Big Tech’s market dominance is becoming ever more extreme In a week when Nvidia’s value reached $5tn, investors in even the broadest index of global companies are now heavily exposed to the AI boom

Welcome to technofeudalism on steroids: Just 8 of the S&P500 companies account for 35% of the entire US market’s value, 69% of the gains since the market bottomed in April, and almost 80% of the S&P 500’s net income growth in the last year.

No Kings Means No Barons Yanis Varoufakis explains why resisting autocrats like Donald Trump requires challenging the oligarchs who enable them.

Turning the spotlight on the King while letting the barons off the hook will not stop Donald Trump. The illusion of the strong man who will fix everything cannot be dispelled by reviving the illusion that oligarchy offers us democratic choices. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/n...

In a little over 30', I shall be talking with David Adler about what it was like, as a Jew, to be abducted by the Israeli Army on the high seas, to be mistreated in prison, and to come face to face with ultra-Zionist jailers committing genocide in the name of the Jews www.youtube.com/live/4TyoVJH...

Nέα έκθεση της @FranceskAlbs αποκαλύπτει τη συνενοχή σωρείας κρατών στη γενοκτονία. Η συνενοχή τους καταρράκωσε κάθε έννοια Διεθνούς Δικαίου.
Τώρα; Είτε αφήνουμε το Διεθνές Δίκαιο να βυθιστεί στην ανυποληψία, είτε τερματίζουμε τη συνενοχή στη γενοκτονία. ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

A new UN report by @FranceskAlbs maps out the complicity of too many states in the Palestinians’ genocide. Their complicity shattered the notion of International Law. Our choice? Let Int Law fade into ignominy, or end third state complicity in genocide. www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

Ο Τσακαλώτος απαντά στο pontiki για την επιστολή της 9ης Ιουλίου 15 στον Ντάισεμπλουμ - Θέλει δικαστική απόφαση ότι είναι αριστερός; | topontiki.gr H ανάρτησή του

Ο Τσίπρας αποφάσισε πολύ πριν το Δημοψήφισμα να προσχωρήσει στην Τρόικα. Ήλπιζε ότι ένα ΝΑΙ θα τον νομιμοποιούσε. Όταν ο λαός είπε ΟΧΙ, αποφάσισε να τον ανατρέψει – εξ ου κι η παραίτησή μου. Ο Ευκλείδης διορίστηκε για να διεκπεραιώσουν, μαζί, την ανατροπή www.topontiki.gr/2025/10/18/o...

Είναι ο μοναδικός άνθρωπος που μπορεί να ηγηθεί ειρηνευτικών διαπραγματεύσεων Παλαιστίνιων-Ισραηλινών. Για αυτό ακριβώς κρατείται όμηρος και βασανίζεται επανειλημμένα για περισσότερο από δύο δεκαετίες από το Ισραήλ. Με την συναίνεση της Δύσης φυσικά... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

This is the heart-wrenching story of a man who is uniquely capable of leading peace negotiations and who, for this precise reason, is held hostage and tortured repeatedly for more than two decades by Israel. With the West's connivance, of course... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Ενώ οι Ισραηλινοί γιορτάζουν ελεύθερα την απελευθέρωση των ομήρων τους, οι συγγενείς των παλαιστίνιων εκφοβίζονται με φρικτές συνέπειες αν τολμήσουν να γιορτάσουν την απελευθέρωση των δικών τους. Αυτό δεν είναι Ειρήνη. Είναι ο ορισμός του Απαρτχάιντ! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

While Israelis are celebrating wildly the release of their hostages, Palestinian families are terrorised that, if they dare celebrate the release of their own, hell will be visited upon them. This is not Peace breaking out. This is Apartheid at its worst! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

ΟΜΗΡΙΑΣ & ΕΓΚΛΗΜΑΤΟΣ ΣΥΝΕΧΕΙΑ! Το Ισραήλ αρνείται να απελευθερώσει τον Δρ. Hussam Abu Safiya, ο οποίος επέμεινε να μείνει στο πλευρό των ασθενών του στο βομβαρδισμένο νοσοκομείο του, ακόμη και μετά τη δολοφονία του ίδιου του γιου του. Από τότε κρατείται σε ένα από τα κέντρα βασανιστηρίων του Ισραήλ.

IF THIS IS NOT HOSTAGE TAKING, WHAT IS? Israel refuses to release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who insisted on staying with his patients in his bombed hospital even after his own son was murdered. Since then he has been held in one of Israel's torture facilities.
