The real estate industry, big banks, and the federal government collaborated on home valuation schema that tethered race to risk, denied mortgages to millions of Black and brown people, and ensured most would be trapped in a captive housing market as tenants. But Ansfield’s book studies a later wave and a novel form of extractive abandonment: insurance “brownlining.” After riots erupted in almost 2,000 cities and towns in the late 1960s, Ansfield writes, “insurance personnel were, in a real sense, capitalism’s first responders,” working in an industry that aimed to convert “black resistance … into dollars and cents.” Surveying the damage, many insurance companies declared Black neighborhoods uninsurable. Riots had forced a racial reckoning—and inspired a racial panic. The federal government cut a deal with the insurance industry that reflected both: In exchange for a government backstop of reinsurance, companies would have to offer property owners in “riot-prone” areas access to Fair Access to Insurance Requirements, or FAIR, insurance plans. But these were “subprime” insurance plans—“‘back of the bus’ insurance,” in the words of one critic. They allowed insurers to charge higher monthly premiums for inferior coverage, and their exorbitant cost meant that generally only white absentee landlords could afford them. Far from a “remedy” for racist harms, FAIR plans turned racist fears into market logic.<br/><br/>Landlords often put this logic to work. Ansfield relates the story of Imre Oberlander and Yishai Webber, who in 1975 were among the first landlords indicted for arson conspiracy in the Bronx. When the duo were pulled over because of a broken taillight, officers discovered a pair of Hasidic men in blackface—along with two explosive devices. Ansfield suspects that to Oberlander and Webber, blackface must have seemed like its own “form of insurance.” Racism provided the cover, but FAIR plans had laid the economic kindling. One study published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago suggests that in New York state, FAIR plans led to 13,000 excess fires in a single year.&#34;<br/><br/>...<br/><br/>&#34;Burned-out buildings also proved valuable for constructing the politics of law and order. “The cruel irony,” writes Ansfield, “was that to survive the fires was to become their scapegoat.” Ansfield cites Democratic New York senator and Nixon adviser Daniel Patrick Moynihan throughout the book, and it’s worth revisiting Moynihan’s thinking in further depth here. Already in 1970, in his “Memorandum on the Status of Negroes,” Moynihan had warned the Nixon administration that the country was “heading for a genuinely serious fire problem in American cities,” because, he wrote, “the types of personalities which slums produce” were prone to “fire‐setting.”&#34; <br/><br/><a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/200735/burned-bronx-arson">https://newrepublic.com/article/200735/burned-bronx-arson</a> 2025-09-24T15:32:53Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstjm8phkt7gjjx8mr3q8hffmqzj7m0wp7rp8adyq0xkv6nxayldtqzyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4yu0pmpv &#34;Green capitalism will never facilitate the scale of action that is necessary to keep warming below 1.5ºC or even 2ºC because it refuses to take on the powerful people and industries that are fueling the climate crisis in the first place. It continues to ensure the benefits flow to the top while hollowing out the middle class and producing climate narratives that shift the burden of responsibility onto those who have little power to make the necessary changes: the public, if not the global poor.&#34;<br/><br/>Reminds me of the book that just came out about who burned the Bronx. *Born In Flames* by Bench Ansfield. <br/><br/><a href="https://archive.is/tLcb9">https://archive.is/tLcb9</a><br/><br/>h/t <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1ld5xjujh2vlufttyxq55m4h7wwdgqad3995g24e6fyr267ylt2fs8363uk" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>MiniMia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇵🇸 🏴</span> (<span class="italic">npub1ld5…63uk</span>)</a></span> for the article 2025-09-24T15:29:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8z3xycnqlqud55j5vns4jy3ca4em2n0za5ucpxrwprfcmg8ueumczyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4y6xjsts Apropos of nothing, here&#39;s up and coming reggae artist Koffee with &#34;Rapture,&#34; one of my favorite songs by her. <br/><br/>&#34;Koffee come in like a rapture<br/>And everybody get capture<br/>Place lift up like helicopter<br/>When dem see di lyrics contractor&#34;<br/><br/>#music #reggae #PopMusic #Jamaica #JamaicanMusic #Koffee <br/><br/><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cm8duEzi3A#ddg-play">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cm8duEzi3A#ddg-play</a> 2025-09-23T20:12:24Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgcy5xvx42uw7hcmlrjy40ka80m4gsdalluh9czfr472m2c4txw6qzyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4ydzqstu The Guardian once again exposing why people are wary of their journalism when it comes to trans people.

