Habia 1'2 millones de personas en este pais (más, en realidad) que estaba viviendo y trabajando aqui sin derechos. Un millón doscientas mil personas. Quienes se oponen a la regularización quieren un pais de personas sin derechos para enfrentarla a quien tiene unos poquitos.
Insightful graph from a powerful piece by @amywestervelt.bsky.social @lucaswaldron.bsky.social: "An investigation by ProPublica & Drilled has found that boosters of CCS have ignored evidence of the technology’s limitations, or overstated its potential, & convinced the world it could be effective."
“Una infraestructura pública de esta escala, financiada con dinero de todos, debería venir acompañada desde el primer día de mecanismos de gobernanza transparente”, concluye: “Exigimos que estos procesos no sean un trámite de legitimación a posteriori, sino parte constitutiva del proyecto”.
Qué son las gigafactorías de IA y por qué el Gobierno ha apostado más de mil millones para traer una a España
Bruselas quiere crear grandes infraestructura para desarrollar modelos de IA propios y reducir la dependencia tecnológica de EEUU y China. España aspira a convertirse en una de sus piezas clave

Hoy me publican en el @eldiario.es esta opinión sobre cómo enfocar el debate sobre las pensiones y las malas estrategias de recortes y privatización que se plantean. En cambio, propongo pensar creativamente cómo potenciar está herramienta pública de cara a crear bienes públicos y ecología.

Hay que provechar el poder colectivo que representan las pensiones y orientarlo hacia las necesidades reales de la población, en lugar de alimentar un conflicto intergeneracional. Algunas propuestas s...

I found Minn's Cold War in Welfare in a second-hand bookshop in Lund, Sweden, while doing my master's. I was not studying pension funds then, and honestly, it remained unread on the many bookshelves at different apartments I have lived in since then.
now that is an incredible quote "The U.S. has depleted much of its inventory of advanced missile-defense interceptors after expending far more high-end munitions defending Israel than Israeli forces used themselves"
Frente a la crisis actual, ¿qué podemos hacer? Para el filósofo Timothy Morton, la respuesta no pasa por intentar gestionar «un todo», sino por apostar por crear «pequeños espacios de cuidado» y verdaderos «paraísos dentro del infierno».

Timothy Morton es un filósofo incómodo. Rechaza hablar de «un todo» y, ecológicamente, apuesta por crear «paraísos dentro del infierno».

For several years, it has been cheaper to build new solar and wind capacity than just to maintain a coal plant — even if the coal was free. But gas plants were twice as efficient and much cheaper to operate. Now solar and wind, complete with battery storage, are cheaper than gas.
Solar plus batteries cheaper than gas — IRENA report - Gas Outlook
A new IRENA report finds that 24/7 “firm” clean energy is cheaper than coal and gas in many parts of the world.

Iran has been upgraded to regional hegemon in ranks of the great powers by Pape! think most IR realist scholars will come to same conclusion as Iran continues to 1 absorb devastating punishment 2 still punch back & destroy US bases in middle east 3 use its Hormuz Chokehold to extract concessions
Building electric power, a huge anti-Yankee imperialism thing a left group can do
The electrical revolution is happening - across several domains - faster and further than almost anyone dared predict. And any country that does not embrace it will be left in the fossil age.

New @sierraclub.org report reveals most US public pensions are failing to take full advantage of proxy voting to manage climate-related financial risks, and political hostility to ESG caused a significant decline in shareholder proposals in 2025.
US public pensions should use more proxy voting to make firms go green, report says
US pension funds are not fully utilising their voting power, although some are upholding proxy voting on climate despite political hostility towards ESG.

How Cities Can Evaluate Public Investment Without Bond Markets, A Thread

This article is an increible piece. It explains first how Apple ramped up production through industrial spionage and control of supply chains. It then explains how China is gaining sustained control through a strategy of maximising capabalities instead of profit maximisation and shareholder value.
