The graph below shows how well the richest Top 1% have done across different countries over the past 200 years. Some interesting patterns explored in 🧵. #dataviz
The US has funded 73% of the military costs associated with the attack on Gaza. According to an analysis by Brown University’s Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, the US government has provided $22.76 billion in military aid to Israel since the conflict began…
Breaching and entering a UN position is a further flagrant violation of international law and Security Council resolution 1701 (2006). Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and resolution 1701.
In Lebanon, Israel is not even bothering to invent excuses for bombing hospitals and fire stations. There is no attempt to fabricate claims about "command and control centers". They are just openly destroying civilian infrastructure on a massive scale.
Israel dropped bombs on a fire station in South Lebanon today, killing 10 Lebanese firefighters as they prepared for rescue operations. Many remain trapped beneath the rubble. This is a massacre of civilians.
Anbefaler kapittel 6 om velferd og fordeling i Nasjonalbudsjettet i år. Mange interessante og oppdaterte tall om den økonomiske ulikheten i Norge regjeringen.no/contentassets/…
Look at this graph to see how Gaza has changed everything. Israel is emboldened to carry out indiscriminate slaughter in Lebanon after almost a year of live-streamed genocide—backed fully by the U.S.—with zero consequences.
X/Twitter user numbers now down by almost a third over the last year in the UK, and by almost a fifth in the US.
Reading accounts of how nurses’ fingers were blown and off and their faces and eyes destroyed when their pagers exploded. In hospitals. Just horrifically evil.
Lots of interesting patterns in these data from FiveThirtyEight, including: (1) Tim Walz estimated to be the most popular politician among the five shown here, (2) The huge contrast between popularity of Harris and Biden, (3) Growing gap between Harris and Trump. #dataviz
This chart is worrying: Africa's manufacturing base has been eroding. We need to care about this because industrialisation translates into both economic sovereignty and economic development. We need to prioritise and support industrialisation in Africa.

Anti-Immigrant Attitudes & Political Participation in Europe: @AndrejKokkonen & @JLBergen find a general political participation gap between pro- and anti-immigrant citizens. In @PolStudies: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… (OPEN ACCESS) @PolStudiesAssoc @SAGECQPolitics @uniyorkpolitics
International rating agencies tend to punish left-wing governments: "significantly higher probabilities of negative rating changes... spreads do adjust to partisan-biased downgrades." Evidence from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch’s rating actions for 23 OECD countries.
Policymaking is biased by both income and education. We shows that both factors cause unequal representation, with education creating a stronger bias toward cosmopolitan policies. New article with @wouterschakel and @sundell in Socio-Economic Review. doi.org/10.1093/ser/mw…
When people ask for the y-axis to be extended to zero, it’s because they want to know whether a trend or movement is significant. The way to show that is by extending the *x-axis* (because showing a longer time series implicitly shows whether or not something is within the…
Can citizens' assemblies strengthen democratic resilience? In a new @scriptsberlin paper that I present at #MINORITYRULE @UniCologne, we show that participation in citizens' assemblies increases political trust, turnout, efficacy and reduce receptiveness to conspiracy theories
Regression is a tool for making comparisons If you don't know / can't easily explain what comparisons you're trying to make, then you don't understand the regression you're running
JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a…