Tell SUNY ESF to drop their partnership with the dangerous, unproven, and disrespectful &#34;Darling 58&#34; genetically modified chestnut tree makers SilvaBio. <br/><br/>If you read &#34;The Overstory,&#34; you may be familiar with the tale of chestnut trees in North America: afflicted by an invasive blight and then prematurely chopped down by panicking white people, to the extent that chestnut trees almost went extinct. Now this private company has been working with ESF to develop blight-resistant trees, but even though their results are poor, and even though indigenous communities of the northeast, such as the Onondaga Nation, have been urging a traditional breeding approach, and even though SilvaBio&#39;s stated intent to sell the trees for profit is in conflict with ESF&#39;s mission for &#34;all people... to propagate them for personal or restoration use,&#34; ESF has been sticking with SilvaBio. <br/><br/>#trees #ChestnutTrees #Darling58 #SUNYESF #SUNY #NewYork #NYS #NYpol <br/><br/><a href="https://globaljusticeecology.org/chestnut-pr-2025-1/">https://globaljusticeecology.org/chestnut-pr-2025-1/</a> 2025-08-04T18:48:12Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfmerxatazjgykna4ws5qpfw8lj2zlxjl5vdnyu7svf9yefukjfyszyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4yt6v374 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8ksnqh5l7wqh79gy2xxf4eapq9frnxdw2wnfpgevl50cks8p870qm7upk2'>nevent1q…upk2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nope, mostly not ironic, I&#39;m an anarchist, so are many others, and even the &#34;anarcho-capitalists&#34; who really should know better seem to be sincere in their delusion. 2025-07-30T16:05:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf82drvmx6h6z2wqxuclnad25zzja56gwuthlwrwjvcjhqjmgkanqzyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4ydyvftq Names for girls/women that just mean &#34;girl/woman&#34;: <br/><br/>-Donna (Italian, woman)<br/><br/>-Colleen (Gaelic, woman) <br/><br/>Any others?<br/><br/>ETA: not Regina.

Postmortems on Bidenomics have tended to focus on climate provisions, rising protectionism in trade, and the macroeconomics of stimulus and inflation. The limits of the administration’s “industrial policy,” touted as marking a “post-neoliberal” paradigm shift, have been extensively documented; it was always a national security program first—an ill-conceived reaction to fears of a rising China—and a pro-worker agenda second, if at all. The bigger, less talked-about picture is the long arc of ten years of failure to confront inequality after the Piketty moment in 2014. Across four key policy areas—taxation, labor standards, the welfare state, and antitrust—Democrats could have pursued a comprehensive program for combating plutocracy and empowering workers. But the opportunity was frittered away through a relentless focus on playing by the old rules of policy debate and routing reform through the usual elite channels, insulated from—and often outright hostile to—the voices and views of on-the-ground constituencies. All that came at the cost of forging a durable political coalition.&#34;<br/><br/>#Neoliberalism #USpol <br/><br/><a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-real-post-neoliberal-agenda/">https://www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-real-post-neoliberal-agenda/</a> 2025-02-13T18:56:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxz3w4zuc6m89z6yy4jjkrm9nzmcc907k6vs3ddqyfshgam0jz0lszyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4y43ll62 #3GoodThings <br/><br/>1) There was a talk at my local library about the history of transgender medicine in the USA.

Nope, they&#39;re either uninformed or lying--and I seriously urge you to go with &#34;lying&#34; as the default, in order to reduce the potential for mischief by bad actors. <br/><br/>&gt; &#34;Empirical research points therefore to an important conundrum. On the one hand, high-income countries achieve high levels of human wellbeing but significantly overshoot their fair share of planetary boundaries. The level of resource use of these high-income countries cannot be universalised. On the other hand, despite a decline in the amount of energy required to achieve human development goals, modelling decent living standards for all within planetary boundaries shows that, under existing conditions, there is very little room for excess or for inequality.<br/>&gt; This research has led to a shift of attention towards alternative provisioning systems and the types of distributional dynamics that could radically change current relationships between resource use and human wellbeing... A recent review of industrial transformation models and scenarios found that combined supply-side and demand-side measures could reduce current economy-wide material use by 56%, energy use by 40–60%, and greenhouse gas emissions by 70% to net zero.&#34;<br/><br/>#degrowth #equality <br/><br/><a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext</a> 2025-02-06T20:59:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsxsxdhxlzh9hf4z2zvn9qn387m78vmukjkp532ttrq0h93jyskq6szyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4y2zmqft In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy4qmw537nyfetg8dc48z74ewujkvqdvuk982pfct5lkkuaaqkslgm4wakc'>nevent1q…wakc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Growth as a goal for societies is basically brand new. <br/><br/>&gt; &#34;Historians and social scientists have sought to explain the origins of the political hegemony of growth: the dominance of the pursuit of GDP growth as a political objective. Growth might not be an economic imperative in the abstract, this literature suggests, but rather a political imperative, locked in by power relations, institutions, and accounting systems geared towards its pursuit. The contemporary preoccupation with GDP first emerged as a response to the need of governments to manage economic production during the Great Depression and the Second World War, whereas growth-targeting became entrenched during the Cold War, linked to the arms race between the two blocs. An iterative process between accounting and targeting, and the institutions geared towards the measurement and pursuit of GDP, gradually made growth appear as a natural and unquestionable objective. But the success of growth, as a political objective, stems from its function, which was to appease and deflect distributional conflict, becoming a core factor of state legitimacy and political stability.&#34; <br/><br/>Btw basically every sentence in this has citations, in case you want to read MORE.

