  1. The Revolutionary Charter for establishing people’s power (2023) is the output of a radically participatory and democratic process.

    "Placing our focus on criminal justice alone may allow for some individuals to be punished for their crimes against society but will leave unharmed the same hegemony and oppression regimes who are behind violence and atrocities."

    Yes well said! In society we lack ways to deal with wicked problems. The kind where there is no one single solution. It is a given that special interest groups apply their lobbying and propaganda powers to influence public opinion. And that #activism for the good cause and against malign actors lacks ways to spark a large mass of people into coordinated #resistance and onto pathways towards #solutions. The call of the #activist is for #awareness and #participation, but that all too often requires 'sacrifice'. Often harsh moral judgment is given to those who contribute insufficiently in the eyes of the activist. As result the activist does not win people over, and activism may even backfire.

    Social experience design, while focused on tech foundations first, is a generic solution development methodology aimed at ability to affect societal impact and solve wicked problems. It defines #CALMculture as a way to organize activism in a commons.

  4. Despite the 'dark times'
    Reimagine what is possible

    Our Time is Now.
    " We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life." Zohran Mamdani, NY

    " To Future Generations
    We surely live in dark times.
    I came to the cities at a time of disorder
    When hunger reigned there.
    I came among the people at a time of upheaval
    And I rose up in revolt with them..." B.B. >>

  5. ♦️“The Stop Corporate Capture Act ♦️is a comprehensive blueprint for #modernizing, #improving, and #strengthening the regulatory system
    🔸 to better protect the public,” 🔸
    said Rachel Weintraub,
    executive director of the "Coalition for Sensible Safeguards."

    “The bill would restore #Chevron #deference, ensuring that courts defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of an ambiguous statute is reasonable.

    The bill would enhance our government’s ability to deliver results for workers, consumers, public health, and our environment.

    And it would level the playing field so that ordinary people
    – not just big corporations
    – can weigh in on potential rules that affect them.”

    More than 70 groups in the 🔸Coalition for Sensible Safeguards 🔸are calling on senators to endorse the bill introduced today by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth #Warren (D-Mass.),

    👉The House version of the bill -- #HR1507, introduced by U.S. Rep. Pramila #Jayapal (D-Wash.) in March 2023, already has 74 cosponsors. 

    Specifically, the bill would…
    • Codify #Chevron #deference, the recently overturned legal principle that courts must defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of statutory ambiguity is reasonable;
    • Require #disclosure of changes and the sources of changes made to draft rules during the White House regulatory review process;
    • Bar the White House from #unreasonably #delaying essential safeguards;
    • Make it a crime for corporations to submit #false #information to regulators;
    • Require anyone submitting scientific or technical research to #disclose potential #conflicts of interest;
    • Create an Office of the Public Advocate charged with increasing #public #participation in rulemaking, which will give communities that benefit most from new regulatory protections a much stronger voice in the process, including those that speak languages other than English; and
    • Authorize agencies to quickly #reinstate rules rescinded through the Congressional Review Act.

  7. Introduction:

    Hi, I’m a political science postdoc researcher at the Computational Social Science Lab @Uni_Stuttgart

    My roots are research on attitudes, #participation, and #voting behavior. My dissertation on participatory and #deliberative #democracy on local level brought me to python, webscraping and machine learning. #AI

    I consider causal reasoning to be the most important part of statistical modeling. #DAG #DGP

    What else to say? I love teaching #rstats the #baseR way!
