Taking their priorities seriously would mean broadening what we expect from the classroom. Schools should put what students can do on equal footing with what they know, embedding real skills in academic learning rather than leaving them to chance or sequencing them to later in life. Schools should reconnect with the communities they serve, so young people learn through and about the places where they live. And they should reanimate the character-forming, developmental mission a pluralistic democracy requires. Federal policy has an essential role to play in public education: protecting civil rights, funding quality data and research, and encouraging promising practices to spread. But the formative mission cannot be mandated by Washington. Belonging, the foundation of both learning and civic commitment, is relational and starts local; it cannot be standardized or scaled, but must be cultivated by schools that are responsive to the communities they serve. It’s not a fully-fleshed out vision for education, to be sure, but it does gesture at something quite different from the technocratic one that schools have spent the last few decades delivering -- and delivering via education technology, via a machinery that shapes the form and increasingly the content, the curricula and the pedagogy. Funny, for all the invocation of "the future of education" from ed-tech evangelists and testing companies and politicians, they're almost always talking about the past, or at least about much older narratives of what that future might look like. (And in doing so, they ignore that computers have been ubiquitous in classrooms for a very very long time now.)"]]]> rosswiener education schools schooling nclb 2026 audrey watters policy schoolreform reform civilrights technocracy pedagogy curriculum edtech teaching howweteach democracy belonging civics pluralism academics learning howwelearn https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:b31695b25cce/ Tied Up in Knots -

History, time, wealth, geography, and countless other factors will shape how communities evolve and develop. But while good zoning is not sufficient, it is necessary. Most important, it’s something that we control. And that makes it the key to building the cities and towns that we long for. This disclaimer is itself necessary but insufficient. Zoning may be what American cities control, but that is largely because their power over so much else has been stripped away by federal and state policy and budget reforms. The high point of American planning was likely the New Deal, when government not only directed private capital but built new social infrastructure on a monumental scale. The historian Joel Schwartz has called the 1930s in New York City “a decade where everyone dabbled at planning.” Advocates for a Green New Deal seek to revive this era of decisive state action and implicitly critique the notion that zoning is the pinnacle of planning. American planning is so tethered to zoning in large part because it is the last option available. Sure, it might be better for cities to build mass social housing, but with the resources they have, an upzoning will do. Yes, it might be best to build high-speed rail lines and streetcars across the nation, but reducing parking mandates is a start. Certainly we would like to rebuild large urban commons for community farming, but for now we can at least relax rules against keeping chickens and bees. To move beyond these limited horizons, we need politics: political movements of organized people fighting for their interests and contesting those who exploit them. Rezoning should be a component of those politics, but it cannot be their sum. Even if it were, any major rezoning effort is sure to encounter resistance. Reshaping the city takes power, not just policy."]]> samuelstein 2025 cities urban urbanism planning urbanplanning development deregulation zoning reform housing yimby yimbys yimbyism ezraklein derekthompson abundance abundancenetwork abundancemovement via:javierarbona california gavinnewsom ericadams nyc democrats affordability zohranmamdani thepowerbroker sarabronin sanfrancisco policy houston nimby nimbyism nimbys property privatization rentcontrol publicowership publichousing theastergates highline upzoning rezoning vacancies power greennewdeal construction urbandevelopment joelschwartz hartford poverty inequality population demographics pittsburgh tenants minneapolis abundanceagenda https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:9d4853d837d9/ Can we 'reform' the City Charter without addressing economic inequality? - 48 hills 2025-11-12T06:01:47+00:00 https://48hills.org/2025/11/can-we-reform-the-city-charter-without-addressing-economic-inequality/ robertogreco timredmond sanfrancisco governance government mayorship economics inequality reform spur seanelsbernd citycharter power money influence billionaires progressive progressivism tomammiano londonbreed rafaelmandelman daniellurie williebrown history directdemocracy harrybritt accountability neoliberalism deregulation regulation sfmta muni administration 2025 yimby yimbys yimbyism https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:f056fbbaa5b2/ Building a Ruin: The Cold War Politics of Soviet Economic Reform, by Yakov Feygin (2024) — Harvard University Press 2025-11-11T17:19:33+00:00 https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674240995 robertogreco 2024 yakovfeygin ussr sovietunion economics history reform coldwar democracy socialism communism stagnation instability collapse russia politics policy stalinism society consumerism consumption mickhailgorbachev economy yakovkronrod nikitakhrushchev workers economicreform https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:1b83367ca16c/ Drs.

