«Vamos a privatizar toda nuestra industria. Venezuela tiene inmensos recursos; petróleo, gas, minerales, tierra, tecnología... Venezuela, va a ser la oportunidad más brillante para la inversión para las empresas estadounidenses, para la buena gente, que van a ganar mucho dinero». Corina Machado.

1. In Hamburg there is a "fully autonomous train" that for some reason has a human operator to press the ON switch first thing in the morning and the OFF switch at the end of the night. In a recent talk about AI in science, I asked the audience to consider whether they want to be like that operator.

1_La mayoría de los países se han apresurado a reconocer la pax impuesta en Palestina. Es un plan neocolonial que no reconoce el conflicto político: no hay nada ahí que ofrezca autodeterminación al pueblo palestino, ni participación de ningún modo en su destino.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

First thought, was I know I'm tired but I didn't realise I'd slept for 3 years. This is an absolutely crazy way to use and report polling. It should not be getting this kind of priority at this stage in an electoral cycle.

Alerta, Alerta, Antifascista!

Por si sentís tanta nostalgia por las primarias de Podemos como yo:

🚨This isn’t history. It’s a plan for our future. Amnesty UK has exposed powerful & well-funded groups that are working to stop women, LGBTI+ people & children making decisions over our bodies, health & futures. This matters to all of us as everyone’s rights are at risk. Join us in exposing them.

The real problem with Nigel Farage's plan for mass deportations is that he hasn't planned it out properly, suggests Labour

I don't think I have been more disgusted by anything recently as much as this statement. I'd rather they said "we don't give a fuck about the ongoing genocide"

On the upside, this doesn’t even come close to the top-10 most embarrassing things Mark Rutte has done in his career.

España es una democracia. Si Rutte quiere decidir en qué hay que gastar el dinero que se presente a las elecciones. Nuestra postura no ha cambiado. Ni escalada bélica ni gasto militar. La prioridad absoluta de este Gobierno deben ser los servicios públicos y la justicia social.

This obsession is with “young men turning to the right” is everything that is wrong with the discussion about the far right. It is not just an inadequate read of what is happening, and a bias towards the male norm, but it also normalizes the far right and obscures support for inclusive politics. 🧵

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Every time I see this I wonder why most all the writing I see is on the unique politics and circumstance of young men and not on what's going on for young women. The variation is so much more interesting to explain!

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.

hey, remember all those times in history when persecuted minorities got their rights simply by saying “please help, no worries if not!!”

It’s not everyday you get to celebrate a big paper so when you do you might as well call in Miriam. Congrats y gracias @bertous.bsky.social 🫶🏽 Te quiero 😘

It'll never stop making me feel insane that writers are made to feel crazy for appropriately valuing their craft while guys who haven't written an email on their own in three years are painting themselves as essential to the future

I’m proudly part of a tradition of scholars who refused to change their research, teaching, and public statments in the face ot threats from racist authoritarians. They didn’t bend, and neiter should we.

Another good reason to be in favor of trans rights is that being a transphobe demonstrably melts your brain into a deranged sludge. It might be the closest thing there is to a genuine cognitohazard, total memetic obliteration

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

8. The punditry also has convinced itself, and the leadership of many SD parties, that “the people” are the potential voters of the far right, upset about immigration and “wokeness” — probably a projection of their own long-suppressed nativism and authoritarianism.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked. The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...

La estudiante turca, coautora de un artículo a favor de Palestina, fue aprehendida a plena luz del día en EEUU con el argumento de que “apoyar a terroristas que matan a estadounidenses es motivo suficiente para poner fin a la expedición de visados”

my most conservative-coded trait these days is that i honestly think that the worst possible thing that can happen for young men is for the entire society to coddle them. what they need to hear is that they have one life to live and they have to take responsibility for it.
