NEW on “Paper Trail”: You may have heard that President Trump did not attend his eldest son’s wedding. But you know who did? A Russian oligarch with close ties to Putin.
And he didn’t just attend the wedding — he bankrolled it. Listen to how we found out:

Climate Change 2:
People treating this summer's heatwaves as anomalous have their heads buried in (hot) sand;
Those declaring there is nothing we can now do to change course, having previously denied climate change at all, must be ignored
With political will we *can* engineer a Green Transition; we have the technologies, we can find the money, but what we lack is a political class who will show sustained climate leadership!

I hope people understand that there are, right now, in the United States, concentration camps where people the U.S. government doesn't like or finds convenient to scapegoat are being sent to die.
Because maybe if people understand that, then they will also understand that our last chance to put the brakes on this without at best a hot civil war, and at worst a world war, is FOR EVERY VOTER IN EVERY STATE TO SHOW UP IN NOVEMBER AND VOTE AGAINST THE FASCISTS.

A useful book for putting this variety of influencer (Blumenthal) into perspective is here:

A true story which more than painting one side this way or that, exposes the time-honoured (and some highly creative) methods by which 'influencers' are influenced.
You will never look at anyone in power the same again.

BOOK TO READ
"A Merry Life and A Short One" is my collection of writings about pirates as examples of anarchists. It consequently sets out to discuss and describe both pirates and anarchy for the general reader in order to make relevant connections between them. I think its the best thing I have ever written but that's probably up to the reader to decide. Recommended for anyone who wants to think about pirates or anarchy and their consequences or how to fight back against oppressive politics.

I don't understand why the concept of economic violence isn't more mainstream. Few people seem to use it, even in academic and activist circles.
We have enough resources to give everyone a decent life. Not taking those resources to share them with everyone is a conscious choice by the state and other actors of power.
When we do austerity politics, it is a form of economic violence: common folk are asked to suffer in ways that can be extreme (and lethal) so that the rich don't have to share.
Words hold power, and labeling things correctly helps give them more meaning. Austerity is an euphemism. Economic violence is more descriptive.