The land is common to all. All have the same right to it, but there is good land and bad land, and every one would like to take the good land. How is one to do in order to get it justly divided? In this way: he that will use the good land must pay those who have got no land the value of the land he uses. Such a project was for Tolstoy intrinsically religious, moreover, and, as Wenzer states, “[t]he Georgist commune was to eventually develop into what Tolstoy envisioned as a mirror image of heaven on an earth with man and all creatures living in concord.” Through the rejection of violence and the building of a peaceful agrarian society in accordance with Georgist principles, Tolstoy believed that the Christian task of creating the kingdom of God could be accomplished, not as a longed-for afterlife, but as a living, historic reality. In the decade leading up to Tolstoy’s death, Russian society spiraled in ever-greater unrest. Peasants rose up against the authorities, socialists and communists proliferated, and the government used horrific violence to control the populace. “Tolstoy’s fears had become a monstrous reality,” writes Wenzer. “People were suffering even more, and blood was pouring in the streets.” Tolstoy, then in his late seventies, continued writing at a furious pace in a desperate effort to save his country. He went so far as to write letters to Tsar Nicholas II and Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich advocating for Georgist land reform. He scorned socialist and democratic solutions, believing that only the tsar could solve the situation by unilaterally going above government hierarchy to implement the reforms that could save Russia before it was too late. Tolstoy died, at eighty-two, in a railway station on November 20, 1910, his words unheeded. Within the decade, Russia slipped into full-scale revolution, culminating in the Bolshevik seizure of government and the violence of the Soviet regime. The cycles of oppression led only to more bloodshed, with one government replacing another while the people suffered. Yet it’s unlikely that Tolstoy’s reforms would have proved the panacea to Russia’s ills, as complicated and systemic as they were. It’s equally questionable to what extent his positions can be implemented today. As commentators have pointed out, many of Tolstoy’s ideas about economics and politics are shallow, even incoherent. Higgs, for instance, though admiring Tolstoy’s critiques of the state, calls his understanding of economics “abysmal.” Tolstoy’s approach is frequently emotional, moreover, literary rather than intellectual. And yet it’s precisely Tolstoy’s appeal to the heart as well as the head, to the conscience as the spark of divinity in every person, that makes his words reverberate down to the present. While we might question the specifics of his platform, his criticisms of injustice and vision of an equitable society retain much of their relevance and power. Few have cared so deeply for the poor and exploited or taken the quest to both know and live out truth more seriously than he, and harmony can’t be achieved otherwise. History will go on; not even a Tolstoy could shift its bloody wheels. But we can always seek truth. As Tolstoy wrote, “The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity by contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God, which can only be done by the recognition and profession of the truth.”"]]> anarchism tolstoy christianity christiananarchism 2025 life society economics politics benwoollard inequality rural nikolaimikhailovich henrygeorge georgism power government kennethwenzer irinapaperno milivoystanoyevich freedom autonomy roberthiggs love truth rbfowler liberalism liberty anarchy peterkropotkin rousseau pierre-josephproudhon proudhon charlesfourier poverty homelessness russia norms civilization doctrine church orthodoxy participatory participation work workers labor eattherich wealth wealthaccumulation accumulation exploitation taxation taxes property gandhi idleness class thekingdomofgodiswithinyou nicenecreed injustice justice production institutions deceit ethics pacifism violence state suppression conscription resistance landreform land tsarnicholasii socialism democracy hierarchy reform reforms equity charity suffering 1886 nature humannature governance hamony sermononthemount reason consience loveofall liberation materialism parasites agriculture science art castes hierarchies intellectua https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d0062d50c51d/ Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate 2025-06-15T21:38:17+00:00 https://organizingmythoughts.org/protest-power-and-the-violence-debate/ robertogreco 2025 kellyhayes protest protests power violence cooperation massprotest donaldtrump blacklivesmatter 2020 georgefloyd olúfẹ́mitáíwò radicalism minneapolis isolation crisis mainstream authority authoritarianism elitecapture cooptation co-optation repression liberals liberalism disruption joebiden democrats politics reform reformism defunding defundthepolice mlk martinlutherkingjr us government governance cointelpro infiltration civilrightsmovement barbararansby race racism whitelash charlottesville 2021 heatherheyer deonaknajdek politicians