Tascha is quite genuinely one of the greatest political minds in America & moreover the kind of leader that truly lifts everyone up with her. Constantly in awe of what she & the entire field team pulled off & the infectiously joyful energy they carried thru the whole campaign

It's one thing to debate with people you don't agree with - which I support - and another to fangirl over Nick Fuentes, mixed w faux dumb affect (what's Iran?) + obsessive diet questions until he basically forced a turn to politics. I don't like cancel culture - except this time

A beautifully written, phenomenal piece of storytelling — weaving in the chronological events of Election Day, a demographic x-ray of key neighborhoods, an encyclopedic knowledge of NYC history, and catnip for us data nerds. A love letter to a newly forged electoral coalition.

Greens are actually **ahead** of Labour for the first time Detailed results have GRN 15.31% LAB 15.23%

I'm currently reading a comparison of health systems globally. There are about 4 sentences that really sum it up. 1/4: “The United States is the only developed country that lets insurance companies profit from basic health coverage”

There's theocratic creep across most regions globally today, and a hesitancy to point it out because of stale cultural relativism debates and/or appropriation concerns. Women's rights matter everywhere. Anti-theocracy needs to be louder in UK + globally. https://t.co/3ff9b42t48

Not sure people not subject to this in their cities truly comprehend how much ICE is terrorizing Chicago. They are everywhere, kidnapping whomever they want, arresting journalists, targeting construction and domestic laborers, deliberately sowing fear in almost every neighborhood

Israeli forces are said to have dropped more explosives on Gaza than fell on London, Dresden and Hamburg combined in the Second World War. The level of destruction is hard to fathom as is the humanitarian suffering. Our Foreign Affairs Correspondent @SecKermani looks at the

For the sake of humanity, let’s hope this will be a lasting and permanent ceasefire. While this is a hopeful step, we must demand accountability for every war crime committed during this genocide and continue to call for an end to the occupation.

I have a new review piece out that uses Noam Yuran's book as a springboard to consider problems with 'family abolitionism' + its nihilistic implications. I call for a wider, more inclusive + more realistic political economy of love + families. https://t.co/P4Xtb0Sfk6

I think a National Care Service is the best, most universally appealing approach. Wales and Scotland have made good strides here. Groups like Greens should message this.

The main rentiers todays are companies like Blackrock and Serco which will capitalise from this while Green hands more wins to Reform. Many will think this is a stupid policy but won't say so publicly. It will undermine the much better aim of rent control.

I'm a qualitative sociologist, so I interview hundreds of people. I have interviewed single mothers fleeing abusing relationships making modest income from renting rooms/Airbnb. This landlord move is misguided and will simply alienate voters + indirectly boost corporate profits.

Zack Polanski making the case for a wealth tax Penny Mordaunt comes up with some random figures Polanksi corrects her adding "I'm not talking about hairdressers, plumbers, or people running small businesses. This is not a tax on ambition, this is a tax on people earning more

It's frustrating seeing theorists frame the right-wing surge to a project of (mere) nostalgia, as if it's entirely unconnected to present-day immiseration. Others like Arlie Hochschild do the hard (field)work of connecting it to economic dislocation. This is crucial.

Fucking chilling. But this will piss off a lot of high level military generals, LOL. "After breaking fast tonight, while preparing for dinner and catching up on the flood of missed calls and messages, I heard from sources I trust. And what I heard stopped me cold. The

The Guardian confirms reports that one Sumud Flotilla boat out of the 44 that were sailing, Mikeno, broke through the blockade and reached Palestinian waters for the first time since 2009 -- another reminder that history did not start on October 7th. Absolutely incredible.

The 'main strength of Bhattacharyya’s work is to treat racial capitalism as an invisibilization mechanism which undermines shared recognition of the cross-racial immiseration of different groups.' Read my review article here: https://t.co/jB3BDQoAqk

Let’s get a few things clear 1) All people deserve safety, regardless of their views 2) Conflation of Israel and British Jews is always wrong, regardless who’s doing it 3) If you’re using today to score points then you probably don’t care about the victims as much as you claim

No one should have to fear for their life while gathering in a place of worship.
