“(…) people who live in highly self-sufficient local communities are less likely to get involved in large-scale violence than people whose existence depends on worldwide systems of trade.”
In these days of culturally encouraged glut and consumerism, a lovely antidote from the concept of "Buddhist economics" – a way of prioritizing people over products and creativity over consumption www.themarginalian.org/2014/07/07/b...
Buddhist Economics: How to Start Prioritizing People Over Products and Creativity Over Consumption

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social.
"Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

Mamdani’s win marks a rejection of the consistently Islamophobic weaponization of antisemitism. Diehard support for the Zionist project is, finally, not a sine qua non of New York City leadership... @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/11/04/z...
They Tried to Smear Zohran Mamdani as an Antisemite. Voters Saw Right Through It.
Mamdani’s mayoral victory in New York City means so much — including the repudiation of Islamophobic attacks and weaponization of antisemitism.
