fed gov employees being the same now (335m population) as in 1950 (152m population) seems bananas and speaks volumes.

We all need to become eco-populists. That means championing policies that significantly lower daily costs while lowering emissions. Heat Pumps for All, alongside much more robust tenant rights; free and better public transit; price caps on green energy; make polluters pay for the transition.

What containers can we build/invest in to reinforce and spread more inclusive culture? Not the Dems since they're not a real party. Labor is key but limited. DSA is great but we need to reach people who aren’t already socialists. Campus culture is obsessed over but lotsa folks aren't profs/students.
