The Nordic countries have far less economic inequality than the United States. Most of the difference is due to the Nordics’ welfare states.

Telling CNN what the ceasefire agreement after 2 years of genocide will mean for Gaza, & how keeping the boot of occupation on the necks of Palestinians will never bring true peace or security for Palestinians or Israelis.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.
Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.
They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

"China is the only large country driving the energy transition at anything close to the necessary speed and scale."
It's also the only one whose energy transition is not hamstrung by reliance on the motive force of renewables profitability.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.
