Well-written & well worth a read. Find it at tinyurl.com/risksofextremewe…

“Sometimes you don’t survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It’s not about that solution. It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances.” — Toni Morrison✨❤️

Property is often quasi-sacralized in ownership societies, which are often blind to vast externalities that current property theories create. What ways forward? linkedin.com/posts/jayneengl…

Wherever you are in this world, and whatever tables you sit at, or whatever rooms you find yourself in, be a @RepRashida in that space. Take up space. Assert your power. Stand with and for humanity and justice. Even if you are the only one doing it.

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.
