Israeli soldiers in Gaza surrounded a UN convoy with tanks, rammed it with a bulldozer and dumped dirt on one of the UN vehicles to trap the staff inside. The UN staff were on their way to help administer polio vaccines to northern Gaza - a trip previously approved by Israel.

Why is it that Sam Altman et al can speak the language of speculative fiction when it comes to *what* AI could do, but never *how* it is built? To expand our imaginations, Common Wealth is launching a new programme of work on democratising power over AI common-wealth.org/publications/t…

“To rely on private rather than public capital … is a deliberate policy of upward redistribution from bill-payers to the financial sector” Ep 9 is LIVE! @cmmonwealth's Melanie Brusseler & Chris Hayes on how public ownership can transform our energy system youtu.be/UeFtWeu6Bfg?si…

In which Chris Hayes and I discuss the architectural form of the public enterprise, fractured agency and the state in electricity markets, and whether we need to overthrow capital tout court before we can decarbonize. Thanks to The Break Down and Adrienne Buller

Cool new resource from World BEYOND War to visualize overseas military bases- not just of the US, but of all overseas bases (mostly US allies)- and get visuals of the bases, along with the environmental and social problems associated with them. worldbeyondwar.org/military-empir…

Anyone who thinks the Israeli military-industrial complex is, or readily could be, self-sufficient, should read this: fdd.org/analysis/2024/…

part not in play: during Haitian Revolution Hamilton and Jefferson covertly spent $726,000-already appropriated as part of debt payment to France so they didn’t need Congress approval-to buy arms for French planters to put down what TJ called “cannibals of the terrible republic.”

The Ministry of Health in Gaza has just published a 649-page document with the the name, age, gender, ID number of every Palestinian killed in Gaza from October 7 to August 31 that it has info for (over 34k out of 40k). The 1st 14 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year old)

Long🧵 about my good friend Dr. Hammam Alloh, killed by #Israel in November 2023. I first met Hammam in 2015: He was a brilliant young doctor in #Gaza, when I was on my annual visit to teach at the Islamic University of Gaza. We chatted about his children. 1/ Health Workers Alliance for Palestine

Urgent time to put state industrial policy and conversion away from military and fossil fuel production on the table as Khem Rogaly Common Wealth argue common-wealth.org/author/khem-ro…

The past 48 hours have brought some of the most horrifying images of Palestinian children in Gaza murdered, maimed, shredded by Israeli attacks. This is what the U.S. is arming and funding and continuing to facilitate.

Media should stop saying Israel is telling people in southern Lebanon to "evacuate." Israel is engaged in psychological warfare against civilians as part of its broader military attacks. This is an expulsion order under threat. It is the same tactic used in Gaza.

Overwhelmed this morning by news from family in Lebanon. In our village, reports of a mom and her daughters killed in their home by an Israeli airstrike. In my cousins’, their great aunt and 3 daughters, the same. President Biden the more weapons you send, the more civilians killed.

Past few days - since major escalation in Israel/Hezbollah war - saw a spike in USAF heavylifters to the region: 2 (at least) flights to Akrotiri base in Cyprus 2 (at least) to Nevatim base in Israel 4 (at least) to Incirlik in Turkey

BREAKING: The U.S. will send additional troops to the Middle East amid escalation between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Pentagon says. apnews.com/article/israel…

As Timour Azhari notes, the number of people killed in Lebanon today is more than a quarter of the entire death toll from the 2006 war (lasted 34 days). The intensification of Israeli brutality is the direct consequence of decades of Israeli impunity. They do whatever they want.

“The big question about industrial policy today is whether that logic still applies, or whether an expansion of the state’s role in the economic realm can be combined with a diminution of its capacity for war.”

KEEP SHARING, KEEP PRESSURING! here is a poem marcellus wrote about the genocide in gaza. our struggles are entwined!

The Israeli gov't knowingly starved Palestinian civilians, USA gov't knew they were doing it, the Biden administration deliberately covered up this fact & lied about it. This is as big a scandal as imaginable. Yet it is likely to receive little traction in the mainstream media.

Fantastic, must read essay from JW Mason in Dissent Magazine. He asks: is US green industrial policy without escalated warmongering possible? dissentmagazine.org/article/indust… Also appreciate the shout out to my work, you can read that article open access here ➡️ direct.mit.edu/glep/article/2…
