If you listen to anyone this morning, let it be Gideon Levy. A phenomenal Israeli journalist who has been speaking truth to power for decades. Share his words. Far and Wide.
I stand for reproductive rights in the US, Gaza, & everywhere. I stand for women all over the globe who are affected by the US war machine. Join the letter to VP Kamala Harris to say genocide & war aren't feminist values! @codepink codepink.org/feminist2024?r…
New report by @MatthewMartinUK @NorChurchAid @kjetilg4 Developing countries face worst debt crisis in history - Spending on health and education being cut as nearly half of budgets are used to pay creditors #EndAusterity #debtjustice @EndToAusterity theguardian.com/world/article/…
Israeli spokesperson blames the massacre at the food convoys in Gaza on a "mob". The Channel4 anchor interrupts and asks: "When you say mob, do you mean starving people who have been deprived of food because you haven't let the aid in?" #CEASEFIRE_NOW
Wow, Lula isn't mincing words. Here's the translation: "What's happening in Gaza isn't a war, it's a genocide. It's not a war of soldiers against soldiers. It's a war between a highly trained army and women and children. What's happening in Gaza and with…

Some thoughts on the attacks on US troops by Iraqi militias earlier today and the risk of a broader escalation: For more than three months, many of us have warned that in the absence of a ceasefire in Gaza, the risk of the US getting bogged down in yet another war in the Middle…
Those of us shocked by Biden’s Gaza stance are asking who this man really is. Still not sure, but article in @theintercept led me to a 2020 @TimesofIsrael article on former Israeli PM Begin being surprised by Biden’s openness to inflicting civilian casualties in Lebanon in 1982:
Happy to write this piece for @theprogressive about why Biden is promoting Keynesian increases in public investment at home while promoting fiscal austerity in developing economies abroad... @Jayati1609 @KevinPGallagher
The Chicago School has dominated fiscal policy in Washington for decades, prioritizing deficit-reduction over higher levels of public investment. Biden broke from The Chicago School’s policies but it stops at the U.S. border. #Economics #IMF progressive.org/milton-friedma…
So states can decide you must carry a fetus but not whether you can carry a concealed gun?
US is on cusp of bear market - share prices falling across the board. Except for gun and ammo stocks. Smith & Wesson, Sturm, Ruger & Company, American Outdoor Brands, all surging since Texas massacre.
Guns are banned at the NRA convention in Texas this weekend when Trump speaks. Let that sink in.
IMF chief says Ukraine needs $5b a month and it should be provided in grants, not IMF loans b/c IMF loans have conditionality. (?) So on annualized basis, that would be one-third of all aid money provided globally. wsj.com/articles/ukrai… via @WSJ

Private capital markets are unhinged from our climate and development goals.
In his new book "Gangsters of Capitalism," @KatzOnEarth resurfaces the little-known story of a U.S. attempted coup waged by business leaders in 1934. Capitalists were vehemently opposed to the New Deal and tried to overthrow FDR to establish a fascist government.
So to recap today: ✅Shell got absolutely wrecked in court, must reduce emissions 45% by 2030 ✅Chevron shareholders voted for targets to reduce scope 3 emissions, against management ✅Activist investors got at least 2 directors elected to Exxon's board, a major rebuke 😎
