⚡️Son of president who shut down US corruption watchdogs slams Ukraine for corruption.

Donald Trump Jr. warned on Dec. 7 that his father may walk away from Ukraine, parroting Kremlin propaganda about corruption in Kyiv driving Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Kallas: Giving Ukraine the resources it needs to defend itself doesn’t prolong the war, it can help end it.

Securing multi-year funding for Ukraine in December is absolutely essential.

We wanted to understand the Trump administration's plan to end the war in Ukraine. So we talked to three unvaccinated Joe Rogan listeners at a Jersey Mike's in Cape May.

War historian Antony Beevor explained in an interview with The Telegraph why Russia commits such atrocities in Ukraine: He argues that Russia has historically developed a belief that conspicuous cruelty is a necessary weapon of war.

Trump says Zelenskyy is using war in Ukraine to delay new elections.

Someone's probably told him Ukraine law doesn't allow elections during war time.

Trump doesn't say Netanyahu is using war on Gaza to delay his trial on corruption charges.

Some Israelis say Netanyahu is doing just that.

Putin is not preparing to end the war. He has signed a decree ordering the conscription of reserve personnel for military training in 2026.

Ukraine has accepted all 6 proposals presented by Trump, while Russia accepted 0.

Ukraine has done everything possible to end the war. Even the majority of Republicans understand that like the Congressman from South Carolina, Joe Wilson. We see another episode why appeasement never leads to peace.

From designing clothes to refashioning cow burps: Sam’s $40 million career switch After hearing of ground-breaking Australian research into how seaweed could reduce planet-warming methane emissions in cows, Sam Elsom left fashion behind.

It is really quite a serious problem to see the broad lack of critical scrutiny of the seaweed cow burp thing, in Australia.

Every time I go looking for hard data or independent verifications or tests, I come up dry. Long, lovingly photographed media profiles? Easy.

That's not exactly degrowth.

That's chaos and incompetence.

Economic questions: The E F Schumacher question This is one of a series of posts that will ask what the most pertinent question raised by a prominent influencer of political economy might have been, and what the relevance of that question might be ...

“The economy must operate within ecological limits or it will cease to exist. Growth that destroys its foundations is not progress, it is self-harm.” #PostCapitalism #Degrowth #PostGrowth

The E F Schumacher question

"This technology will destroy all your jobs and render you useless to society. You should adopt it today, and subscribe to our product so we can make more money!"
Not a strong pitch, one could say.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

People say class war is outdated.
Yet wages stagnate, housing is fantasy, and billionaires gain more in a week than workers in a lifetime.
If that’s not a war, it’s the quiet occupation of our lives.

#ClassWar

Every social crisis - housing, health, climate, wages - shares one engine: wealth hoarded at the top.
Redistribution isn’t radical.
Letting a handful of men decide the future of the species is.

I think it's reasonable to advocate for and promote smaller families, especially in wealthy countries.

What Makes Us INVISIBLE: Neoliberalism, Elite Capture, Empire of Normality Hello fellow humans,

“We must repeat again & again: capitalism is the proportional relationship between power & property. All our problems come from this doctrine of proportionality: the lack of economic democracy, the obsession with growth, the fetish with hierarchies.” #degrowth

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

It's impressive that Big Tech was like: We aren't douchy enough. What if we made asshole intelligence and burned up some of the earth's power and water faster?

The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus
