RE:: JUST ANOTHER WEEK IN THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY HELLSCAPE
 

Instead, both Thomas and Crow are part of a supremely well-funded
conspiracy operating in broad daylight called the Federalist Society
that obtains the appointments of judges who will ignore the
particulars of every case in order to accomplish through the judicial
system what the revanchist coalition of capital and church cannot hope
to accomplish in anything like a democratic fashion.

      =====

“What do last week’s stories about Clarence Thomas, the Tennessee
expulsion, and the Wisconsin election have in common that most news
reports aren’t covering? 

A: The Federalist Society’s constitutional coup.

It’s obviously corrupt for a Supreme Court justice to be enjoying
luxury vacations on a billionaire GOP donor “friend’s” dime, and
then not disclosing it. Thomas should be held accountable. Just as
it’s wrong for the Republicans in Tennessee to expel two Democratic
representatives for speaking out against gun violence. And as great as
it is for democracy, abortion rights, and more that Janet Protasiewicz
won last week’s Supreme Court judicial election in Wisconsin, it is
wrong that an outrageous partisan gerrymander has been guaranteeing
Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature a near-supermajority of seats
in a state that is split nearly evenly between the parties. Each of
these stories is major in its own right, but we cannot risk being so
outraged by one justice’s corruption, or so shocked by one
theatrical instance of legislative power abuse, or so heartened by one
thrilling victory that beats back an anti-democratic tide, that we
risk losing sight of the bigger and more consequential context that
unites every major political story of the past week: the Federalist
Society project to overturn the democratic progress of the 20th
Century."

RE: NO AMOUNT OF MONEY ERASES WHAT WE ALREADY LEARNED ABOUT FOX IN THE
DOMINION CASE
 

We might consider $787,000,000 to be chump change (given the amount of
cash that Fox has in the bank) -- but it is not. It is the largest
award ever given in a defamation lawsuit. It sends a message to other
right-wing organizations and right-wing media that might not have
pockets as deep as Fox's that there could be serious financial
consequences to their lies and misinformation.

But you wanted more. I get that. I did, too. I would have liked to see
the FOX scumbags giving testimony and being incisively cross-examined.
But perfect outcomes are rare: we don't always get everything we want.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that all the jurors would have
been liberals or progressives like us. Unfortunately, all it would
take is a couple of pro-Trump people on the jury... and Dominion would
get zilch, after having spent tens of millions pursuing the case --
and there would be *no precedent set*. And Fox did have to spend many
tens of millions of dollars defending themselves ... while suffering
significant bashing in all but the right-wing media.

So Dominion might have had to make a rational decision: risk losing
*all* and going into the hole with whopping legal fees... or avoid
such risk and have a 100% chance of exacting a considerable price from
the bad guys ($787 million dollars).

Also, it sounds like Dominion might be pursuing additional legal
cases... so Dominion's filings against Fox-related people aren't
necessarily over. And Fox is facing another serious lawsuit from
Smartmatic (another voting-machine company). Smartmatic is seeking
$2.7 billion in damages for allegedly defamatory claims about the 2020
presidential election.

We need to acknowledge hugely significant (even if imperfect)
outcomes, even if we have hoped for more... and then keep working
hard, in whatever ways each of us can, for additional victories.

RE: SIX WAYS EXISTING ECONOMIC MODELS ARE KILLING THE ECONOMY
 

Good article. Economic theory is a pseudo-science. Economics reporting
is an opaque porridge designed to, as the article says, make ordinary
people feel that they cannot understand how the economy works.

RE: TAX THE PATRIARCHY TO SUPPORT WOMEN AND FAMILIES
 

So what could we fund by creating a tax system where the wealthy
(mostly white men) and corporations (mostly led by white men) pay
their fair share? We could start by investing in women and families.

In the spirit of tax season, the National Women’s Law Center created
an interactive tax calculator that provides examples of how much
revenue could be raised by taxing the patriarchy through different tax
policies — and how that money could be used to fund public
investments in paid leave, child care, and aging and disability care,
which all of us need and deserve.

RE: ILHAN OMAR EMBARKS ON NEW PATH NO LONGER DEFINED BY ‘FIRSTS’
 

"Omar is chairing a newly formed Africa policy working group, where
she and more than a dozen House Democrats will focus on issues
concerning the continent. “We don’t agree on everything,” said
Rep. Sara Jacobs, one of the group’s members. “But we share a
similar worldview, especially when it comes to the African continent,
where we’re both really focused on U.S. engagement, not leading with
our military, but actually leading with diplomacy and centering our
values on human rights and promoting good governance.”

RE: LULA’S PLAN: A GLOBAL BATTLE AGAINST TRUMPISM
 

The recent posting on xxxxxx, "Lula's Plan: A Global Battle Against
Trumpism" by Alexander Burns makes a number of important points on how
progressives around the world can work together to blunt the
neo-fascist threat.  In his article, Burns focuses on Lula's visit to
Washington earlier this year.

What Burns did not mention is that the Brazilian president recently
met with Xi Jinping on a state visit to China.  In their meetings the
two sides reiterated their deep commitment to strengthen and deepen
their relationship.

