"If We Burn", Vincent Bevins, 2023. Wherein he attempts to answer the question, 'How come, after 2010-2020 saw more mass protests than any point in history, things got worse': "No media distortion, no focus on empty spectacle, no twisted corporate agenda is required to generate the feeling that politicians do not fully represent their constituents. By all accounts, they do not. There is widespread agreement that the political systems in advanced societies have become distant from the sovereign people that putatively grant them their power. In the United States. so often a default reference point for liberal politicians in Latin America and the rest of the Global South, one famous study indicated that "economic elites and organized interest groups play a substantial part in affecting public policy, but the general public has little or no independent influence." Researchers at Princeton and Northwestern Universities found that the preferences of average citizens have almost no influence on the form of government, unless wealthy actors and powerful interest groups want the same thing."

Is Claudia Sheinbaum the leader of the free world?

"Around the globe, liberal humanism is faltering while the forces of reactionary cruelty are on the march. So Sheinbaum, who has adopted López Obrador’s slogan “For the good of all, first the poor,” can seem like a shining exception to the reigning spirit of autocratic machismo."

A #Yale professor who studies #fascism is leaving the #US to work at a #Canadian #university because of the current US political climate, which he worries is putting the US at risk of becoming a “#FascistDictatorship”.

#JasonStanley, who wrote the 2018 #book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, has accepted a position at the University of Toronto’s #MunkSchool of #GlobalAffairs and #PublicPolicy.

#BillGates’ #climate group lays off #US and #Europe #policy teams
#BreakthroughEnergy, the climate group founded by Bill Gates, has laid off dozens of employees in the U.S. and Europe, eliminating its #publicpolicy and partnerships teams as it shifts away from advocacy work. Its investment and grantmaking divisions will remain unaffected.

"Musk’s management of his own companies like X provides clues about what to expect from President Trump.

In Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk, the business mogul lays out what he calls his five step “algorithm” for making organizations more efficient. After his first step, questioning every requirement, Musk’s second step is to remove as many processes as possible. He goes as far as saying that if you didn’t cut so deep that you have to add some parts back later, you didn’t go far enough. Here’s how Musk put it:

“Delete any part or process you can. You may have to add them back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10 percent of them, then you didn’t delete enough.”

Sound familiar? As the Trump administration issues one sweeping declaration after another — blanket suspensions of foreign aid, DEI, federal grants, loans, and so on — the DNA of Musk’s management philosophy seems present in practically all of it.

There will be cuts. The question is: how much will be put back?"

PS: The joyful picture of Barbara Gittings I posted earlier today came from the private sphere, but even their private moment was political. Certainly they left their papers to the NYPL under terms that allow it to share the image online.

Washington State's HB 1380 could reshape public property use! This bill legalizes homeless encampments, limiting local authority to impose bans. While addressing a pressing issue, it raises questions about privacy rights and public safety. How do we balance compassion with community concerns? #PublicPolicy #Homelessness #Privacy Read more: steelefamlaw.com/w9TbFb

NaturalNews.comWashington Democrats pass a bill to legalize homeless encampments on public property – NaturalNews.comWashington State Democrats have introduced House Bill 1380, sponsored by Rep. Mia Gregerson (D-WA), which aims to legalize homeless encampments on public property statewide. The bill restricts cities and towns from banning or limiting homeless encampments, instead requiring judicial approval. Judges must deem restrictions “objectively reasonable” based on time, place and manner. Homeless individuals are […]

I made this reading list elsewhere to shut up some rando talking out of his ass, so I'll share it here for educational purposes.

(Y'all seem to like books.)

Anyone interested in #history and #publicpolicy about the US' racial animus, these are a really good place to start.

The Color of Wealth: The Story Behind the U.S. Racial Wealth Divide (Lui, Robles, Leondar-Wright, Brewer, Adamson)

The Sum of US: What Racism Costs All of Us and How We Can Prosper Together (McGhee)

The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America (Rothstein)

And of course:
The New Jim Crow: Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness (Alexander)

Caste: The Origins of our Discontents (Wilkerson)
