Apocalyptic images released by Israeli media of the town of Aitaroun, which they are illegally occupying. They are burning homes and destroying civilian infrastructure. Both are war crimes.

BREAKING: Trump just posted a statement claiming the Iran deal will be "FAR BETTER than the JCPOA." This morning: Iran rejected the talks. This afternoon: Iran launched drones at U.S. vessels. 1:35 PM: Trump declares a historic deal is being made. He spent half the statement

Fertilizer shock just got real ⚠️🌍 Nitrogen fertilizer prices have doubled since the Gulf conflict began — and the situation is still unstable. What’s driving it: 🚢 Strait of Hormuz disruption ➡️ ~1/3 of global fertilizer trade hit 📉 Supply collapse Urea exports dropped

Nitrogen fertilizer prices have doubled since the Gulf conflict began — and the situation is still unstable.

What’s driving it:

🚢 Strait of Hormuz disruption
➡️ ~1/3 of global fertilizer trade hit

📉 Supply collapse
Urea exports dropped

Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy. I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all. Out in October with Random House Group.

I was stuck by that as well. This error is why JD is now waiting for the Iranians to decide if they will come to Islamabad at all. A spectacular signal of who has the leverage here.

Summer Lee Francesca Hong Rashida Tlaib Ilhan Omar AOC Ayanna Pressley Analilia Mejia Cori Bush Melat Kiros The idea that we don't have a whole SLATE of amazing progressive women is ridiculous. It's about the policy. Not the identities. Clinton & Harris uniquely failed us.

How we will ration is a political choice. Rationing food shortages by price will be the law of the jungle. We need multilateral coordination and it needs to be organized now *before* shortages become salient.

This is what the Air New Zealand CEO is talking about about. Jet fuel remains in short supply and highly priced. This is an existential issue for that firm and one wonders how long it will be before some capital will be required. Certainly prospects for cheap airfares look slim.

🚨Iranian official tells me that as of this moment (3:38PM ET), Iran won't attend a new round of talks. Official says Pakistan told Iran that Trump will lift the naval blockade in final hours of the ceasefire. If that happens & ceasefire extended, new talks could happen Thursday.

This slipped under the radar a couple of weeks ago. But watch out for the coming blow out in global food prices. Right now it’s energy costs increasing the cost of production. In 3-6 months the absence of harvests due to fertilizer supplies will be the main player. Demand

Given that the US twice attacked Iran while claiming to be negotiating, we can never rule out that the US and Israel resume the war against Iran, even if talks are scheduled. This is what happened in June 2025 and Feb 2026.
