When we launched @TheNextSystem in 2015, our contention that we face a crisis of the system not just local political or economic difficulties was a bold and provocative one; it’s now widely accepted in the halls of power, domestically and internationally. thenextsystem.org/download-t… – at Washington, DC

Let's give "privatization" and its cousin, the "public-private partnership," the burial they deserve. The majority of us want public services in the public domain rather than as a corporate profit center. Let's make government agencies work well for us instead.

The US used to help lead global efforts to defeat deadly diseases like polio and smallpox. We can do this again. The US must establish a full-cycle pharma research & development institute to work towards a new bottom line: the public good. #PublicPharma | bit.ly/3l2fanc

If you're looking at rolling blackouts and decrepit, corrupt private electric utilities that regularly buy off their regulators and don't think public ownership is at least worth thinking about that's just ideology talking

If the CDC and HHS can halt evictions for public health reasons they should also be able to build millions of units of permanently affordable social housing for public health reasons.
