@yassin Agreed. The problem is that finance has learned how to mobilize constitutional rights on its behalf and within existing legal structures it is difficult to marshal the principle of democracy against individual rights.

La doctora @KAPistor presentó en "El código del #capital" una nueva forma de entender la economía, el peso del derecho en nuestras vidas y una de las claves para cambiar las sociedades y hacerlas más justas. El 26 de agosto podremos platicar con ella, junto con la directora de ProDESC, Alejandra Ancheita, a las 3 de la tarde en la Biblioteca Vasconcelos de la CDMX. ¡Acompáñanos!

Prominent current politicians whose ancestors owned enslaved people. It's really worth reading down this list for the politicians' reactions. Most didn't respond. Substantive answers come almost exclusively from Democrats. Of those, Jeanne Shaheen's is particularly defensive (poorly served by her staff, I would say). Mitch McConnell's staffer jumps immediately to explaining why we shouldn't even consider reparations, a question no one asked.

#OnThisDay in #history - in 1729 at the age of 64, Élisabeth-Claude Jacquet died in #France . From a family of musicians, she was also a musician and composer who was well-known in her lifetime for her facility at playing the harpsichord (and improvising upon it) and her genre-spanning compositions. She first caught the eye of Louis XIV when she played for him as a small child. She stayed at court, to be educated by his mistress, Mme de Montespan.
