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.”

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

China continues to develop, yet it still keeps low-end manufacturing. If low-end manufacturing stays in China, where do newcomers plug in? What’s the industrialization path for countries like DRC, SA, Indonesia now?

This is an interesting case. It does appear Sheffield Hallam were in a very difficult position if staff in China were being intimidated. Academic freedom vs responsibility to protect staff is not a no-brainer, from the point of view of university administration.
"a decision by the university not to publish a final phase of the research... was communicated to the National Security Service..." "China is not believed to have an organisation named National Security Service, so it is not clear who the individuals were".
