Bernie Sanders' new book, It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, is coming in February.

By Jessie Gaynor
November 17, 2022

According to Crown, the book, Sanders’ sixth, will be both an assessment of the disaster of our current levels of wealth inequality, and a call to action.

In It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism, Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is creating an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is leading to the destruction of our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to own more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the very rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards fossil fuel corporations that are causing the climate crisis?

And yet, there is a path forward. Sanders presents a vision of what would be possible if the political revolution were to occur, if we recognize that economic rights are human rights and work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all.

Bernie: You're not powerless.

What the establishment says to you is that you are powerless. Let's prove them wrong. Let’s transform this country.

The crowd was too big at the University of Michigan tonight. 1200+ We had to have an overflow room









THANK YOU to the more than 1200 people who joined us tonight in Ann Arbor. The future of this country depends, to a large degree, on
whether young people stand united and take on the greed of the ruling class to create a future that works for all — not just the few.

Bernie: The path ahead.

What this moment in American political life is about is which way we will go. Do we rip each other apart? Do we have working class people fighting with each other? Or do we stand together?

THANK YOU to the 3,000+ people who joined us today in Eugene, Oregon! If we come out and vote in HUGE numbers in these midterm elections, make no mistake — YES — we can take on the billionaire class and the forces of corporate greed to finally build an economy for all.

A SENSE OF SCALE - Roman De Giuli's Elaborate Topographies Made of Pigments

vimeo.com/758612693

A SENSE OF SCALE is a reminiscense to the famous "Sense of Scale" documentary by Berton Pierce form 2011. As the documentary, my experimental short film is all about details and the beauty of practical effects. I want to emphasize the meaning of handmade visuals and the effort it takes to stage sceneries on a small scale. I captured very tiny areas of paint flowing on a piece of paper while zooming in the closest possible with a custom lens setup. All shots are taken with my RED DSMC2 in 8K and several macro lenses. It took me around 1 year to finish this piece. Color graded and optimized for HDR devices.

Thanks for watching!

The sweeping topography of German photographer Roman De Giuli’s “A Sense of Scale” suggests rivers coursing around islands, lava flows, or clouds moving over land masses as if seen from Earth’s atmosphere. Look a little closer, however, and you will find these effervescent terrains are composed of paint, powders, and water that the artist applies with droppers to the surface of paper and sets into motion with small doses of air. Known for elaborate timelapses imitative of satellite imagery, De Giuli’s work harnesses the power of high-definition photography to document the voluptuous movement of fluid pigments.

Using a custom lens setup to zoom in and out, the piece took about a year to complete and was filmed in 8K resolution with the aid of several macro lenses. The title is a nod to the 2011 documentary “Sense of Scale” by Berton Pierce, which chronicled the world of Hollywood special effects as CGI had begun to render scale miniatures obsolete in the film industry.

A legend has passed this way

"I choose to listen to the river for a while, thinking river thoughts, before joining the night and the stars."
