The administration’s crackdown on the Palestine movement goes hand in hand with the endless flow of US weapons and funding to the Israeli government.

The horrific anti-Palestinian violence we saw in Brooklyn this weekend — a pro-Israeli government mob beating, chasing, and harassing anti-genocide activists, all while the NYPD was largely absent — is the inevitable result of this type of policy which criminalizes support of Palestinian freedom.

Ann Pettifor is chairing a talk on our Youtube channel between Yanis Varoufakis and Michael Hudson. It can be viewed live at 5pm London time, or of course at anytime after the talk! Here is the link: www.youtube.com/live/JmAeVwC...
"Think of global trade as a single giant balloon with the 
air therein made up of countries with surpluses & deficits. 
Squeeze a deficit in one part of the ‘balloon’ and the 
balloon expands elsewhere. Squeeze a Chinese surplus 
in one part of the system, the United States, and the 
balloon blows up when China’s surplus is dumped on, 
say, the European Union. Too much squeezing of both 
deficits and surpluses will puncture the balloon and 
cause it to spiral out of control."

This is a quote from a talk Yanis Varoufakis gave the David Graeber Institute. You can view the full talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmAe...
"We think that we produce value privately—that 
we create value as private actors, and then the 
state comes and collectivizes it through taxation.

In reality, we produce produced collectively, 
through shared infrastructure, knowledge, labor, 
and social cooperation—and then those in 
power (whether market power or state 
bureaucratic power) come in and privatize 
it. So if we use the state, it should be to 
diffuse power in order to make sure that 
the value we collectively produce is 
enjoyed collectively."

Yesterday's global sea-surface temperature of 21.05°C was about 4.62 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean (first 30 years of data), or about 1-in-520,000 just by chance. I expect temperatures to reach their seasonal peak in roughly 2 weeks.
