If this would be Ukrainian doctor walking towards Russians who have attacked his hospital for weeks & are set to put it on fire, it would be leading news across the 'West'.

Now 'Western' press repeats Israeli occupation lie of Kamal Adwan Hospital as 'Hamas headquarters'.

Another reminder why wage theft greater than all other types of theft combined.
Basically, US and UK firms that violate minimum wage laws face little probability of getting caught and pay only small fines when they do.

Nice micro case study of the whole "the free market was never free, neoliberalism is a top-down project, yadda yadda yadda" thesis that still and always needs repeating.
We can’t understand the geography of capitalism in our present moment without seeing how these old industries overlap with the new.

"Two Towns" features an interactive map showing how ex-industrial towns were not “left behind” but actively made into havens for low-paid work.

"Questions about the economy’s structure and the broader social contract will be central to any serious program to accelerate and sustain British economic growth, or any program enlightened enough to look beyond it as a policy target." 🎯 @jomichell.bsky.social www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/bey...

Starter pack of people and organisations who do work on policies to promote economic democracy, primarily through social ownership and democratisation of finance. I'm sure there's a lot missing here so please give suggested additions

Nothing much, just Russia firing a ballistic missile normally reserved for nuclear warheads at Dnipro.

Hope all the comfortable people cheering every escalation as 100s of 1000s young Ukrainians and Russians continue dying in a senseless war are happy they now have a bigger chance of joining them.

Joining a new social media platform is like consciousness becoming aware of itself: why am I here? who else is here? why do I suffer this fate?

First time as tragedy etc.