ruthwilsongilmore pipelines kaylanamueller-hsia dakotaaccesspipeline patriotact standingrock carceralstate abolition abolitionism waterprotestors tarahouska incarceration prisonabolition landprotectors tortuguita venezuela indigeneity indigenous extinctionrebellion uk criminalization piaklemp savethechildren doctorswithoutborders ngos jugendrettet sea-watch carolarackete annehidalgo sustainability climatecrisis climatechange globalwarming environment par https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e71b86f4496d/ How China Escaped Shock Therapy: The Market Reform Debate - 1st Editio 2025-05-29T18:47:37+00:00 https://www.routledge.com/How-China-Escaped-Shock-Therapy-The-Market-Reform-Debate/Weber/p/book/9781032008493 robertogreco china shocktherapy 2021 isabellaweber economics worldbank russia economy neoliberalism reform https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:5bf57033ec47/ The Real Path to Abundance - Boston Review 2025-05-29T18:45:48+00:00 https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/the-real-path-to-abundance/ robertogreco sandeepvaheesan 2025 abundance liberalism ecology capitalism environment ezraklein derekthompson neoliberalism climate climatechange zoning reform housing politics politicaleconomy economics democracy cleanenergy regulation renewables texxas california zoining policy enviroment markets joebiden privatization georgia nuclearenergy energy deregulation government at&t history investment research epa nepa inequality thomaspiketty taxes taxation siliconvalley us abundanceagenda privatesector hsr highspeedrail railways rail infrastucture china tennesseevalleyauthority tva abundancenetwork abundancemovement accelerationism progressivism technosolutionism yimby yimbyism yimbys https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:47ba7bafd58e/ How could Pope Leo XIV reshape the Catholic Church? | The Take - YouTube 2025-05-14T19:10:48+00:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q7EbAMtvjE robertogreco catholicism catholicachurch popeleoxiv robertprevost 2025 hodaabdel-hamid popefrancis us politics religion farright rightwing natashadeltoro chicago change reform immigration populism latinamerica giorgiameloni donaldtrump climatechange climate globalwarming economics europe jdvance stevebannon nationality perú argentina internationalism https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:e9bb91a25a71/ James C.

Instead, Gov. Greg Abbott and allies emphasized parental rights and personalized learning. They also leaned on the culture war issues that have dominated the Trump era, arguing that vouchers would allow families to escape liberal teachings on gender, sexuality and race. This has been one of the most obvious shifts in ed reform debates since the high-water mark of liberal zeal for school reform during the middle of the Obama administration. Private school vouchers became more directly right-wing coded as liberals doubled down on charter schools, and as they did, school quality improvements ceased to be a central argument in their favor. In part, this was because conservatives cared about other values, in part it was because “freedom” and “choice” proved to be a more effective sales pitch, and in part it was because the research record regarding school vouchers is truly dismal. I must admit that, as much as I hate the whole agenda - public funds should be used for public schools, not private enterprise, and particularly not for religious indoctrination - there’s something refreshing about this abandonment of equality jargon as a justification for ed policy. Typically school reform types hold on to their justice rhetoric like death. It makes me think of a bit of a counternarrative that I’ve heard about charters over the years, actually. Charter schools have been wrapped up in liberatory language for so long it’s hard to extricate the concept from that packaging. Core to that promise is the “no child left behind” element, the idea that the school reform movement has a deep moral duty to save each and every kid and that the various tools school districts and states have used to shuffle poorly-performing students off the books are immoral.1 It’s for that reason that longstanding and serious concerns about how charter schools manipulate their student bodies are so morally challenging for the movement; if it’s true that the best charter schools develop that reputation by getting selective with admissions in a way public schools can’t, it directly undermines their claims to being part of a righteous reform movement. But as the years have passed since my first book came out and I’ve talked to more and more people from various places in the educational landscape, I’ve heard from a few charter-adjacent people - a half-dozen parents maybe, a handful of teachers and administrators - who actually affirm the very thing that I’ve been accusing charters of for years: that they exist as a tool to prune incoming student bodies, using various tricks to keep out the students who are hardest to educate. A few brave souls have told me, in fact, that such exclusionary behavior is exactly the point. Exactly the point, that is, because in this telling it’s precisely the universal guarantee of public education that ruins