"Debt is old. It’s older than writing. The first writing system, Sumerian cuneiform, evolved out of marks used for accounting. From the beginning, writing was used to track who had what, and, crucially, who owed what to whom." 🤑💰🔍🧐 www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-debt-s...

🇮🇹Italy: Thousands demonstrate against Prime Minister Meloni's budget. Italian unions have said that the new budget bill would "worsen people's living and working conditions," underfunding healthcare and education, while overspending on defense. #Wrldpoli🌐 www.dw.com/en/italy-tho...

Donald Trump doesn't want to release the Epstein files because he's in the files. Trump is in the files because he was "best friends" with Epstein for years. He was "best friends" with Epstein for years because they were abusing women and girls together. His attacks won't change any of that.

Mindblowing stuff.

El Congreso aprueba la Ley de Servicios de Atención a la Clientela después de mucho trabajo y de la presión social de todas las organizaciones de consumidores. Estamos más cerca del fin de las llamadas spam, de los gastos de gestión inesperados y de garantizar la atención que merece la ciudadanía.

El Congreso aprueba la ley contra las llamadas spam del Ministerio de Consumo. Quienes buscan insistir en que existe un clima de bloqueo político se quedan sin argumentos ante un gobierno que da pasos cada día para mejorar la vida de la gente.

For the first time in EU history, someone faces criminal charges for organising a Pride march. Géza Buzás-Hábel, a teacher and organiser of Pécs Pride in Hungary, could be jailed for up to a year, simply for leading a peaceful march for equality. 🧵

Alongside @bma.org.uk, we've written to the Secretary of State for Work & Pensions urging Long COVID and severe post Covid-19 complications be recognised as an industrial disease. This change would ensure health and social care workers with Long COVID can access the financial support they need.

138 fusilados. Cuerpos con signos de tortura. Cada semana, bajo tierra, aparecen nuevas voces: los que el franquismo quiso callar. En Riotinto (Huelva), 138 historias más. Torturados. Silenciados. Y mientras el fascismo vuelve a desfilar sin pudor. Ni olvido ni perdón.

📺 Sánchez, a Abascal: "Todos somos corruptos salvo él. Seamos francos, tanto que le gusta a usted esa palabra. ¿Puede hablar de corrupción cuando se pasa un año cobrando 80.000 euros de los españoles en el chiringuito que le creo Esperanza Aguirre?" tinyurl.com/2m6neued

The UK government thought “much of the British public” would “remain largely unconcerned” by its ban on Palestine Action, an internal document obtained by The New York Times shows. The protests, arrests and court cases that followed suggest otherwise. nyti.ms/4nLuJ1x

Migrating wild birds are spreading the bird flu virus to domesticated flocks, increasing the risk of eventually seeing a human outbreak. Scientists are troubled by the muted federal response. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Al menos 23 fusilados hallados en una fosa común en Villanueva de la Serena (Estremaúra): atados, con disparos en la cabeza, uno con seis. El fascismo creyó que el silencio y la tierra bastarían para borrarlo todo. Pero la tierra habla, y cada hallazgo rompe noventa años de ocultación y silencio.

Junts va a impedir que un niño con autismo tenga un asistente en clase. Que un migrante con neumonía sea atendido en urgencias. Que una madre soltera reciba ayuda para cuidar de su hijo enfermo. Que un anciano dependiente tenga asistencia en casa. Que la historia les recuerde por esto.

Compulsory team teaching on every module is perhaps the biggest ever threat to the quality of teaching in UK universities. It causes chaos on the ground for timetabling, ruins course coherence and turns lecturers into permanent supply teachers. It is pedagogically incoherent… 1/

Unsurprised to hear any politics that looks to address inequalities, looks to centre the poorest in our societies, anything that challenges the unsustainable status quo, dismissed as 'radical socialism'. Political analysis/commentary is pretty poor globally but in the UK it is in the sewer.

A majority of tickets will cost less, some up to £1.50 per trip. Any increases will be small (20p) and easily offset through extra flexibility. The move paves the way for rail coming into the @BeeNetwork from 12/26. Big thanks to @Heidi_Labour and the DfT team for backing us. 🙏🏻 2/2

BIG NEWS On 7/12/25, GM sees the biggest change to rail services for 30+ years. A new fairer, simpler fare system will come in across our 96 stations. 🐝 Singles will be half the price of returns 🐝 Tickets will be valid on any operator 🐝 Average fare will fall by 5.6% 1/2

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

This is what a New Era looks like.

In Hungary, Pastor Gábor Iványi, whose church supports people in poverty, faces absurd charges. The pastor and his church are human rights defenders providing shelter, food, education to people left behind by the state. The move is part of a wider crackdown on dissent. www.hrw.org/news/2025/11...
