Today, my independent colleague @AyoubKhanMP asked the PM for his definition of genocide. His response — which shows a blatant disregard for Palestinian suffering and international law — is disgraceful. We will keep demanding: stop the genocide in Gaza.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

Dems have spent the past 8 years destroying the one movement that could have saved them. Bernie's class first populism won over exactly the type of voters (Latinos, working class, bros, Joe Rogan!) that Dems now repel.

The Democratic smothering of the Bernie coalition reaped its reward today, writes Krystal Ball.

‘Trump may well be a “threat to democracy,” but the notion is deeply laughable in the mouths of his political opponents who have worked for their entire careers, with great success, to consolidate their own power and destroy the remnants of democracy.’ https://t.co/WWlAFaB8Vh

If democracy is government “of the people, by the people, for the people,” then there exists, to this day, a residuum of democracy in America. It is found mainly at the local level, in towns and...

one sobering thing about being at the UN is the constant reminder of how much the US resists processes where the level playing field is not structurally already skewed in their favour (as in Bretton Woods institutions)

This Bloomberg report is a stark reminder: we cannot rely on capital to achieve green transition. Capital is not investing enough in green energy because it's not as profitable as fossil fuels. The solution? We need a public finance strategy and fast. https://t.co/6ysLeRA3zG

The $5 trillion industry’s move against clean energy and green technology may prove more damaging than political pushback over “woke” capitalism.

I am deeply disappointed that various western governments and diplomats appear to have been misled by spurious, recycled allegations against me, just as I prepare to present my latest report to the #UNGA next week. I am profoundly committed to human rights for all people - how

Watch this report from @jrug to get a glimpse of the horror and devastation in Gaza. Look at how many children you see. “Israel is pounding northern Gaza…In the meantime, the world watches from a distance. But it cannot say it didn’t see this, it cannot say it didn’t know.”

The scenes from Jabalia on twitter are unbearable. To see this mass extermination live without being able to stop it is unbearable. What is far worse is no mention of it in media. The NYTimes is particularly heinous: "Fighting rages" during a mass extermination. How.
They are exterminating children. If you are a civil servant or staffer, why have you not resigned in protest? If you are in a position of power, why have you not spoken out? If you have information, why have you not blown the whistle?

It is inexplicable how people are rightly outraged when faced with brutal colonial histories such as the Belgian Congo but continue to keep their mouths shut in the face of Israel’s genocidal settlement colonial project right before our eyes. Western liberalism is sickening.
All communications and networks in the northern Gaza Strip have been cut off due to a brutal military operation that the occupation is conducting on the Jabalia camp from all directions. In the past two weeks, Israeli occupation forces have killed 450 people in northern

✈️NEW RESEARCH ✈️ We need to fly less to stop climate breakdown. But excessive flying is dominated by the well-off. In Western Europe, the richer you are, the more likely you are to fly three or more times a year. It’s the wealthiest who need to reduce their flying the most.
