The rise of Americaβs hard left
Economic populists offer an alternative to the authoritarian right, but they have to balance the righteous with the practical
took a deep breath before reading this 'hard left' @financialtimes.com take but at least it's more honest on why 'hard' in the US is basically middle of the road social democratic policy everywhere else (and what Biden campaigned on in 2020!)

I hope @zackpolanski.bsky.social makes this key talking point for those who think Reform will restore public services or improve cost of living crisis (have seen a few) - Reform are a bunch of hapless neoliberals, Javier Millei wannabes with not much left to cut after a decade of Tory austerity

Today, 250.000 people took to the streets of Amsterdam to protest Israel's genocidal violence in Gaza and the cowardly response by the Dutch government. It followed on two earlier protests, one with 150.000 protesters, and the first one with about 100.000. By Dutch standards, these are huge numbers.

Israel is piling crime on top of crime on top of crime.
No wonder it is determined to bring down the entire edifice of international humanitarian law - it's the only hope of protecting itself from consequences.
Btw: the allegations are significantly worse than bedbugs.

may let them pollute for another 15 (!!!) years instead of nationalising Thames Water?
