This book review was helpful for someone like me who has heard of MMT but can't quite distinguish how it differs from standard Keynesian theory.

"To Trump, the Bible and the church are not symbols of faith; they are weapons of culture war. And to many of his Christian supporters watching at home, the pandering wasn’t an act of inauthenticity; it was a sign of allegiance—and shared dominance."

"For about nine months, only a small group of people knew that the Interstate 5 shield hanging above the 110 freeway was a forgery. Then one of Ankrom’s friend leaked the story to a local paper. And that’s how Caltrans found out."

Found this Wikipedia list of (notable) books about anarchism.

"The women of May 19th bombed the U.S. Capitol and plotted Henry Kissinger’s murder. But they’ve been long forgotten."

A christian critique of authoritarian revolution.

"For radicals, fetishizing the guillotine is just like fetishizing the state: it means celebrating an instrument of murder that will always be used chiefly against us."

"Leading with housing status for homeless people is a common trope in the news reporting business and one in urgent need of re-examining. In many cases, it is used as a rhetorical device to depict people experiencing homelessness as a threat to public safety, a common right-wing canard used to justify virulently anti-homeless policies and harsh policing of people perceived to be poor."

presentation by Tim Elmo Feiten

Interview with Andrew Yang:

"We need to create more touch points for people to be able to do “work”, but we can’t think of work in our current narrow 9:00 to 5:00, punch in punch out sense. We have to broaden it to include things that both people can do, and want to do, and also things that we need much more of. To me, the real misconception is that giving people a measure of economic freedom will somehow discourage them from working. It will actually make them much free, more able to pursue the work that they really want to do."

Councilman Kevin Flynn with the requisite call to harass homeless people for "health and safety" reasons.

Boulder Daily Camera editors against the camping ban.

The New Yorker's 2013 profile of Qassem Suleimani. He loved war and intrigue, and he died doing what he loved.

Anthony Burns (31 May 1834 – 17 July 1862) was a fugitive slave whose recapturing, extradition, and court case led to wide-scale public outcries of injustice, and ultimately, increased opposition to slavery by Northerners.

good interview

Just learned about August Willich who once challenged Marx to a duel (apparently because he thought Marx was too conservative to be a leader of international communism) before traveling to America to fight as a Union general in the civil war.

I started reading about his disagreements with Marx, but got bored.

A couple of weeks after I visited the Eagan Parkrun.

The latest Citations Needed podcast discusses Christian movies and they have Franky Schaeffer on as a guest.

Good article, I hadn't seen this connection made before.
