We can and should harness the rapid growth of aggressive native species in their native range to produce abundant ecological and human value alike. Today, I wrote about one such species open.substack.com/pub/thelas…
This is why the primary role of socialists in office must be to empower the organized working class, both inside & outside the state. Just manipulating the capitalist state via higher taxes & welfare programs will never produce durable gains
Agree with all the criticisms of this nonsense and would add that even if you think this is a 12d chess move to fool dummies into voting for a socialist, it’s completely undemocratic for a candidate to make that choice unilaterally. The costs are borne by the movement
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist?
"I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people."
She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate.

Everything Mamdani said during the primary was a lie
Zohran Mamdani launched his mayoral campaign two years ago today. @PeterSterne interviewed him at the time. And it's remarkable how decarceration has not been the mayor's focus, at all, in office.
This lady is a fraud who writes outright lies for a billionaire rag, but my favorite part about this extremely lazy piece is that she does not offer ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of “better industrial ag”
This would get an F in freshman composition
The answer to bad industrial agriculture isn't non-industrial ag, it's better industrial ag.

Brad Lander is adamant about investing taxpayer money in the contemporary equivalent of the Zyklon B manufacturer. He can rot in hell
What @bradlander is doing says so much about who is, what he stands for, and the principles he will bring to Congress. He is an amazing man. Read his statement.
The most charitable possible description of AI is that they’ve invented a Google search that includes Reddit comments and presents them as cold hard facts
Deer are surprisingly quiet when they bound through the woods. The forest floor is covered with crunchy leaves right now, so every step I take sounds like balling up a bag of chips. A squirrel gathering nuts sounds like a shark attack. A deer at full speed is easy to miss
America’s industrial farmers are the most pampered and least competitive producers on Earth. And yet, their sense of entitlement—guided by a delusional belief in their own rugged individualism—knows no bounds
Same issue with labor. We automate production only to discover the results are alienating and ugly despite their smooth “perfection”, so craftsmanship becomes a luxury fetish, turning the human touch into a status symbol for lonely, miserable rich people
