This is Linda Davis, a special education teacher who was killed in a car crash involving ICE agents The agents didn’t render aid. She was minutes from her school and bled to death in her car. They didn’t offer aid to Renee Good or Alex Pretti either. Say her name too.

Che Guevara once said “The walls of the educational system must come down. Education should not be a privilege, so the children of those who have money can study.” This is why we provide what we publish for free in pdf and otherwise as cheaply as possible.

Constance Baker Motley, part of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund team, was often the first Black lawyer and the first woman to argue in Southern courts. In 1966, she become the first Black woman appointed as a federal judge. I was honored to serve as her law clerk in 1980-1981.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we recognize Constance Baker Motley, a trailblazer in CT and the Civil Rights Movement. She was the first Black woman to argue before the Supreme Court and wrote the original complaint in Brown v. Board of Education, which is why I support legislation to honor her with a Congressional Gold Medal.

I came across this "critique" of degrowth today in Catalyst magazine, by two prominent writers. I was struck by how wildly incorrect it is. Degrowth does *not* proceed from the position that there is "already more than enough wealth in the world"... which here seems to mean "the stuff we need to live good lives is already produced and just needs to be distributed better." Totally wrong. Everyone with any sense can see there are critical shortages of basic things like housing, sanitation systems, healthcare, public transit, etc. In reality, degrowth proceeds from the position that there is already more than enough *productive capacity*. The problem is that capital controls that productive capacity (the labour, resources, factories, etc), and therefore produces what is profitable to capital... so we get massive overproduction of SUVs, weapons, mansions, etc, with devastating ecological consequences... and we get chronic shortages of obviously necessary things because they are less profitable or not profitable at all. The solution is to reclaim democratic control over the means of production, overcome the capitalist law of value, and organize production around social and ecological goals (in other words, socialism). This must include, and indeed is enabled by, degrowing damaging and unnecessary production. With this approach, we know it is possible to ensure good lives for all 8 billion people on this planet (including supplying all the "core goods" these authors call for) with *less* total resource use and energy use, and less total output, than the world economy presently produces. This is clearly *not* just about "moving numbers around" (what a bizarre claim!). It's about transforming the ownership and direction of production.