In this scenario, collapse occurs later and is driven not by scarcity of non-renewable resources (ie, a source limit), as in the Standard Run, but by persistent pollution and its impact on ecosystem stability (ie, a sink limit, otherwise known as a regenerative capacity limit).&#34;<br/><br/>#DeGrowth #LimitsToGrowth <br/><br/><a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext</a> 2025-02-04T19:05:59Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvz9kkjqhl03hcta004ztyu28hk7npxp3l5xr32ftn5h5t92auxcszyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4yrcfjpd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqg0yzydzpnf0fqeekwcdkhzuusg0mhrkf87ymu260kduvqxynxfchxclxq'>nevent1q…clxq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Some choice quotes from new Lancet study on #degrowth or #PostGrowth and planetary health: <br/><br/>&#34;Doughnut, wellbeing, and steady-state economics generally position their proposals within the current capitalist system, whereas degrowth is critical of the possibilities of an egalitarian slowdown within capitalism given that capitalist competition is structurally geared towards growth. Degrowth therefore emphasises the need for a planned, democratic transformation of the economic system to drastically reduce ecological impact and inequality and improve wellbeing. Degrowth, similarly to steady-state economics, regards a lower GDP as a probable outcome of efforts to substantially reduce resource use. Reducing GDP is not a goal of these approaches, however, but, it is seen as something that economies need to be made resilient to. The Doughnut and wellbeing approaches are more agnostic about GDP growth, but still view it as a poor measure of progress. Post-growth is plural and open to all these perspectives. All approaches converge on the need for qualitative improvement without relying on quantitative growth, and on selectively decreasing the production of less necessary and more damaging goods and services, while increasing beneficial ones.&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext</a> 2025-02-04T19:02:38Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqg0yzydzpnf0fqeekwcdkhzuusg0mhrkf87ymu260kduvqxynxfczyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4y4483rg The Lancet says: #DEGROWTH NOW! <br/><br/>&#34;The central idea of post-growth is to replace the goal of increasing GDP with the goal of improving human wellbeing within planetary boundaries.&#34;<br/><br/><a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(24)00310-3/fulltext</a> 2025-02-04T18:59:36Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0t8skxcqv9v8mgs76kkh9mh4lvlg7zy84kn8v554fhv2jtvus64szyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4ymh2ku9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszq3hu3ws65u0h4q6enxac9ugtey4j4h4d9wvnmv0232c82rdedycqfhqc6'>nevent1q…hqc6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I dramatically lost weight after hysterectomy surgery to treat endometriosis. &#34;How&#39;d you do it??&#34; Life threatening illness. &#34;You look great!&#34; Thanks.

Networked in a global ferment involving mutinies, slave revolts, and strikes, these disturbances threatened to undermine the entire imperial order. Sensing that the empire was overextended and upheaval was inevitable, the colonial elite set themselves at the head of the rebellion, using it to free themselves of the financial burden of supporting the Crown. George Washington and his colleagues were not the initiators of the revolt, but the ones who coopted and contained it—a lesson about what happens when revolutionaries seek to gain legitimacy and resources through alliances with the upper class.&#34;<br/><br/>#BlackHistoryMonth 2025-02-02T00:00:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstjjtdnnm73g5lzxpwxk9zn8x5nmv5kdqeekwwtm32dlvd23n90hszyzsta9nnrfjfzs2rzvps3q8pqypw373sfc7ngmpkktdawrwr2qg4y00ss4r On the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth, let&#39;s celebrate the many, many enslaved/indentured people who ran away from George Washington.
