As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

For my latest for @rollingstone.com , I take a deep dive into every dirty gift Trump's massive tax-and-spending bill gives the fossil fuel industry, and takes from everyone else. Spoiler: it's worse than you think. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My latest in the Guardian where I argue that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social position on Palestine was not a liability, but that the Palestine movement and its organizers are why he won. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Democratic socialist’s victory in the New York City primary elections shows support for Palestine is not a liability

The profound misrepresentation of Zohran’s positions (on police, Israel) and the viability/scale of his policy platform (modest tax increases for small-scale pilot programs) by Democrats and the media are what you would expect from bad faith opponents, which makes me think that's who they are.

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change?
Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

Looking for literature that focuses on the role of geopolitics as a driver of climate change adaptation projects in the Global South. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
