We're often told that capitalism and market liberalisation are closing the gap between rich and poor countries, and the old colonial inequalities are fading. Is it true? We explored this question in a new paper, just published in NPE. Buckle up for some interesting results! 🧵
$13 billion. That’s how much was made from the sale of Venezuelan oil in the 6 months since the U.S. coup’ed Maduro. So…where is it?

I really enjoyed working on this #Pride reading list alongside @taniamousel.bsky.social ! She deserves most of the credit, I contributed just a couple of titles, but it was great to be involved in curating such a thoughtful selection. ✊🏻🏳️🌈

Des milliers avec Rima et ses coéquipiers relâchés par les nervis de Netanyahu. Rima à Paris, c'est Victor Hugo de retour de Guernesey. Seule la secte médiatique peut croire qu'un tel événement peut être invisibilisé.
The Israeli government has effectively legalized the annexation of over 60% of the West Bank, but no one’s talking about it. Here’s what this means for Palestinians. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra... #Palestine #Israel
Israel just reopened land property registration in the West Bank. Here’s what that means.

Capitalism commodified the base (red), leaving us frantically scrambling from cradle to grave to secure these most basic needs by marketing/selling ourselves, often unsuccessfully. We are systematically stunted from reaching the other levels as a result.

If you were outraged by the crimes against civilians on Oct 7th but not by the many more crimes against civilians *since* Oct 7th - just this week: kids being burned from head to toe; having their limbs amputated without anesthetic - then you don’t actually care about crimes against civilians.
As footage of dead kids in Gaza fills your timeline once again, keep in mind that the reason the empire has worked so hard to stomp out all criticism of Israel’s western-backed atrocities is because our rulers planned on sponsoring way more atrocities and murdering way more kids.
ah yes dr schockmel et gi puer glécklecher déi nie musste fir e loun schaffe fir z'iwwerliewen an dofir loosse mer déi aner leit déi net genuch konnte cotiséieren a struktureller aarmut an an ofhängegkeet vu sozialleeschtungen déi zu all moment kënne wegfaalen (80% dovu fraen btw) gudden take

A new study published in the Lancet finds that life expectancy in Gaza dropped by nearly half, from 75.5 years to 40.6 years, during the first twelve months of the genocide. Apocalyptic.
Just a few years ago she called him “Saudi Arabia’s bitch” and now she’s his Director of National Intelligence. American politics is a strange, strange world.

"The United States is going back … to a 19th-century model of rapacious imperialism that’s interested in territory, that is grabbing resources wherever they can find it," author Pankaj Mishra says of the Trump administration.
“The World After Gaza”: Author Pankaj Mishra on Gaza & the Return of 19th-C. “Rapacious Imperialism”
Pankaj Mishra’s new book, The World After Gaza: A History, was written as a response to the “vast panorama of violence, disorder and suffering that we’re seeing today,” says the author. In Part 1 of…

i think people are still oblivious to how easy it is for a government official to simply lie and keep the discourse focused on said lie. especially easy at a time when confidence in legacy publishers is at an all time low and social media is actively spreading disinfo as "truth"
D’Waardelëscht fir Flüchtlingen ouni Famill ass säit Enn Dezember rëm agesat. Ëm déi 100 Männer sinn aktuell drop, si kréie kee Logement vum ONA Den zoustännege Minister Max Hahn (@demokrateschpartei.bsky.social) huet dat der Chamber verheemlecht.
Reporter.lu@reporter.lu · 2y agoLuxemburg verweigert aktuell etwa 100 Asylbewerbern eine Unterkunft. Die Behörden agieren dabei ohne klare Rechtsgrundlage. Vor Gericht wird dem Staat gar Behinderung der Justiz vorgeworfen. Als Folge gerät nun die „Wanteraktioun“ unter Druck.
To be clear, I don't particularly care that Elon Musk very clearly made Nazi salutes. We've just spent 15 months watching the US empire carry out a live-streamed genocide, and Elon Musk is one of the managers of that empire. Doing Nazi salutes just puts a wrapper on the product.
Famillen mat Kanner auszeweisen - déi hei zu Letzebuerg integréiert sinn - ass jo och méi einfach, wéi sech déi néideg Moyens ze ginn, eng uerdentlech Asylpolitik ze ginn. Haptsach herno kenne behapten, mir hunn ausgewisen... Liesenwert vum @rockdavid.bsky.social www.tageblatt.lu/headlines/fa...

Trump's cabinet is looking very establishment and deep-statist.
