For a party starting out, the so-called 'Your Party' seems to be suffering its fair share of birthing pains...
Given the urgency of supporting a strong voice on the Left, and the position staked out by Zac Polanski for the Green Party of England & Wales, and the position of the Scottish Greens, its yet more evidence that those on the left of politics might be better hitching their wagon to the Green Parties, than Your Party if they want to get to it quickly!

"#Epstein’s human trafficking organization depended entirely on the wealth management industry (WMI). It was how he obtained the capital to build it, and it was how he hid his activities from the authorities. And none of this was an abuse of the industry; it is precisely how the WMI is designed to work. Nor is it an abuse of the law, because both American and international law has been carefully designed to accomodate the WMI."

Capitalism Enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s Crimes
The strategies Jeffrey Epstein used to hide the money funding his sex trafficking organization were perfectly legal. In fact, they are the same legal strategies that most of the top 0.1% uses to avoid taxes and other regulations.jacobin.com

"After I had conversations with insiders, the consensus is that Trump will go to war against Venezuela if he can't tamp down the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein inquiry by the MAGA base.
Keep looking for Trump posts regarding Venezuela...
Trump WILL resort to using bombs to change the national dialog - keep your eyes on the SOUTH!"

Saying goodbye to comet A6 Lemmon. It's getting very low, and clouds are increasing in southern New Mexico.
It was a remarkable run of many clear nights.
This is a single exposure on a fixed tripod.
There's a blurred silhouette of a power line, and satellite trails in this image. They belong in the frame because this is the world we have created. It's getting increasingly difficult to escape to pristine nature.
Perhaps the phrase 'pristine nature' is now an oxymoron?
When is the first No Kings General Strike?
We all need to help with community building and boosting civic engagement. These activities have atrophied for decades, and it shows.

NEW: “No Separation Between Church and State”: Inside a Texas Church’s Training Academy for Christians Running for Office
--
A Fort Worth church’s candidate training program is the “next stage” of a religion-driven political movement, which has more latitude now that the IRS has allowed religious leaders to endorse candidates from the pulpit, an expert said.

Why do too many (Anglophone) centrist-leftish parties feel so hollow?
Geoff Mulgan thinks it’s
- tactics over strategy
- incumbency bias
- business capture
- a loss of connection to the Arts and culture
- a low energy equilibrium when communicating with voters and activists
Whatever you think of his ideas, you can’t accuse Zohran Mamdani of any of this.

I mean...it *sounds* like a good idea. I for one could really use a check from the government right now. But how come we've never heard anything about this "plan" before? (???)

Air traffic controllers start resigning as shutdown bites
Overtaxed and unpaid air traffic controllers are resigning “every day” due to stress from the government shutdown.
“Controllers are resigning every day now because of the prolonged nature of the shutdown,” Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, told CNN.
“We hadn’t seen that before. And we’re also 400 controllers short—shorter than we were in the 2019 shutdown.”
Air traffic controllers are federal workers, which means they are part of the approximately 730,000 federal employees working without pay since the shutdown began on Oct. 1.

Jesus HOPPING christ.
If you're a constituent, flood Schumer's inbox. Flood all their inboxes. Better yet, call them. Holy fuck.
Why Does Schumer Keep Trying to Cave?
How the Senate Democratic leader and his Gang of Eight keep trying to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Here’s what occurred. It has been widely assumed that the group of eight mostly centrist Senate Democrats, who have been looking to broker a hollow deal on Republican terms, were free-lancing. In fact, they were acting with the express approval of Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and were reporting to him daily.

They don't want the government opening back up. Certainly not this year. Maybe not at all.
