@EricMM76 @bcmerchant @mattyglesias @AOC Trickle down theory explained (https://t.co/cf8Le7BjtP)

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

This piece is one of the best I have read on the full-on dead-eyed embrace of genocide in Israel. It's by a scholar of military indoctrination in Nazi Germany and former IDF soldier. It's essential reading. This is what our governments are supporting.

@PeterSweden7 Socialist? Britain doesn't have anything like a Socialist government. They purged the Left. And there's nothing Communist about it. Totalitarian, maybe so, getting there.

[Prem Rose @premasagar]

@Keir_Starmer A rise in antisemitism? Sounds shocking... until you see they're counting anti-Zionist sentiment, which is understandably on the rise.
Saying "Free Palestine", "Zionism is racist" or "Israel is killing babies" is not AS.
Hating Israel's genocide ≠ hating Jews for being Jewish.

[Prem Rose @premasagar]

I am so utterly disgustedly sick of Israel. It has not a shred of moral force.

The idea of a safe haven from persecution, in memory of the Holocaust – has been thoroughly defiled and gang-raped by its murderous leaders. There is no going back.
Palestine must be free.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

"Bodies have arrived in pieces... there is no way to identify these bodies whatsoever."

Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud reports on the Israeli attack on al-Tabin school in Gaza City.

@Harryslaststand There is also a small racist far-right enclave in Portugal. They are triggered by skin colour, so non-integrating anti-social English people isn't their concern.

[Prem Rose @premasagar]

@Harryslaststand This is true. The English in parts of Iberia have a reputation for being rude, obnoxious, drunk and disrespectful of local culture and language. And yet the Portuguese are ever gracious and welcoming.

[Prem Rose @premasagar]

Rather, people have had enough of the parasitic Tories, and have no other hope. A socialist government was narrowly avoided, and Starmer will do what he can to ensure it won't get close again. And for that he is rewarded, by media attention, support, and so election victory.

[Prem Rose @premasagar]

It's hilarious listening to the skewed narrative being propagated that Starmer reinvigorated a moribund out-of-control party, dealt with "the antisemitism crisis", and has been rewarded for doing so by being voted into office.

@danallison Used in schools and companies in the Netherlands, and village-level to state-level planning in India, (neighbourocracy).

[Prem Rose @premasagar]

@danallison Have you looked at the model of sociocracy? Small circles with closely shared interests make decisions by unanimous, individual consent. Each circle can select two people to represent them in a higher level circle. It allows decision-making across a web of interests.

As the ICJ case is today brought by South Africa against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, it feels kinda personally and politically relevant to the small part of Ireland I grew up in.

@nickfloats Something like NFTs might come in useful here. Though adding technology after technology starts to feel a bit sickening. Can't we just go back to sloshing paint on to canvas again?

Dig the New Renaissance.

[Prem Rose @premasagar]

@nickfloats The role of the artist is to help it evolve, to push and nudge it, to re-imagine what we have already seen and present something new.

What would it take for artists and technologists to work in collaboration? Artist/tech cooperatives that distribute royalties and residencies?

@EdConwaySky The colossal insanity of purifying trillions of litres of water until it it drinkable, and then using it to flush poos into a huge network of pipes that spills into rivers, causing illness and polluting ecosystems. Isn't everything backwards to how it should be?

@EdConwaySky Bring back the shit economy. In many rural, off-grid communities (like here in Portugal), people have to deal with their own waste. You soon discover that humanure is precious. If only we could produce more.