everything. To hear these rare advocates tell it, a central problem with struggling schools and districts is that the students who don’t care and don’t want to be there are disruptive of the whole enterprise, ruining it for everyone else. This is a hard matter to prove empirically - like just about everything else in the research record, the evidence for peer effects is far more muted than you’d guess based on rhetoric - but certainly in the broader social sense feels intuitively compelling. It’s hard to run a school with violence issues, hard to give adequate attention to students who need it when constantly diverted to behavioral problems, hard to justify using resources on students who plainly don’t want to be there. So for those charter advocates, the selection bias is a feature, not a bug. The whole point is to give the kids who care a chance to escape from the places that have to warehouse the kids who don’t. I think that this is also quietly at play with the deeper question of whether school really has much impact on quantitative metrics at all. As I tell people all the time, parents have almost literally zero sense of a given school’s educational quality, despite evincing total confidence in that understanding; I personally believe that school quality (as defined as the ability to manipulate quantitative metrics and relative placement in the performance distribution!) is largely illusory, but even if you don’t agree, sorting out what’s input and what’s output is really challenging. I often want to ask parents who are sending their kids to Montessori or whatever if they’re really confident that it’s going to result in better learning outcomes for their kid; I suspect that they know that their kid is going to flourish anywhere. (Parents tend to understand the inelasticity of school outcomes when it comes to their own kid, even if that reality remains untenable as a broader observation; they don’t expect their child to bounce around from A student to D and back again, they expect their child to perform as well as they always have.) Which again speaks to a part of all this that usually goes unspoken, for obvious reasons: a lot of parents, even progressive parents, just don’t want their kids to go to school with the wrong sort. Sometimes that’s explicitly racist and classist. More often, I suspect, it’s inchoate and vague. But still powerful. Which brings me to private school generally. One important point about American education that I think often goes under the radar: private school teachers, in general, get paid less than their public school counterparts. Often a lot less, with typical estimates for median pay gap around $15-$20k a year. And even this is a little distorted, given that the priciest private academies will often pay dramatic outlier salaries to their teachers, bending the average up. This is all true despite the fact that there isn’t any particular pedagogical difference between public and private; while there are specific private school traditions like Montessori that have some systematic pedagogical differences, private schools generally teach the same material in about the same way as public. (You’ll note that ed reform boilerplate is almost always about teacher hiring and firing decisions, tenure, pay, “accountability,” etc. - that is, administrative issues, not pedagogical.) So why would private school teachers accept such a scenario, making much less money than their public counterparts while doing more or less the same thing in the classroom? The answer, of course, is that private schools screen out the hardest-to-educate kids, making the job of a teacher much more attractive. I don’t think this is some libelous argument. The costs of private school alone tend to make the student bodies much easier to manage, many have onerous application processes that can require a transcript review and/or testing, many have requirements regarding past attendance and behavior, and with a few exceptions related to federally-prohibited discrimination, they can refuse any students they choose. Private schools also rarely offer special education services unless they are specifically dedicated to that task, and practically speaking they have far less onerous standards to meet if parents allege that their special education student’s needs aren’t being met. (Special ed is, for the record, the biggest source of supposed cost and efficiency advantages that private schools have over public; special ed cost public schools $50 billion a year… a quarter century ago.) In general, private school student bodies are far richer and whiter than public, with dramatically lower behavior and attendance problems and with more engaged and dedicated parents. This is what private school teachers are getting in exchange for lower salaries; it’s just a far easier job thanks to the differences in who you’re teaching. And so consider now the longstanding libertarian dream of getting rid of government-funded and run schools altogether and just distributing money to parents to pay for private schooling. This doesn’t work for a variety of reasons, and the special ed point is a good example of why; like a lot of government-funded enterprise, K-12 schooling relies on pooling money together