Leading organization of genocide experts declares that Israel has “engaged in systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and #genocide, including indiscriminate and deliberate attacks against the civilians and civilian infrastructure” in #Gaza. on.ft.com/3JLbtTz

Isaiah Berlin described Karl Marx as “the true father of modern economic history and modern sociology,” noting that “the effects of Marx’s achievements have become part of the permanent background of civilized thought.”

"The #Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A famine that will and must haunt us all." What we've been warning about for months is unfolding before the world's eyes. This could have been prevented. "Enough. Ceasefire. Open the crossings." Full remarks by @tomfletcherun.bsky.social ⬇️ bit.ly/4oPdfTS

According to the most recent study of the causes of wildfires in Europe, a mere 4% were found to have started naturally. Accidents and negligence explained 39%. But the main reason, accounting for 57% of outbreaks, was that the fires were lit deliberately: economist.com/europe/2025/...

El capitalismo –según Arrighi– se desarrolla a través de ciclos hegemónicos en los que diferentes potencias lideran la economía mundial. Breve hilo de #LecturasMásDemo con los cuatro ciclos históricos identificados por Arrighi y su visión sobre el futuro del orden global.

Children in #Gaza are starving to death. Across the Gaza Strip, most children examined by UNRWA health teams are emaciated, weak, and at risk of dying, if they do not get the treatment they urgently need. It’s time to stop this war on children. #CeasefireNow

Al Jazeera described the attack as “yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom.” The Committee to Protect Journalists last month warned that Sharif was being smeared with unproven ties to Hamas to pave the path for his assassination: on.ft.com/3JqKc8M

“Almost a year since the Draghi report, barely any of its recommendations have been acted on.” “Trump’s 15% tariff pales in comparison with the cost of internal trade frictions; barriers within the EU amount to a staggering 44% tariff on goods and 110% on services.” economist.com/leaders/2025...

“Under technofeudalism, we no longer own our minds. To own our minds individually, we must own cloud capital collectively. It’s the only way we can turn our cloud-based artifacts from a means of behavior modification to a means of human collaboration and emancipation.” – @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social

“The war against Hamas in Gaza has become endless, indiscriminate and militarily pointless. It is turning Israel into a pariah.” economist.com/leaders/2025...

“La historia es el producto más peligroso que la química del intelecto haya creado. Sus propiedades son bien conocidas. Hace soñar, embriaga, engendra recuerdos falsos, exagera los reflejos, mantiene abiertas viejas heridas, atormenta en el reposo, conduce…

“Vivimos un tiempo –escribe @andrea-rizzi.bsky.social en este didáctico y estimulante libro– en el que el péndulo de la historia va en la dirección contraria a la de las grandes conquistas de la civilización occidental”. #LecturasMásDemo

I think European leaders - both national and in the EU - are underestimating what it will do to their publics to be humilated by Trump. Like the NATO summit and Rutte's 'Daddy' strategy, mabye the outcome could have been worse. But losing pride and being humilated is also a price that is paid.

Free! Free! Palestine! 🇵🇸

“Liberal democracy must find a new equilibrium between the market economy and democratic politics. If it does not do so, it may collapse.” “A good part of what has gone wrong is the tendency of the powerful to rig the economic and political systems against the rest of society.” #LecturasMásDemo

This is a man-made disaster. Enough is enough. The United Nations must be allowed to deliver aid of all types at scale to families in Gaza, wherever they are.

25 countries (including 🇯🇵 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇨🇦) condemn “inhumane killing of civilians” in #Gaza. “It’s horrifying that 800+ Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid.” “The Israeli Govt’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance is unacceptable.” on.ft.com/44Fpo5M

“The first Zionist settlers, landing in Palestine in 1882, had no idea about farming. They were mostly former university students, with no instinct for agriculture. They needed the assistance of Palestinian farmers, who taught them how to work the land, to make it bear fruit.”