Among the core principles the two sides agree on are two Chinese
proposals:  The Global Security Initiative and the Global Development
Initiative.  The first talks about how we can build a world order
based on peace, respect, and non-interference in other countries'
affairs; the second describes how the major world's major problems
stem from a highly distorted model of economic relations that can
ameliorated by a worldwide commitment to raising the living standards
and modernizing the societies of all people in a fair and equal way.

It is of crucial importance that progressives learn more about these
two frameworks.  Both are repudiations of the United States-dominated
capitalist world order.

David

      =====

IMO the key question of this century is not survival or fascism or
neoliberalism, though these questions will frame our lives - already
do. The key question is renewing democracy on the basis of working
class interest. But up to now democracy has been framed by the rise
of capitalism and capitalist nation-states. That's about played out.
The battle over US hegemony is big, but not decisive.  We're stuck
fighting for reform, big and small, short of a revolutionary situation
which is still not in sight. But the demand that is overshadowing
all others, in terms of means, ends and agency, is empowering the vast
majority and disempowering the exploiters and swindlers nationally and
on a global scale. Out of that fight comes survival, freedom, and
whatever the politicized democratic populace calls socialism.

RE: ONE CAMP AT A TIME, A SEATTLE GROUP IS TRANSFORMING ITS APPROACH
TO HOMELESSNESS
 

The circumstances and conditions causing homelessness and addiction
must be honestly and completely identified. Those causes must be
addressed by community as represented by government.

Gina Klein
Posted on xxxxxx's Facebook page
[[link removed]]r

      =====

This strategy that is being tried in Seattle actually makes sense,
I've been advocating for something like this for years.  Present the
individuals with a range of options, but staying in the "camp" is not
among them.   Those who are in serious mental health or drug
dependency issues (often it's both together) can't simply be lumped
together with other people who are functional but homeless because of
personal economics, due to job loss, extreme cost of rent, medical
expenses, etc., that would never work.

However, the question I have is, $billions have "disappeared" into
various supposed homeless related organizations and projects, but
where has that money actually gone?  The term "homeless industrial
complex" is becoming evermore reflective of the real circumstances.

Many people, myself included, do want to see reasonable, realistic
programs for the homeless, but also want to see some accountability,
which seems to be sorely lacking.

I'm open to any thoughts you might want to express . . .

our presidents and their police operatives are not and have not been

LBJ's political trade off was pushing the civil rights bill through
Congress on the one hand and escalating the war and approving Vietnam
genocide on the other while letting Hoover loose to do his dirty work.
He knew very well that the CIA had murdered JFK so this was a
president who knew what he had to do in order to avoid getting killed.

BEEN CONSISTENT AND DIRECT. HUMANITY, HE TELLS US IS "JUST ONE
MISUNDERSTANDING, ONE MISCALCULATION AWAY FROM NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION".

REMARKABLE TOO BECAUSE DANIEL ELLSBERG, THE MAN WHO RELEASED THE
PENTAGON PAPERS THAT EXPOSED THE BRUTAL REALITY OF THE VIETNAM WAR AND
SET IN TRAIN THE EVENTS THAT LED TO PRESIDENT NIXON'S IMPEACHMENT, IS
READY TO SPEAK. 

RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH INOPERABLE CANCER AND GIVEN ONLY A FEW MONTHS

SPEAKERS:

* DAN ELLSBERG worked on the top-secret McNamara study of U.S.
Decision-making in Vietnam, 1945-68 (the Pentagon Papers). Considered
the most promising young nuclear strategist in the US, he achieved
fame by releasing the Pentagon Papers, the highly classified story of
the Vietnam War. Facing a possible sentence of 115 years, his trial
was dismissed in 1973 on grounds of governmental misconduct against
him, which led to the convictions of several White House aides, which
contributed to the impeachment proceedings against President Nixon. He
has since engaged in numerous acts of civil disobedience often
resulting in jail terms. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize several
times, he is the author of two acclaimed books: Secrets: Memoir of the
Vietnam War and the Pentagon Papers (2003) and The Doomsday Machine:
Confession of a Nuclear War Planner (2017). He has recently been
diagnosed with inoperable cancer and given only a few months to
live. 

* RICHARD FALK is Albert G. Milbank Professor Emeritus of
International Law at Princeton University, Chair of Global Law,
Faculty of Law, at Queen Mary University London, and co-Director of
its Centre of Environmental Justice and Crime. He served as UN Special
Rapporteur on Human Rights in Occupied Palestine. Author of many
influential books, his memoir, Public Intellectual: The Life of a
Citizen Pilgrim was published in 2021. 

* ZIA MIAN is a physicist and co-director of Princeton University's
Program on Science and Global Security, part of the School of Public
and International Affairs, where he has worked since 1997. His
research interests include issues of nuclear arms control,
nonproliferation and disarmament and international peace and security.
Mian is the co-author of Unmaking the Bomb (MIT Press, 2014), editor
and co-editor of several books, and author and co-author of academic
and policy articles. In addition to his writing, he has made two
documentary films on peace and security in South Asia.
