NEW: Billions of dollars that could have been spent on education and healthcare in Mexico are being diverted into cosmetic World Cup projects. Soccer is paid for and celebrated by the working class. It should benefit them. Myriam Hernandez of Fight Inequality Alliance in @inequality.org:

For years, we have been fed a narrative that frames billionaires as heroes and extravagant wealth as the natural result of hard work—a narrative that only works if we ignore the unfair tax systems, nepotism, and entrenched power structures working against the vast majority of us.

Forbes billionaire rankings feel less like a success story and more like a scoreboard for how broken the system is. 3,400 billionaires. $20 trillion. But sure, there’s “no money” for health, education, climate.... The math isn't mathing. Short piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/fightine...

Breaking: Oxfam America is joining the lawsuit to block the Trump administration's assault on humanitarian aid. The attack on foreign assistance and USAID is an illegal and unconstitutional action that exacerbates existing humanitarian crises and will have life or death consequences for millions.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

This is becoming the mainstream, consensus position in the global humanitarian / human rights community. It should be recognised and treated as such. Not just in the general discourse, but by policymakers above all. They have a specific obligation to prevent genocide. Active facilitation is criminal
