The Global North is responsible for 86% of emissions in excess of the 'safe' planetary boundary. Hurricane Melissa is the outcome of atmospheric colonisation, a form of imperialist appropriation that imposes permanent de-development on the South.

Mamdani’s liberal capitulation is a clear lesson of what happens when left organisations do not maintain power over their elected members. Without mechanisms of accountability, they will inevitably cave to the pressures of the status quo.

Since the Paris Agreement, Morgan Stanley has invested $183.5 billion into fossil fuels. Now, the bank “expects a 3C world” and projects profit opportunities in air conditioning. This is disaster capitalism.

☠️ Maersk is more than just a merchant of genocidal war. It is also wrecking the planet and exploiting its workers. ⚠️ From pumping the atmosphere full of toxic pollution to “reprehensible” violations of worker safety, Maersk’s socio-ecological destruction is the source of its mega profits. 🧵

Europe’s rearmament is a desperate attempt at relevance in a multipolar world. It’s as delusional as it is dangerous. If its political class had a spine, it would punish the US by reorienting itself to the emerging pole of the world system: the East and South.

🏆 In his inauguration speech, Trump proclaimed, “The golden age of America starts now.” This promise of national renewal by breaking from the old is emblematic of the far right's politics in the North Atlantic. But is the far right really a populist force challenging the neoliberal consensus? 🧵
