I'm late to the party on this, but my review of Hayek's Bastards, is on @antipodeonline.bsky.social Glad @quinnslobodian.com appreciates it! It was prompted by a conversation the author had with @jathansadowski.com on the This Machine Kills Podcast a while back.

Great review of my book pushing on the gender question and how central it is to only the central metaphor of the title but the world of exclusions and hierarchies the paleo alliance was (is) deadset on reconstructing.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists. This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

"An absolute moral failure." Around one in three disabled people are on Medicaid. I spoke to disability advocates about how devastated they are that the House passed the budget bill that will slash close to a trillion from Medicaid at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Failing to act now will establish a dangerous precedent of capitulation. If universities do not stand together now, they will stand alone—and one by one, they will fall. The path forward requires considerable courage—shared courage. Leadership must stand together to ensure our institutions endure.”

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

Politics and Rights Review@polrightsrev.bsky.social · 2y ago

Professor Jennifer Denbow critiques how the U.S. obsession with innovation devalues reproductive labor, mostly done by women. She examines the economic and political forces that prioritize profit over care, reinforcing gendered inequalities. #FeministEconomics tinyurl.com/y3d7zb7h

How Innovation Hype Devalues Reproductive Labor

The sudden rise of innovation-speak over the last few decades in the United States is an important political and economic phenomenon.
