So happy to see this!
A foreign policy for the working class is one where states collaborate to discipline capital instead of working with capital to discipline our democracies.

Guardian: The Yangtze River in China, which has been in ecological decline for 70 years, is showing signs of recovery due to a sweeping fishing ban.

One biologist said it was the most positive freshwater conservation story seen anywhere in the world in 20 years.

Some prices matter much more than others for livelihoods, production and distribution. They are systemically significant and key in the fight for affordability and against inflation.

So proud to win the Nelson & Freeman Prize for our paper! Thank you ICC! 🥳

I went a little viral on the Bad Site with nearly 20k replies and QTs mostly from the right—some fascist luminaries and many randos. The reactions are all boring but I got interested in why so many of them felt the need to respond. It’s as if “she could have been any one of us” is triggering

This is a pretty incredible summary of what British democracy is, is it not. Is this how it works, in your experience? Is it how it has worked in the last ten years alone.

If cynicism and despair at our hilariously bent and openly insulting democracy is the enemy, then what would we say the 2019 and 2024 election campaigns were, given they delivered fraudulent governments that reached hated public enemy status within 18 months.

If you're concerned about the erosion of anti racist norms and the rise of the far right, you have to factor in two solid years of bipartisan British complicity in this genocide. What do you think our government's role in this racist bloodbath tells us about the state of our political culture?
Analysts told me that they agree with @amnesty.org in that Israel's genocide in Gaza is not over.

The mass killing has slowed but the conditions for life & society have been destroyed and are not being allowed to be rebuilt.

Our annual deep dive on China’s climate transition is out! China’s CO₂ emissions are set to remain flat for a second year in 2025. Record additions of solar and wind, accelerating electrification, and declining construction-material demand are the main drivers.

What about middle aged Jewish people who learned about Israel by reading books and traveling there and still concluded it's an apartheid state?
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