to pay for costs that are unequal from student to student. (That is to say, a kid/the parents of a kid who’s not in special ed, doesn’t have serious behavioral problems, and doesn’t require remediation are in a certain sense subsidizing those who do.) There’s also the fact that, as the NYT piece says, in many contexts the introduction of private school vouchers simply incentivizes local private schools to raise their prices. But those private school teachers and their worse salaries, worse job security, and lack of labor power point to the bigger problem: the whole enterprise of private school is built on exclusion. Parents don’t like private school despite the fact that private schools exclude certain kinds of students. They like private schools because they exclude certain kinds of students. Switch the United States to an all-voucher system, and suddenly you’re threatening both what parents like about sending their kids to private school and what private school employees like about working in them. This, again, is a case of where having a big educational network has helped me hear the quiet part out loud. Talk to some people involved in the world of private education, and you’ll note a great deal of ambivalence towards the idea of a vastly larger world of vouchers. Of course they’d like to get their hands on some tax dollars. But very few are eager to simply become the workforce of a new de facto public school system; that’s not what they got into private education for, and it’s certainly not why most parents like private schools. I know that some will treat this as a terribly inflammatory set of statements, but it’s simply the case that what defines the sales job for private school is the fact that it is not public school. And voucher programs already underline that fact. The Times piece points out that “new schools founded to take advantage of private-school choice policies have sometimes struggled to find their footing and shut down quickly, sending students back into public education.” Why are new schools necessary when voucher programs have tended to remain limited in size, relative to public schooling? Because in general, private schools that accept vouchers are not necessarily giving up any of their usual right to selectivity - meaning that parents might be newly armed with money, but unable to spend it at the schools of their choice. An inevitable outcome of a vast new voucher system is going to be a mushrooming number of shitty, fly-by-night schools that exist simply to sop up loose voucher cash. The “good” private schools will remain out of reach to most families, which is imperative for those schools, because their status as “good” schools depends on having good student bodies, that is, on their continuing to exclude marginal students. And once we understand this, we’re really putting a ton of weight on the value of CHOICE in and of itself. Is that really what parents crave, choice? Or is it the choice to get into a good school? And are they prepared to grapple with the question of whether good schools are good precisely because they exclude the hardest-to-educate students? Two things that sit in tension with each other: government-funded and run universal education for all children is one of the best things this country ever did, and exclusion has always been core to education and how it functions. I am a big, big fan of compulsory public education for children, even though I think that students should be able to drop out sooner than policy currently allows. That surprises some people, given that I think that different individual students have different individual levels of academic potential and this potential seems largely static. But that’s only a knock against universal education if you think the point is for everyone to become an academic star, which is the opposite of what I think. The fact remains, though, that for most the world’s history, before reformers like John Dewey spread the gospel of universal potential, very few assumed that education had an egalitarian purpose at all. Education, for much of the world’s history, has been fundamentally about preparing an already-blessed elite. And while that assumption came packaged with all manner of noxious attitudes, the rise of egalitarian educational rhetoric has brought with it the many distributional paradoxes I’m forever pointing out. It remains true that there’s only room for 1% of students in the academic 1%, and that it will never be possible for every student - and every school - to be above average. High school kids who get rejected from their dream college might cry for the missed opportunity. But they still don’t wish that the school would drop all of its selectivity and start accepting every student who applies; part of what they dreamed of, after all, was being blessed by that selectivity. Something like that is happening with private school too, where more and more vouchers are inevitably going to make plain the reality that what parents want for their kids is precisely to set them up in an ivory tower that those other kids can’t climb into."]]