💡To counter the rise of the far-right and confront our social-ecological crises, a new politicization and democratization of money is needed. Ecological economist @colleenschneider.bsky.social explains why in our latest blog: tinyurl.com/5a268rpp

Modern Money Lab @modernmoneylab.bsky.social · last yr.

To understand the money system is key to being an informed citizen. To change the world, we have to persuade people to take an interest & provide the info. in an engaging way. The Deficit Myth and Finding the Money did that. I hope so will these upcoming events. modernmoneylab.org.uk/events/

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term. "When state actors refer to peace, they are really taking about order..." (@prisonculture.bsky.social and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social)

A page from Let This Radicalize You by Mariame Kaba and Kelly Hayes, the chapter called "Violence" in Social Movements, page 111. Under the heading "They Will Call You Violent" the text reads:

If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because violence is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty the torture of imprisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, as long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to peaceful protest, they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

Looked to me like Israeli drones sprayed the boat with some white paint-looking substance and then the IDF surrounded it, kidnapped the people on it and cut off their communications with the world. “Diverted” doing a lot of work here

BREAKING The City of Glendale, California — one of the most populous cities in Southern California — says it has terminated its contract with U.S. Homeland Security and ICE.

Glendale, CA - The City of Glendale has made the decision to formally terminate its agreement with U.S. Homeland Security and U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to house federal immigration detainees at the Glendale Police Department facility.
This is a local decision and was not made lightly. Since 2007, the City has maintained a highly regulated, locally controlled facility that is maintained to the highest standards, extending basic dignities to those temporarily held-ensuring access to clean accommodations, on-call medical care, family visitation, and legal counsel. By offering local access, detainees were given due-process proximity that is too often lacking in more remote or privately-operated detention centers.
Nevertheless, despite the transparency and safeguards the City has upheld, the City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contract—no matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the good—has become divisive. And while opinions on this issue may vary—the decision to terminate this contract is not politically driven. It is rooted in what this City stands for—public safety, local accountability, and trust.
Glendale is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in the nation. That is no accident. The Glendale Police Department is trusted and supported by the residents and businesses, and in turn, our officers work every day to protect and serve with professionalism and care. At this time, it is in our best interest to not allow that trust to be undermined.
To that end, we emphasize:
• The Glendale Police Department does not enforce immigration law. That is not their role, nor will it ever be.
• We remain in full compliance with California Senate Bill 54 (SB 54), which prohibits local law enforcement from using resources for immigration enforcement.
• The Glendale Police Department has not engaged in immigration enforcement, nor will it do so moving forward.

The oligarchs have no idea why they're so rich. They've been feasting off the state capacity scraps left over from the New Deal, WWII, and the Cold War without knowing it. They genuinely believe it's their genius that makes US GDP grow. What four decades of neoliberalism do to a corporate elite.

2. @colleenschneider.bsky.social & Michael Miess discuss money as a social relation within power structures. They argue that understanding the socio-political nature of monetary provisioning is key to social-ecological transformation, emphasising the state's role as provisioning guarantor.
