The Security Council approves an International Stabilization Force and US-headed Peace Board for #Gaza reconstruction. No mention of 2-state solution or who constitutes the ISF. Top-down, ignoring the wishes of Gazans, & unlikely to succeed. #Palestine passblue.com/2025/11/17/t...

Trump's remarks about restarting nuclear weapons testing is dangerous not only in provoking other nuclear powers to respond, but also in encouraging nuclear proliferation. Can #Germany, #Poland , Japan and #SouthKorea depend on an erratic USA? #Security foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/14/t...

Trump vaguely calls, after a 30-year moratorium, for a resumption of nuclear testing. Expert response: "It is really an extraordinarily dangerous time of history." #NationalSecurity www.commondreams.org/news/extreme...

"Capitalism has always been based on #Growth ." Yes, and growth will soon lead to an ugly end for many of us. But the inner logic of capitalism is profits, not growth. So the issue is: how to reconcile profits with constraints on inputs? #ClimateCrisis #CleanEnergy

Nonviolent tactics are intuitively obvious to people: witness the Canadian boycott of US goods and refusal to travel to the US. Both in response to Trump's bullying of Canada through tariffs and annexation threats. #RESISTANCE #Canada charlieangus.substack.com/p/canadas-pe...

"No Kings" protest built solidarity, in an atomized society, among those opposed to authoritarianism. Protesters could see they were far from alone. Solidarity and action also builds a sense of political efficacy. But this is not enough. What follows? #NoKings

Here is a brilliant historical perspective on the war in #Gaza , by a renowned historian of the Middle East, Ilan Pappe. Pappe sees Israel as a case of settler #colonialism . #GazaCeasefire www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvb2...

Is Trump serious about annexing Greenland, #Panama Canal and Canada? It's hard to understand why he would be - the US already has access to minerals and security agreements. But still... #colonialism #invasion thebulletin.org/premium/2025...

What we have in #Gaza is not a peace plan but a pause before hostilities continue. The only basis for real peace is a mutual acceptance that the two sides must live together in the shared space of greater Palestine. #GazaCeasefire

Enormous sums spent on "nuclear modernization" by the US do not increase US or western security. China responds by developing a new missile force that can survive a first strike. And a nuclear war cannot be won owing to #ClimateCatastrophe . #geopol thebulletin.org/2025/09/the-...

Social science focuses on analysis. But that is insufficient in a world going wrong. We need diagnosis, but also prognosis (vision) and prescription (what is to be done). There are realistic alternatives to militarism. #peaceispossible www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zEK...
