Will the absence of reliable automatic metro service in the United States mark the moment its citizens notice how far behind their country has fallen?

1/Recomiendo escuchar esta entrevista a @javierburonc.bsky.social (y otra que pondré al final del hilo) sobre el problema de la vivienda.
Sigo a Javier hace muchos años y me siento muy identificado con lo que dice y cómo enfoca los problemas, y también, la incomprensión que suscitan sus ideas en..

Galiza NON é soberana enerxeticamente. O 75% da enerxía primaria que consume Galiza depende de combustibles fósiles importados. Unha parte de zonas de sacrificio reais. Por exemplo, do Delta do Níxer (o 11,4% do petróleo importando en España en 2024) .

Over two centuries, global work hours fell - but only through massive political mobilization and legislative reforms. Work time reduction should continue its historical trajectory in the 21st century, as part of the broader struggles to preserve planetary habitability and achieve social justice.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Albania’s 30 years journey to European values. From left to right: prison of Spaç, infamous site for political detention, officially closed in 1991. Prison of Gjadër, hailed as a new model in the management of human flows, officially open today to migrants deported by Italy.

As an Indian, my contempt for (rich white) anti-vaxxers in the west is so deep I often cannot quite find the words to express my contempt.
I grew up seeing polio-disabled children and adults crawling over rubble and roads in India.
My father worked for the Pulse Polio program.

«Como no estás a salvo de nada, intenta ser tú mismo la salvación de algo.

Caminar despacio, a ver si, tentado el tiempo, hace lo mismo».
