Catherine Woollard- Everyone has an obligation to do what they can in the face of hostile policies, be it the Danish model, the UK model, or the 1930s model; none of these is new. There was resistance before, and there will be resistance now and in the future, in all forms. #MMR2025
Being extreme is not normalised, but you get attention by sounding extreme. Now you can make a whole career out of saying extreme things and monetize it even if you don't get political power #MMR2025

This is the very beginning, almost everything remains to be done, but this international coalition of the willing to tax the super rich is a ray of hope — the embryo of a new multilateralism focused on tax, climate, and trade justice
“All workers who are beholden to their employers... face serious risks. This behaviour… extends to construction, retail, and services.”

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (#GHF) : a deadly trap.
+450 Palestinians have been killed and more than 3500 injured while trying to access food since May 27
Many Latin Americans in transit hit by new US migration policies are heading south. But the cost of the journey north has left people with few resources to return, forcing riskier travel. 3 routes from Panama to Colombia - many avoid the Darien after traumatic northbound journey.

“This is not a humanitarian failure — it is a political choice, and a deliberate assault on a people’s ability to survive, carried out with impunity.”
An expanding military offensive and aid blockade by Israeli forces has turned Gaza into a “mass grave”:
