I generally think people are underreacting to the fact that Argentina embraced libertarian Muskonomics and it took not even two years for it to so thoroughly destroy the economy that we’re forced to personally bail the country out (because Milei bought Musk a chainsaw).

predictable seeing some self proclaimed socialists attack Gary over this. In s wales we are now in the fight of our lives to stop reform winning in labour heartlands-presumably we should scream at people on the doorstep, call them bigots? Not engage with them? Unserious children

I'm quite frankly sickened by some of the responses I've seen to the attack on the synagogue. Antisemitism existed long before the Israeli occupation and it remains a serious problem. The lack of empathy for the victims of a senseless attack on a place of worship is appalling.

The Guardian confirms reports that one Sumud Flotilla boat out of the 44 that were sailing, Mikeno, broke through the blockade and reached Palestinian waters for the first time since 2009 -- another reminder that history did not start on October 7th. Absolutely incredible.

Let’s get a few things clear 1) All people deserve safety, regardless of their views 2) Conflation of Israel and British Jews is always wrong, regardless who’s doing it 3) If you’re using today to score points then you probably don’t care about the victims as much as you claim

Fucking chilling. But this will piss off a lot of high level military generals, LOL. "After breaking fast tonight, while preparing for dinner and catching up on the flood of missed calls and messages, I heard from sources I trust. And what I heard stopped me cold. The

This is a sensible way to approach concern about extremism + radicalism in the UK. It's better than an Ostrich approach which implies that any criticism of extremism is racism. And it provides space for allyship with moderate Muslims who themselves condemn extremism.

It's not spin to point out that other Muslim women have voiced concern with Sharia courts, including here. opendemocracy.net/en/5050/one-wo… Liberals + left need to provide space for concern about Sharia courts + community coercion or else people like Goodwin will dominate the debate.

Zack Polanski making the case for a wealth tax Penny Mordaunt comes up with some random figures Polanksi corrects her adding "I'm not talking about hairdressers, plumbers, or people running small businesses. This is not a tax on ambition, this is a tax on people earning more

The 'main strength of Bhattacharyya’s work is to treat racial capitalism as an invisibilization mechanism which undermines shared recognition of the cross-racial immiseration of different groups.' Read my review article here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It's frustrating seeing theorists frame the right-wing surge to a project of (mere) nostalgia, as if it's entirely unconnected to present-day immiseration. Others like Arlie Hochschild do the hard (field)work of connecting it to economic dislocation. This is crucial.

I'm a qualitative sociologist, so I interview hundreds of people. I have interviewed single mothers fleeing abusing relationships making modest income from renting rooms/Airbnb. This landlord move is misguided and will simply alienate voters + indirectly boost corporate profits.

The main rentiers todays are companies like Blackrock and Serco which will capitalise from this while Green hands more wins to Reform. Many will think this is a stupid policy but won't say so publicly. It will undermine the much better aim of rent control.

I think a National Care Service is the best, most universally appealing approach. Wales and Scotland have made good strides here. Groups like Greens should message this.
