The bogus four-day workweek that AI supposedly ‘frees up’ Business leaders tout AI as a path to shorter weeks and better balance. But without power, workers are unlikely to share the gains

The AI four-day workweek will come with four days pay, or less, and not even for all

Esto ha pasado bastante desapercibido. Y es clave. La transición agroalimentaria no puede esperar más.

➡️ La ciencia ha tumbado un mantra: sí se puede alimentar a las 8.000 millones de personas de este planeta con la agricultura regenerativa. En @climatica.coop.

Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long? I have spent the past two years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with supporters of Israel. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

“What verdict will history render on those many moments of cowardice and silence from journalists who fell into line with the genocidaires? What will it mean to look in the mirror and realize that, when it mattered most, they chose career safety and complicity in genocide denial?”

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point

🔴 So brutal hat die ICE-Miliz in Minneapolis Menschen angegriffen, die gegen die rassistischen Übergriffe von ICE protestieren. Und schließlich hat ein ICE-Beamter die 37-jährige Renee Good grundlos in ihrem Auto erschossen. Das passiert, wenn Rechts regiert.

So important!! Rethinking fascism from a Black, rather than liberal European, perspective. Fascism not as aberration but as 'composed from the ideological, political and technological materials’ (C Robinson) of the entirety of Western civilization. Thanks for this piece

Winter storms have torn through Gaza’s camps, destroying more than 22,000 tents and flooding shelters. With little insulation, fuel, or medicine, families face freezing nights as aid agencies warn this winter could prove deadly without urgent intervention.
