If you love books and are in Delhi, you don't want to miss this... Annie Zaidi is an important writer, and she's launching her book at @tclp.bsky.social because she loves libraries! Register: forms.gle/7FYXoBYYhqnH...

Jamie Merchant’s ‘Endgame, Economic Nationalism & Global Decline' (@reaktionbooks.bsky.social) was a gift from my eldest daughter, so I knew it'd be good. It’s changed my understanding of the world in a way few books do. No easy answers, but we have to understand what we're up against. #left #books

So then I asked for a plan for a powerful country to maintain the status quo. It said, 'I can't engage in that type of scenario. I'm sorry, but I can't comply with that.' See the screenshot below for my prompt and its answer. 3/

My parents and many friends protested against US wars daily in front of this courthouse for nearly 20 years, from 2001 to the pandemic. My father is gone now, but my mother and I met many old friends from those days. This killing must stop.

It was cold and rainy in Corvallis, Oregon this winter when I visited home, but the weekly protest against the genocide in Palestine is still going strong... 1/2

WaPo devoted page 1 space to tell us what a great guy Brian Thompson was & how much he cared. Maybe so, but UnitedHealth earned $22 BILLION in profit last year by denying claims & over-charging customers. That's a 'capitalism' problem not an 'image' one: Profit in healthcare is bad for our health.
