Filming ICE is an act of journalism. Cell phone footage is vital source material for reporters who can’t be everywhere at once.
Shooting, killing and other targeting of those documenting news is an attack on press freedom and all else that's good in the world.
What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?
Academia too often has a ‘passion first, money second’ culture. Overcoming this mindset is crucial for building a happy career

Happy to share the VoxDev article on my recent joint JDE publication exploring how Indigenous communities in Mexico resisted nation-building policies.
Historian here it’s Hannah Arendt’s death anniversary and she was of course prescient.
White background, red ribbon. Text says “World AIDS Day”.
My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.
Surprising precisely nobody, more CCS plans delayed/abandoned. This is a technology that is just forever overpromising and underdelivering.
The advent of AI might be just the latest stage in a guiding biological process that has produced ever more complex, mutually dependent organisms over the history of life

If this is a deal, then it's a deal to do nothing meaningful whatsoever
As predicted at the beginning of the COP 2 weeks ago, this was a complete and utter waste of everybody's time

⚡️ More and more fields and forests around Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, are covered with fiber optic wires from drones.
En 2026, les californiens vont peut-être adopter une taxe de 5% sur la fortune des milliardaires. Par référendum, car leur gouverneur (démocrate...) s'oppose à taxer la fortune.
Cette proposition évite toutes les critiques formulées à l'encontre de la taxe Zucman. ⬇️

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
Ironic that Syrians were dubbed a "flexible workforce" for years, when that meant informal employment. Now that they're returning to Syria, it is a "labor shortage."
Syrians weren't/aren't the problem. It is the business model!

ANES Data Release! electionstudies.org/data-center/...
The 3-wave ANES panel is now available. It merges data from 3 election studies (2016-2020-2024), the first time the ANES has collected interviews of the same respondents across 3 presidential elections.
Line graph time series of annual mean Arctic sea ice extent from 1979 to 2024. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice and 2016 and 2020 are the lowest years on record. The colors of the graph are changed to a Halloween style. Data is from the NSIDC Sea Ice Index v3. A linear least squares trend line is shown across all years.
Now here is something scary... 👻
And some more spooky climate trends for today: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...

Le RN vient de faire voter une résolution d’un racisme totalement décomplexé.
J’ai la nausée et j’ai honte du message que notre pays envoie à tous•tes nos compatriotes d’origine algérienne.
L’obsession de la droite et de l’extrême droite pour l’Algérie a un parfum de revanche colonial.

#Communiqué 🗞️ Une étude démontre que 60% des plateformes de glaces flottantes situées autour de la calotte glaciaire antarctique pourraient disparaître sur le long terme. Ces plateformes freinent aujourd’hui l’augmentation du niveau des mers. ❄️

Le contre-budget du RN est clair : ce parti veut accélérer l'effondrement climatique et rendre le pays inhabitable.
Leurs propositions sont aussi délirantes pour l'environnement que l'économie, puisqu'elles anéantiront la filière française du renouvelable.
Bonjour les charlots.
#CNRSNews 📰 Megafires in North America impact air quality in Europe as the smoke they release, carried by the atmospheric circulation system, takes only a few days to cross the Atlantic. The various pollutants it contains have been spotted as far away as Germany. 🔥
