As Colombia's Petro heads to the White House to meet with Trump on Tuesday, Feb. 3, I wrote about how the recent @progintl.bsky.social summit in Bogotá and Colombian election polls might contain signs of an ascendent global left. Full report in @thenation.com : www.thenation.com/article/worl...

...but also reduce poverty from 40 percent to 9. The objective case for transition has never been stronger. The case for avoiding transition or prolonging it through bridges and geoengineering stunts has never been weaker. But outside of @natashakimiz.bsky.social, who is talking about it?

As Keir Starmer purges the left and dances to Nigel Farage’s xenophobic tune, I look at how Labour's mounting failures created an opening for @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social @zarahsultana.bsky.social to found a new left-wing party. Check out my latest for @thenation.com

This is no different than the Republican agenda every year of my lifetime and before that, and Democrats would do well to remind the public of this instead of lionizing Reagan, Bush, Cheney, etc. Stop exceptionalizing Trump/MAGA. This is a longstanding Republican project.
