“Latin American reformers know that the way to beat today’s new fascists is the same as it was in the 1930s and 1940s… in a voice simple, clear and sure, to improve the material conditions of people’s lives.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Love fest for @candida_alvarez_studio — this overdue retrospective exhibition at @elmuseo squarely demonstrates the incredible range of this genius artist. So, proud! Don’t miss it — you’ll be awed by her use of color, materials, and themes over the years, as well as her humor and immense humanity.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism.
This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

Title: What Costs More: Billionaire Tax Avoidance or Federal Workers? Subtitle: Musk’s tax avoidance could fund 677K federal jobs • Current Tax Rate: 3.27% • Top Federal Tax Rate: 37% Cost Comparison (Bar Chart): • Cost of Musk’s Tax Avoidance (smallest bar, purple) • Cost of Top 100 Billionaires’ Tax Avoidance (largest bar, red) • Total Federal Workforce Salaries (mid-sized bar, green) X-axis ranges from $0B to $380B, showing that billionaire tax avoidance covers a significant portion of federal workforce salaries. Impact on Federal Workforce: • Average Federal Salary: $106,000 • Jobs Musk’s Avoidance Could Fund: 677,782 (29.5% of all federal employees) Federal Workforce Breakdown (Pie Chart): • A segment representing 29.5% of the workforce highlights the share Musk’s avoided taxes could fund, labeled “Share Equal to Musk’s Avoided Taxes: 29.5%”. Sources: • Musk’s Tax Rate: ProPublica • Billionaire Gains: Bloomberg Billionaires Index (Dec. 31, 2024) • Federal Employee Data: USAFacts
How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?
Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.
Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.
Same in Latin America- people would be stopping traffic in the streets and sounding off their cacerolas.

I was honored to receive the 2025 MLK Humanitarian Award from New York University last night. In my remarks, I noted that to receive an award bearing Dr. King's name is both humbling and challenging for, in this critical moment, his legacy demands of us not mere words, but action and courage. 🧵
