The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.
Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.
AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Barely a squeak from the usual suspects on the free-speech right, of course, but this amounts to the most serious assault on free speech in living memory. We cannot accept a situation where hundreds of non-violent demonstrators are being arrested every weekend.

There’s a difference between corporations capitulating out of fear and corporations welcoming rising fascism as an opportunity to do whatever in the hell they actually want to do without fear of repercussions.

This is an absurd misuse of laws designed to tackle terrorism and an insane waste of a resource-starved criminal justice system.

On 7th Oct 2023, Hamas brutally murdered 1200 Israelis, including women and children.
Since then, the Israeli government has killed over 60,000 people in Gaza.
Israel's own figures say 83% have been civilians.
Disproportionate numbers of journalists, medics & children have been killed.

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

NEW: The IDF is shooting children at aid stations for target practice.
Dr Nick Maynard says soldiers chose particular body parts to target on different days - one day head, then chest, abdomen & testicles.

Let me be clearer. I was former head of UK Foreign Office humanitarian affairs, incl policy on war crimes, genocide. I helped craft policy for international criminal court. I’m in no doubt these are war crimes. Disproportionate, indiscriminate, collective punishment by an occupying power.
This is from my friend, Nabil, in Gaza today. He says there is NO food left. He has never sounded so in despair. Israel is carrying out war crimes; violating international humanitarian law; inflicting collective punishment on a captive people; trying to starve them into submission. It’s obscene.
