New right wing thing is describing crimes as
generically as possible to pretend like they're
not crimes. Someone gets convicted of
conspiracy and they start yelling "Wow so it's
illegal to make plans with friends now"

A fox is always more dangerous
in the forest than the wolf.
You can see the wolf coming.
You know what he's up to.
But the fox will fool you.
He comes at you with his mouth
shaped in such a way that even
though you see his teeth,
you think he's smiling
and take him for a friend.

Structural adjustment: damages, reparations and pathways to non-recurrence
Jason Hickel, Salmaan Keshavjee, Maxine Burkett, Eugene T Richardson

Abstract
Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank implemented neoliberal structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) across most countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. SAPS imposed austerity, privatisation and economic deregulation and have been associated with severe negative impacts on human welfare, including (a) declining real wages and working-class consumption, (b) increased rates of poverty and basic-needs deprivation, (c) increased neonatal and maternal mortality and (d) reduced health system access. Structural adjustment also created conditions for increased financial outflows and drain from the global South through unequal exchange. This paper reviews evidence of these damages and proposes possible options for reparations and distributive justice. We argue that the IMF and the World Bank should be democratised and restructured—or otherwise replaced by alternative institutions—to prevent further harm.

Early on, Ta-Nehisi Coates observed, "We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can't the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy... and I would submit to you that if you can't draw the line at genocide, you probably can't draw the line at democracy."

[A graph of historical emissions of the above categories with lines of their corresponding colors, with 1850 to 2025 on the x-axis and Gigatonnes CO2e from 0 to 40 on the y-axis.
"CO2 Fossil Fuels and Industry" saw a steady increase from 0 to 5 from 1850 to 1950, with a major rate of increase since the 1950s from 5 to close to 40 in 2025 with only minor dips in between (mainly during economic recessions).
"CO2 Land-use" steadily increased from about 3 in 1850 to 6 in the 1950s, spiked to around 9 in the 1960s and has slowly come back down to about 4 in 2025, with several spikes and dips.
"CH4" slowly increased from about 2 in 1850 to 4 in 1950, saw a brief rate increase until 1980 when it reached around 6, and has largely resumed a flatter increase since then with some minor jumps since the 2000s, approaching 10 in 2024.
"N2O" very slowly increased from 0 to around 1 in 1940 and increased more rapidly until the 1980s when it mostly leveled off again at around 3-3.5 in 2024.
"F-gases" or Fluorinated gases (replacements for ozone depleting CFCs and HCFCs) have increased since the 1980s, leveling off somewhat in the 2020s at around 2 in 2024.]

The United States has a long and bloody history of regime change, filled with death and destruction, exploitation and deprivation. It looks like another country was added to the list tonight.

"Map of locations affected by United States involvement in regime change. If more than one category applies, only the most direct action is labeled, in the order of preference listed below (from most indirect to most direct). If the action affected (one of) a current country's immediate legal predecessor(s) (such as South Vietnam for Vietnam), the modern country is labeled to reflect it (for this reason, the Kingdom of Hawaii is excluded, as it is not an immediate legal predecessor of the United States).

Blue: United States of America

Green: Interfered in elections on behalf of preferred candidate(s) or against non-preferred candidate(s)

Purple: Organized or gave material/financial support to coup plotters/armed groups which failed to overthrow incumbent government

Orange: Organized or gave material/financial support to coup plotters/armed groups which overthrew incumbent government.

Brown: Invaded country to enforce U.S. interests outside declaration of war.

Data is taken from the following articles on the English Wikipedia:

- United States involvement in regime change
- United States involvement in regime change in Latin America
- Foreign interventions by the United States
- List of foreign electoral interventions"

Boosting ICE funding is bipartisan. This column chart shows ICE funding from 2016–2025. In red are Trump budgets, from 2018–2021. In blue are Biden budgets, from 2022–2025. ICE funding went from $6.8 billion in 2017 to $8.4 billion in 2021, to $10 billion in 2025. The 2025 budget passed after Biden left office but largely continued 2024 funding. ICE spending rose by less than $50 million. Data: CRS, Public Law 119–4.

"All major transformations, whether political, institutional, or social, over the past two centuries have been achieved with a reduction in inequalities and a form of movement toward equality.
Climate change, the great challenge of the century, will not escape this rule for a simple reason: as soon as you make major transformations, you have consequences on the distribution of efforts. And the only way to achieve these transformations is to do so in a fair manner."

7 out of 9 planetary boundaries breached. Not great!

From the first page of the Executive Summary of the report linked in the quoted post:

The Planetary Health Check (PHC) report provides an assessment of the state of our planet. It is based on the Planetary Boundaries (PBs) – the nine processes that are known to regulate the stability, resilience (ability to absorb disruptions) and life-support functions of our planet. Each of these processes, such as Climate Change or Ocean Acidification, is currently quantified by one or two control variables. The 2025 PHC report concludes that seven out of nine Planetary Boundaries have been breached, with all of those seven showing trends of increasing pressure – suggesting further deterioration and destabilization of planetary health in the near future (Fig. ES 1).

FIGURE ES 1 - Planetary Health at a glance. Just as a blood test provides insights into a human body's health and identifies areas of concern, this Planetary Health Check evaluates the 13 measured control variables across the 9 Planetary Boundary (PB) processes to report on Earth’s stability, resilience, and life-support functions – the overall health of our planet. The 2025 assessment shows that seven of the nine PBs have been breached: Climate Change, Change in Biosphere Integrity, Land System Change, Freshwater Change, Modification of Biogeochemical Flows, Introduction of Novel Entities, and Ocean Acidification. All of these show increasing trends, suggesting further deterioration in the near future. Two PB processes remain within the Safe Operating Space: Increase in Atmospheric Aerosol Loading (improving global trend) and Stratospheric Ozone Depletion (currently stable).

A graph from the Pew Research Center titled "On average, Congress has become more conservative over the past five decades". It plots the average ideology of members of congress, in both the House and the Senate, based on their DW-NOMINATE scores. It shows an overall steady movement toward being more conservative from the 1970s to 2022, with the Senate generally being more conservative than the House.
