Medicare Advantage Is Scamming You The privatized version of Medicare doesnโ€™t just provide worse care than traditional Medicareโ€”it also rips off American taxpayers with fraudulent claims. And Trump wants to double down on it.

The challenge with all privatization schemes is that the private sector doesnโ€™t aspire to save the government money. Why should it?

The worldโ€™s largest human rights organization is now affirming the growing consensus among credible experts: Israel is indeed committing genocide in Gaza.

In a better world, it wouldnโ€™t require courage to speak the truth. But in this world, Amnesty International deserves credit for speaking up!

Starter pack of people and organisations who do work on policies to promote economic democracy, primarily through social ownership and democratisation of finance. I'm sure there's a lot missing here so please give suggested additions

Next month I defend my PhD dissertation, which focuses on refining and clarifying the concept of Democratic Public Ownership. I took a deep dive into 200 plus years of economic democracy theorizing and practice, and I canโ€™t wait to start sharing some of the stuff I learned!
