My 5 political non-negotiables:
1. Don’t start wars
2. Don’t deny/accelerate climate change
3. No fucking genocide
4. Don’t hate/abuse immigrants
5. Trans rights are human rights
So who should I vote for? is there anybody who clears all these low bars?
My new book is officially here! UNITED STATES OF OLIGARCHY looks at what oligarchy actually is, and how we got here, and where we're going—and how wealth inequality in the US threatens both democracy and national security alike, and has led directly to the resurgence of empire.
There is no evidence in either pricing or deployment data that solar or batteries will slow anytime soon
Our Future Smart global growth model shows, the logical question is not to ask why is the transition so fast, but to ask: why on earth would it slow?

What a pleasure it is to talk to Héctor Bellerín. Great company, fascinating to listen to. Loads and loads got left out, alas, but here he is talking Arsenal, London and the making of him. Today he faces Arsenal for the first time. https://t.co/OqKXeiOkzA

immigration debate will go nowhere until we all come to terms it is deeply inhumane to have such massive differences in living standards across the globe and expect people to just accept that
I’m not a DSA supporter. I don’t think any candidate who runs within the Democratic Party will ever meaningfully take down that party once elected. But, that said, it’s an absolute hoot watching candidates slightly to the left make a mockery of the center right normie Dems.

The genocide of Jewish people called “holocaust”

“duress” password is incorrectly designed—it shouldn’t be apparent to the attacker that it was triggered and should instead open to an innocuous and data free home screen while nuking everything in the background
Entire worlds are held up by vacuous “two state solution” rhetoric, it serves no purpose other than to permit liberals to gesture to a “Peace” Process while supporting genocide and apartheid in practice. Also s/o to that staged Netanyahu rebuke via Dana Bash, served its purpose
