Miles de personas toman las calles en el 50 aniversario del golpe en Argentina en honor a los desaparecidos: “Que digan dónde están”

50 years after Argentina’s bloody coup, families still search for and bury the disappeared Nearly 50 years after Argentina's 1976 coup that led to a repressive dictatorship, families are still searching for and burying the disappeared.

Nearly 50 years after Argentina's 1976 coup that led to a repressive dictatorship, families are still searching for and burying the disappeared. Recently, relatives in northern Argentina laid to rest a young couple identified from a mass grave, showing both progress and limits in the search.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

the kind of thing that gets played at a war crimes trial

Institutionalized torture, utterly psychotic, depraved. There are simply no words adequate enough to describe this. This whole system has to be dismantled.

The problem of knowledge in the Anthropocene In the twentieth century, debates about economic planning were largely shaped by arguments concerning knowledge and the acquisition of information. As the century drew to a close, the dispute was a...

In this paper I show that the prevalent forms of knowledge production and use are inadequate to guarantee the perpetuation of a safe ecological space and argue in favor of planning episteme against green finance 1/

Stephen Miller going down at the power of the labor movement would be one of the proudest moments I'd witness in my nearly 20 years in organized labor.

Trump’s Argentine gamble benefits almost no one Propping up the peso is unlikely to lead to a sustainable improvement in the country’s economy

The “almost no one” is doing a lot of work here—acknowledging that Trump's lifeline serves asset managers and hedge funds, including Bessent’s former colleagues Druckenmiller and Citrone, deeply exposed to 🇦🇷 bonds. This is global financial corruption, pure and simple.

And success itself: by lifting millions out of poverty, the MAS lost sway over many citizens no longer moved by its plebeian, pro-indigenous, anti-oligarchic message. This also happened in Brazil and Argentina.

Three forces drove the MAS’s collapse: the economic and BoP crisis from collapsing gas revenues—the perennial curse of extractivism in South America; internal factionalism that paralyzed government and fractured society and the bases of the party...

Rodrigo Paz can be defined as a centre-right politician, associated with moderate, market-oriented policies. He is seen as a 'pragmatic' leader, emphasizing institutional stability, fiscal 'responsibility', and consensus-building. Previously he dismissed libertarianism and Milei-style politics.

Resultados de las elecciones en Bolivia, en vivo | Inicia el conteo de votos para decidir el próximo presidente entre Rodrigo Paz y Tuto Quiroga Por primera vez en 20 años, las papeletas no tienen a un candidato del Movimiento al Socialismo de Evo Morales

End of an era in Bolivia. After 20 years, the MAS (Movement Towards Socialism) leaves govt — Latin America’s most radical political experiment winds down. Happily, the far right has been blocked: Tuto Quiroga, a protégé of 1970s dictator Hugo Banzer, won't govern. The presidency goes to Rodrigo Paz.

Well, ok. But if you have Mokyr then Bob Allen should be there too.

Remember when dense networks of strategic cross-shareholdings among firms, native to coordinated market economies, went the way of the dodo?

Well, the dodo is back. Say hello to USA, Inc.

The Nobel goes to María Corina Machado—not Trump, but a loyal disciple of his causes: backing Netanyahu, cheering Latin America’s far right, calling for a U.S. invasion of Venezuela, and dreaming of privatizing its oil. Maduro is a dictator, but this isn’t peace.

If profits shape the energy transition we need to understand the biggest profit event this century: the 2022 oil and gas price spike.

Carbon offsets fail to cut global heating due to ‘intractable’ systemic problems, study says Analysis of 25 years of evidence shows most schemes are poor quality and fail to lower emissions

Argentines are losing patience with Milei’s economy Libertarian leader has slashed inflation but austerity and strong peso have stalled activity

MI primer acto político fue dejar de comer carne. El segundo, manifestarme por Miguel Angel Blanco. Pero no entendí lo que significa poner el cuerpo por una causa hasta hoy. Mi columna de hoy es un homenaje a los que me lo enseñaron: David Adler y @mushon.bsky.social elpais.com/opinion/2025...

Free Radicals | Sammy Feldblum Though José Mujica did not publish much writing, his views on life and politics live on through the corpus of interviews.

“The conversations are most touching when exploring questions of how to live, which Chomsky and Mujica tether to, though never fully reduce to, the political.”

How polarised is Britain? Behind media perceptions of a sharpening political divide is a more complicated picture

Terrific weekend essay by @henrymance.bsky.social

Ayer leía a alguien decir que por qué Bluesky no se centraba en hacer una red social guay y se dejaba de mierdas de protocolos y descentralización. Es tremendo que ni con dos de las redes más importantes del mundo cayendo en manos de la ultraderecha seamos capaces de tomarnos en serio este tema.

Japan’s biggest threat is demographic decline, but the LDP still thinks immigration is the real problem.

Fair enough: opening up to foreigners once brought Japan plenty of trouble — like kanji, Zen, and chopsticks.

Argentina’s wily currency traders drain Javier Milei’s dollars Labyrinthine restrictions and chronic instability spawn strategies to profit from foreign exchange policies

Austeritarianism, $20bn of illegitimate IMF debt, interest rates that reached 80%, a $20bn U.S. bailout, political backing from Bessent, and capital controls—and still the peso fell 7% in the last seven days.

Milei’s predatory casino is backfiring, and Argentina’s economy remains in free fall.

Western ‘leaders’ once paraded Greta as a symbol of moral clarity—until she condemned Israel’s genocide. Now they don’t even care about her safety