> freddiedeboer 2025 school education policy inequality segregation class vouchers charterschools gregabbott schoolchoice edreform reform barackobama donaldtrump republicans democrats achievement metrics privateschools independentschools accountability religion specialeducation specialed accessibility gatekeeping libertarianism economics society publicschools efficiency pedagogy teaching howweteach discrimination us nytimes selectivity universaleducation government governance compulsory privatization johndewey elitism elite exclusivity exclusion labor work unions schooling wealth wealthinequality classism racism race outcomes schoolreform relgion indoctrination https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ccfc98b9f130/ Five Ways Pope Francis, Religious Leader Who Pushed to Modernize the Catholic Church, Was a Man of Firsts 2025-04-24T04:41:54+00:00 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/five-ways-pope-francis-religious-leader-who-pushed-to-modernize-the-catholic-church-was-man-of-firsts-180983379/ robertogreco christopherparker meilansolly popefrancis 2025 catholicism catholicchurch reform latinamerica jesuits environment earth climate climatechange globalwarming environmentalism ecology laudatosi' lgbtq gender women change jorgemariobergoglio jorgebergoglio https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d526b8101381/ Can an Activist Revolutionize Government From the Inside? — The Dial 2025-02-03T02:52:48+00:00 https://www.thedial.world/articles/news/issue-24/rodrigo-mundaca-chile robertogreco rodrigomundaca chile 2025 modatima valparaíso 2021 2024 gabrielboric activism neoliberalism 2022 constitution politics policy fakenews reform 2010 2014 government catalinalillo 1990s santiago camilazarate society juanpabloorrego patagonia pandemic covid-19 coronavirus law legal evelynmatthei desalination water fire fires wildfires ollascomunes resources recovery lissettesamit sammyfeldblum https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:4338b8c83d15/ What Happened When America Emptied Its Youth Prisons -

In Race for Profit, @KeeangaYamahtta shows that even during HUD’s most activist period (under George Romney from 1969-1973), the agency was never truly empowered to integrate the suburbs or promote inner-city home ownership in a way that wasn’t predatory toward Black residents. Attempts to enforce fair housing policies on a case by case basis encounter a private real estate market thoroughly infused with racism and racial segregation - from the real estate market’s foundations through each stage of its development. [image of text from book] As landlords eagerly await eviction moratoria to end and eviction courts to open, we ought to consider reforms and tactics that *constrain and reduce the size and scope* of the private real estate market, not proposals that simply make appeals within its racist boundaries. • pass rent control Use state power to cut into landlords’ profits, and reduce tenants’ monthly housing costs • de-commodify housing • expand public housing Take housing out of the private marketplace and make housing a public good guaranteed by right • seize or occupy vacant, investor or speculator-owned properties through direct action - @moms4housing https://www.latimes.com/homeless-housing/story/2020-03-14/homeless-moms-occupy-house-los-angeles-caltrans-coronavirus-pandemic
Another group of homeless moms and families are taking over a house — this time in L.A.: Fearing the coronavirus outbreak and inspired by a similar occupation in Oakland, homeless residents moved into an El Sereno home owned by Caltrans.
• form tenant collectives with the capacity to go on rent strike or collectively block evictions - @SyracuseTenants, @PBCTenantsUnion, @StompSlumlords, @LATenantsUnion, there are many across the country that I’m missing There is an analogy to police and prison abolition. Are proposals reformist reforms that reinforce the existing system (additional funding for body cameras or re-training) or non-reformist reforms that move society closer to abolition and socialism? This is not to mention that police are always the shock troops and first line of defense for real estate values and private property. https://blubrry.com/jacobin/28667783/the-dig-policing-for-the-market-with-brenden-beck/ “]]> 2020 michaelkelly housing donaldtrump affh landlords propery policy activism organizing moms4housing tenantcollectives reform redlining segregation homes keeanga-yamahttataylor https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:da5b6c21748d/ How I Became a Police Abolitionist - The Atlantic 2020-07-14T04:45:58+00:00 https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/how-i-became-police-abolitionist/613540/ robertogreco dereckapurnell prisonabolition policeabolition us acabspring violence inequality society lawenforcement race racism reform policereform michellealexander ferguson missouri barackobama paulbutler donaldtrump occupywallstreet ows joebiden jimcrow history webdubois michaelbrown rachelherzing mariamekaba transformativejustice restorativejustice https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:d12170e16f78/ Rivers Solomon on Twitter: "Loving how the conversation has expanded from police and prison abolition to the abolition of oppressive institutions more broadly - nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals/facilities, group homes.
