Fossil fuels kill 350k Americans yearly

I’ve gained a lot of new followers since I recorded this video a few weeks ago, the last time I was able to enter Kfarkela before it became an active war zone so I’m sharing it again so people can understand the breadth of the destruction of the southern villages in Lebanon. This is what ethnic cleansing looks like.

Kfarkela and Markaba, occupied south Lebanon. The Israelis destroyed most of this after the ceasefire was implemented

El teórico político John Dunn sostiene que la legitimidad de la democracia “se ve cada vez más comprometida por las drásticas desigualdades en las oportunidades de vida que se reproducen a través de los sistemas de propiedad que protege”.

Mark Fisher: "Instead of treating it as incumbent on individuals to resolve their own psychological distress, instead, that is, of accepting the vast *privatization of stress* that has taken place over the last thirty years, we need to ask: how has it become acceptable that so 1/

@besttrousers If this theory is true, wouldn't consumer sentiment be consistently worse over time in states with lower levels of unemployment and/or (possibly) higher minimum wages...

If you ever wonder whether we have a utilization problem or price problem in US healthcare

This chart should help

Here are four procedures by rates and prices, in the US, Australia, Switzerland and Germany

We don't use more healthcare

We just pay much higher prices

New short paper w @j_kalla!

Candidates gain from moderation, but less than many theories expect.

Many conclude voters must not care about issues.

This is wrong. Small *average* effects mask large effects on specific issues & are consistent with widespread issue-based voting 🧵

North American bird populations are not only declining, but they’re also shrinking faster with each passing year—particularly in regions shaped by intensive agriculture, according to a new study in Science. https://t.co/Csaq2Sa0gM

In just the last 20 years, beef production destroyed global forests the size of California, mostly in the tropics

Through tree loss alone (not including methane or feed crop production), this caused 3x the annual CO2 emissions of the US

The idea that Europe should follow the US when it comes to productivity and competitiveness is not supported by the data. The Draghi Report is bad policy advice.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017-25 and the number of US billionaires jumped 50% to more than 900. Overall, the top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the GDP of the US and China combined. @ktbenner https://t.co/JzcSgD7SGB

This new QJE paper concludes that the macroeconomic costs of climate change are far greater than earlier estimates suggested. It finds that a 1°C rise in global temperatures reduces world GDP by over 20%.

🚨 URGENTE: aprovação de Petro dispara na Colômbia após aumento de 24% no salário mínimo e redução de 20 MIL REAIS no salário dos parlamentares!

- Aprovação 49% (+11)
- Rejeição 46% (-11)

Além disso, ele reduziu a jornada de trabalho de 48 para 42 horas semanais, aumentou o adicional noturno em 35%, as horas extras de 75% para 100%, criou uma licença menstrual para mulheres (1 folga no período menstrual), taxou os super-ricos e cortou as isenções fiscais.

E adivinha? Tudo isso sem ter maioria de esquerda no Congresso.

Os empresários e os parlamentares estão putos, o aumento salarial chegou a ser barrado na justiça, mas ele apostou na MOBILIZAÇÃO POPULAR, convocou o povo pra rua e foi pra cima, garantindo os decretos!

Viva a luta de classes!

If you suspect Democrats' silence on Iran isn't an accident, you are correct. A foreign policy aide to Chuck Schumer privately explained last year that many Democrats *want* a US war with Iran, but don't want the ensuing political fallout - so they prefer letting Trump do it:
