El topall al preu del lloguer ha abaratit els nous contractes a Catalunya, però també ha canviat el mercat. Què ha passat amb els preus, l’oferta i els contractes de temporada dos anys després? @SimoneCigna (UPF) ens en fa #5cèntims

@alissa_pavia Ti ho fatto notare degli elementi mancanti nella tua analisi. Elementi che mi sembra doveroso ricordare mentre si sta consumando un genocidio. L'analisi quando è faziosa, diventa propaganda. E non c'è bisogno che usi l'argomento del mansplaining quando vai in difficolt�� :)

@GualbertoGianni Vergognati, davvero

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

European politicians are "surprised" by the rise of fascist parties after spending the past eight months backing a genocide underpinned by ideologies of racial hierarchy, while trashing universalism, human rights, international law. If you normalize fascism you will get fascism.

[Simone Cigna @SimoneCigna]

I am ashamed to be part of an institution that keeps its ties with Israeli institutions, actively financing the ongoing genocide and illegal occupation in Palestine! Shame on you @UPFBarcelona

Read the letter from 12 Republican senators threatening ICC chief prosecutor @KarimKhanQC with "severe" consequences for him, his family & staff if he goes ahead with an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. "You have been warned."

Hey #EconTwitter can we please get mad and radicalised about @PrincetonEcon PhD student Hassan Sayed being expelled for his support of Palestine and @EmoryEconomics prof Caroline Fohlin being brutalised by state police amongst Gaza Solidarity protesters?

Such a pleasure to listen and chat with @gabriel_zucman. A truly inspiring researcher with a genuine mission to improve our societies beyond efficiency-only considerations.
Thanks to @econ_empresaUPF for this opportunity 😍

Remarkable UN Resolution pushed by developing countries. The West keeps closing on itself, not realizing it's now a minority.

someone asks Chomsky about the "Hamas charter" and whether he is horrified by it and it proves they and Palestinians are to blame for not having peace. He responds: Actually the charter is irrelevant and Israel is to blame for everything

[Ione Belarra @ionebelarra]

We are witnessing a live genocide by the State of Israel in Palestine, and I don't want to be an accomplice. Today it's Palestine, tomorrow it could be anyone.

That's why I ask you to support by signing the initiative https://t.co/kS9KJ3mXNq

[Ione Belarra @ionebelarra]

Are you going to stop being complicit with a genocidal state like Israel? That is the question you must answer.

[Simone Cigna @SimoneCigna]

A group of PhD students at @UPFBarcelona are asking the institution to take a stance to condemn the genocide by the Israeli government in Gaza. Time to ask public institutions to urge a ceasefire.

Ons Jabeur says she’s donating a portion of her prize money to Palestine:

“I am very happy with the win but I haven't been very happy lately. The situation in the world doesn't make me happy... I feel like… I am sorry. It’s very tough seeing children & babies dying every day. It’s heartbreaking. I have decided to donate part of my prize money to help the Palestinians. I can't be happy with this win. It is not a political message, it is humanity. I want peace in this world. That’s it.” ❤️

[Ione Belarra @ionebelarra]

We ask our partner that, as the Government of Spain, we bring Netanyahu before the International Criminal Court for war crimes. Here is my official statement 👇
