BREAKING: A new UN report finds that Israel’s assault on Gaza - with the destruction of health care, education, infrastructure, even the banking system - has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded. This is not war: it is genocide.

Many, in my part of the world,still know the difference between ius quia iussum (law as commanded) and ius quia iustum (law as just).I follow the latter. Questioning a resolution’s flaws isn’t “siding with terrorists”; it’s defending the only peace that ends violence: a just one.
“UN expert” Francesca Albanese further disgraces herself. After years of false “genocide” claims, she attacks a historic UN resolution to bring peace to Gaza adopted 13-0, with public support from Arab & Muslim partners, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority. Yet Albanese sides

"Intelligence is essentially computational"? "Brains are essentially prediction machines"? With such limited and limiting assumptions, your interpretation comes as no surprise.
The advent of AI might be just the latest stage in a guiding biological process that has produced ever more complex, mutually dependent organisms over the history of life https://t.co/XgLosDGAND

"I lost my daughter, but I did not lose my humanity". "I found in this global love a letter from God" "Save Gaza, before it dies". Hind Rajab's mama.
Hind Rajab has become the icon of the murdered childhood of Gaza. Her mother, Wessam, carries her story with dignity and tenderness. The #HindRajabFoundation bears her name as a living commitment to that legacy. Hind’s voice lives on, soft, powerful and impossible to ignore.

Average worker in Sweden pays 42%? If your articles weren't so unaffordable to this average Swedish worker, then he could have figured out how you estimate what is "handed over".
If I asked you which country has the most progressive tax system in the developed world — where high earners hand over an especially large share of their income relative to the average worker — what would your answer be? The answer is in fact Britain. https://t.co/BlW00DT2ja

The world is sleepwalking into an unprecedented period of global tyranny. Under pressure from a violent and lawless US regime, the UN Security Council, a body at the top of the international system, with largely unconstrained legislative and enforcement power, and not subject to

They prefer to operate on the basis of ignorance being bliss. They would rather dwell in the fantasy that they wield meaningful influence than read the writing on the wall.
Has anyone even noticed that, in the current framing of a Peace Plan for Ukraine, Europe has been given the same role as Namibia or New Zealand (i.e. none)? This is the price Europe is paying for being Washington's lackeys for so long: utter irrelevance

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe. Le Monde has a long article ( https://t.co/YMCO5sHYcL) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants

The scale of the injustice perpetrated against Gaza—the degree to which naked evil has been allowed to triumph—is truly terrifying. It feels like a horror out of time, a grotesque hybrid of imperial past and dystopian future. Like the soul of the world has been burned away.

The so-called centrist liberal leaders have accommodated the rampant flouting of international law for decades. Their accommodation is what has led to this situation.
As Donald Trump tramples over the norms of the postwar liberal order, centrist political leaders are only too keen to accommodate him. Global liberalism is collapsing, while the battle over what replaces it is just beginning.

Nice one.
Analysis: With the E.U. preoccupied with internal divisions and the U.S. outright hostile to climate progress, China — along with India and Brazil — is emerging as the driving force in climate diplomacy. https://t.co/csGirYwkNN

There is no credible argument against this. None. And still…and still…our countries stand by and let Israel continue. Open the gates - let the tents in, let the aid workers in, let journalists in for God’s sake. Enough is enough.
Gaza is drowning. Israel is intentionally torturing millions by delaying the entry of tents and other staples for physical survival. The decomposing bodies, the nonexistent sewage, the lack of housing and health, these are all the conscious perpetration of genocide.

He's objectively right. It's not the EU that gets to determine what international law is. It's the US that does.
"I don't think that the European Union gets to determine what international law is,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Wednesday when asked about the legality of U.S. strikes on vessels the Trump administration alleges were ferrying drugs from South America to the

Swedish social democracy owed its success to its ability to empower the working class to fight for better wages and conditions. But when the Social Democrats turned away from this strategy in the 1990s, they quickly lost their working-class base. https://t.co/8dSCZlmgwE

Wise words.
The Green Party's @DrJillStein on Zohran's win: "I've spent decades learning not to hold my breath, & I'm still not holding my breath. I think what's hopeful here is that [Zohran] really has a supercharged base, & the hope is that that base will continue to hold his feet to the

Correct—this is what a postindustrial class-coming-into-being looks like. Basically, we have a class recognizing itself as an object of history, but what makes this class of non-capital holders unique in the last 200 years is that, unlike the industrial workers, it …
The News doesn't know what to do w/this; they only know how to identify political coalitions by identity, or the handful of abstract political ideas campaign strategists accept as legitimate. What really divides Cuomo's voters from Zohran's is far simpler: the former have capital

This is excellent analysis.
Jeremy Scahill maps the regional chessboard, outlining the spheres of influence that have taken shape under U.S. dominance, and how each power has positioned itself around the question of Palestine. Egypt and Turkey, Scahill says, don’t want Hamas destroyed outright. As the

Being divided about clear-as-daylight extrajudicial executions just demonstrates how normalized this sort of stuff has become. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have indulged freely in this horrific abuse of power.
Americans are divided about the boat killings — but there is very little support for US military or covert regime change operations against Venezuela. Only 18% of Americans — and just 35% of Republicans — support using US military for regime change @YouGov, Oct 2025

Indeed. Well-intentioned concepts such as the "circular economy" run up against the contradictions of capital (how to keep the extracting surplus value?).
The tech optimist posts about how renewables are contributing a larger share to the global energy mix, or how EVs are replacing combustion engines are driving me mad. Overall material throughput is continuing to rise, and that's a massive problem.
