🔍 From the US exorbitant privilege to a rich world privilege.

Read the paper below & the 🧵 by my amazing co-author here: https://t.co/JogdmCDArs
Each year poor countries send 2⃣ - 3⃣% of their GDP to the rich world while they could be investing that amount in education, health or climate policies, found @gatonievas & @AliceSodano.
❗️It's time to overthrow this rich world privilege

On vit quand même une époque de fou.
@Grok affirme qu’Israël commet un génocide à Gaza.
𝕏 suspend le compte de l’IA le temps de « l’aligner sur les politiques de la plateforme », puis le réactive.
L’IA révèle la raison de sa suspension et maintient ses propos.
𝕏 supprime alors les commentaires de l’IA dans lesquels elle expliquait les raisons de sa suspension.
Vi ricordate Amir Avivi, l'estremista di destra ricevuto da @pinapic tra mille sorrisi?
Predica l'occupazione totale di Gaza su Fox News.
A che ora ti dimetti Pina?
A che ora la cacciate, @pdnetwork?
Incredibly happy to see my paper forthcoming in @QJEHarvard! I quantify how much of worldwide growth and poverty reduction can be accounted for by education over 1980-2019. A quick summary 1/9 👇
The illegal attacks on Iran by the United States are reckless beyond belief — and threaten the safety of humankind around the world.
Diplomacy was possible. Instead, a catastrophic war has been ignited by the aggression of two nuclear states, Israel and the United States.
Meanwhile, the genocide in Gaza continues unabated with the shameful military support of our own government.
The last Labour government made the mistake of following the US into a devastating war. Human beings abroad paid the price.
This Labour government needs to learn the lessons of the past, otherwise it will be remembered for the more dangerous world it has helped to create.
I echo the call made by the UN Secretary-General: “There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”

Key takeaway: power plays a key role in global imbalances.
Collective rules are needed to correct them.

Israel has destroyed the last remaining hospital in northern Gaza.
We have witnessed the total decimation of Palestinian healthcare, met with silence from political leaders who refuse to acknowledge the horrors they have enabled.
This is the dehumanising reality of genocide.
El FMI necesita reformar la política de cargos y sobrecargos si de verdad quiere ayudar a los países en desarrollo.

Four activists, including my 22yo cousin, have been sentenced to 4 YEARS for 'conspiracy to cause a public nuisance'.
This sentence, considered widely disproportionate by many experts and the UN, is the longest ever given in the UK.
Please support them 👇

Donc demain, abrogation de la réforme des retraites et Hanouna quitte le pays, c'est bien ça ? 🙃
Bravo à toutes celles et ceux qui se sont mobilisé•es. Ce soir on souffle et dès demain, on reprend la lutte ✊
Today, Palestine is on the ballot.
If you re-elect me as an Independent MP in Islington North, I promise to always stand up for the people of Gaza, and for the only path to a just and lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.
Pour un Front Démocratique. Contre l'extrême-droite.
Il nous reste une semaine pour faire la différence.
Il faut tout donner.
C'est maintenant ou jamais. 👇
The far right is rising across Europe because politicians on both sides have pandered to their rhetoric and normalised their ideas.
The only answer to hatred is hope.
We have to stand up to racism, defend refugees and inspire people to believe that a kinder world is possible.
