¿Una nueva izquierda para Gran Bretaña? | Nueva Sociedad
Keir Starmer llegó al poder con la promesa de poner fin a más de una década de gobiernos conservadores. Pero el giro a la derecha de su gestión acentuó el desencanto con el laborismo. En ese terreno s...

As Keir Starmer purges the left and dances to Nigel Farage’s xenophobic tune, I look at how Labour's mounting failures created an opening for @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @zarahsultana.bsky.social to found a new left-wing party. Check out my latest for @thenation.com
Labour Has Only Itself to Blame for the UK’s New Left-Wing Party
Starmer’s rightward turn and austerity agenda fracture Labour, as Corbyn and Sultana rally disillusioned voters behind a new left alternative.

This episode was fascinating - so many examples of countries who took big steps to improve the lives of their people.
This is an INCREDIBLE episode. Why do 80% of people in Singapore live in government-built housing? Why is graduate school free in Finland? Why does over 98% of Uruguay run on renewable energy?? Absolutely LOVED this. open.spotify.com/episode/3R5s...

THIS is what I mean when I say over and over again Americans are getting a bad deal. In the wealthiest country in the history of the planet, how is it that 2/3 of the population can't afford to get by?!
A new report finds the bottom 60% of U.S. households—or *two-thirds* of the population—can't afford a “minimal quality of life": housing, health care, and other necessities.
"Indicators like GDP and unemployment tell us the economy is thriving. But they don’t reflect the reality of most Americans."

The Recent Riots in the UK Should Be a Warning to Kamala Harris
Like the Tories, the new Labour government wants to blame immigration for Britain’s current troubles, but these have less to do with immigration than with deprivation.

Americans think low taxes are a trade-off for a limited welfare state.
But health care costs are just a private tax — and if you include them, we pay the second-highest tax rate in the world. It doesn’t have to be this way.
