This report about prison work in Washington State released yesterday by @columbialegal is a must-read for anyone who cares about economic justice. State reps should heed their recommendations: extending fair wage laws to prison workers and ending forced labor in state jails.

Today is a good day to revisit Chapter 12 - The Demonic Suction Tube from @GregGrandin 's The End of the Myth. In it he discusses how MLK connected American imperial violence abroad to American racism at home. An evergreen analysis.

In 1967, MLK called the United States the "greatest purveyor of violence in the world today." He connected the war against Vietnam to the war against the black population at home. Liberals abandoned King after this speech, preferring genocide over peace & racism over equality.

Absolute pleasure getting to talk with Vincent Bevins @Vinncent about his new book, If We Burn! Me and @raadzzi had a great time and can't recommend the book enough!

My latest for @SoSeaEmerald is a sit down with Councilmember Kshama Sawant as she wraps up a near decade tenure on Seattle’s City Council, why the Democrats will continue to lose favor with young voters, what radicalized her growing up, and what’s next. southseattleemerald.com/2023…

“Defund the police” was criticized as a “slogan.”
Meanwhile, “defund everything else in order to fund the police and their inevitable massive lawsuits” is a daily reality that’s hardly interrogated.

The funniest part about David Leonhardt is not that he suggested Nazi Germany as a recovery model in 2009 or his braindead views on immigration, it's that his dad was a Maoist and this is how he turned out
David Leonhardt's claim and subsequent explanation for why people in the U.S. or Europe "favoring lower levels of immigration is not inherently bigoted or always right-wing" is one of the most nonsense collections of words I have read in a long time:
ALT But favoring lower levels of immigration is not inherently bigoted or always right-wing. The most prosperous large countries in Africa, Asia and South America tend to have much smaller foreign-born shares of their population. Japan and South Korea make it particularly difficult for foreigners to enter.

An unsentimental living obituary for Jimmy Carter that remembers the man for what he was as opposed to the fantasy that every editorial board in the country is about to project backwards onto him
