🔥How can behavioral science contribute more to tackling climate change? This question has been on my mind for years, and I have often written rather critically about the state of behavioral science research (including my own). Here I will share six recommendations🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you ever wondered why Germans didn't do more to stop Hitler or Italians didn't do more to stop Mussolini when they still could, you can stop wondering. Just watch centrist and corporate America right now.

Are we clear that this physically and cognitively declining 79-year-old man, who’s devoted his life to crime and amassing wealth any way he can, is excited about exploiting our military for his personal pleasure? If he can steal Venezuela’s oil, it only empowers him to keep going.

Nigel Farage couldn't even condemn something he admits is contrary to international law because he's entirely subservient to Donald Trump. Some patriot... www.thenational.scot/news/2574676...

People who consider themselves decent, progressive, or left leaning should not only be embarrassed to remain on X in any active capacity - they should be deeply ashamed. The line was crossed long ago.

DANISH PARLIAMENT MEMBER: “🇺🇸 had 30 bases on Greenland, why did you leave? You can resume that tomorrow without attacking a NATO ally… the rationale lacks factual foundation and doesn’t stand any logic testing.” (Unless the point is to hurt us and end NATO, a Putin/Xi goal)

Trump has officially announced that proceeds from Venezuelan oil are under his direct, personal control to use in any way he likes.

Noticing that CNN is calling Jan. 6 a “riot,” not an “insurrection.” PSA: It was an insurrection.

immigration is a great thing, we need to say that - & take the fight to the nativists my latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-g...

Americans - on the fifth anniversary of Trump’s attempt to overthrow the U.S Government it is no longer good enough to state you didn’t enable him. History will judge you on what you did to stop him.

"Two things have to happen in order for us to save the Republic from [Donald Trump]—first of all, accountability ... and the second is to pass laws and legislation within the four corners of the Constitution to make sure we never have this autocratic authoritarian threat again."

In July 2024, I warned that if Trump were re-elected, "The age of multilateralism would be over, and something much worse will take its place. The UK and Europe will need to find the means of defending ourselves". I was called "hysterical". Well, here we are. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Fear grips Caracas as a new wave of repression is unleashed in Venezuela. Venezuela's government launched a far-reaching crackdown after Maduro's ouster, detaining journalists and civilians and sending armed gangs to the streets." www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Never forget the people who made excuses for Merrick Garland

There is, unsurprisingly, not a single report in western mainstream media about Israel's raid of Birzeit university yesterday. Also not a peep from universities. www.newarab.com/news/israeli...

This is the meeting they're referencing btw www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

“Doctors Without Borders says it performed more than 22,000 operations and treated more than 100,000 trauma cases in 2025.” Israel is kicking them out of Gaza in the next few weeks, citing among other things its criticism of the way the army has conducted the war. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/w...

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

Just excellent and all they deserve. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Brazil succeeded in holding coup plotters accountable. "If — when the glass has been swept away & the trials are over — those who empowered, guided, mobilized, and legitimized [the riots] are never held to account, then... the conditions for repetition remain intact.” jacobin.com/2026/01/janu...

This headline encapsulates the utter and unrelenting barbarity of Israel's genocidal campaign against Palestinians. It's an insult to our common humanity.

Crockett: "Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6, I do want to be clear: somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful."

🎯"Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it's your fucking responsibility to stop him."

This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability

Son of a bitch is a blatant thief.

how long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look? Starmer, Lammy, Eichmann.

Greenland vs Venezuela Some reckon all the Arctic fuss is just a distraction. Possible. Not proven. Probably never provable. But the way distraction works in politics? Pretty obvious once you pay attention.

Europe’s failure to condemn Trump’s illegal aggression in Venezuela isn’t just wrong – it’s stupid. My piece @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@nathalietocci.bsky.social is right. 👇 Responsible European leadership should probably also entail “de-risking” the US-EU relationship and serious preparation for the “de-coupling” that the White House is clearly working towards. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

But but but I was told it’s the far left who’s violent

We can’t go on like this. In just two days, the average FTSE 100 CEO has made a median workers full time annual salary. The right calls this “wealth creation”. It’s wealth extraction. Time to tax the rich. @highpaycentre.bsky.social highpaycentre.org/fat-cat-day-...

Republicans are more supportive than the rest of the country, but most Americans worry the U.S. is becoming too involved in Venezuela.

Joint European statement on Greenland. They moved quickly after Miller’s comments about annexation last night.

The Wrong Question About Venezuela steadystate1.substack.com/p/the-wrong-... "...[It's not what such an occupation would do to Venezuela. It is what it will do...to our military, our institutions, our constitutional order, and our understanding of who we are when we wield power beyond our borders."

Stability is also very good for pension funds but extremely bad for fund managers and other intermediaries who thrive on volatility

Trump: "You gotta win the midterms. Because if we don't win the midterms, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached."

January 6 in History Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.” And here we are.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox Eversource Energy Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

Never forget. 🇺🇸

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland: "Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.
