A clueless, running-on-empty caricature of provincial conservatism and clearly a stupid attempt to signal to the base that something is being done on the economic policy front when in fact nothing is being done.
Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.

The continuing rapid descent of Germany into fascism (again), with its enthusiastic support for genocide (again), its violent repression of human rights defenders (again), and its embrace of officialized racism (again), should be an alarm bell to German citizens and the international community alike. Germany has not learned from history. The rest of us must.
Germany's domestic intelligence service has revealed its fascist character by criminalizing legitimate Palestinian activism through its designation of Handala, the iconic symbol of Palestinian resilience, and the watermelon representing historic Palestine as "secular Palestinian extremism."
This isn't counter-terrorism as they tell us, it is the state using its security apparatus to delegitimize Palestinian identity and crush dissent. By equating symbols of resistance with extremism, the BfV reveals itself as an instrument of authoritarian control, criminalizing political expression to align with Israel's apartheid framework.
This is the face of fascism: using state power to suppress marginalized voices and criminalize solidarity with the oppressed.

A NYT article on sexual abuse against Palestinians -accurate but barely scratching the surface- is triggering hysteria in the Israeli govt not bcs of the facts, but bcs of the audience.
Apartheid Israel fears NYT readers will finally see and no longer ignore.
Following the publication by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times of one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

From extraction to sovereignty 🌍✊
In #SantaMarta, Global South movements are defining a real transition away from fossil fuels — not as rhetoric, but as a political struggle for justice, sovereignty, and peace.

✊ En Santa Marta salimos a las calles por un futuro libre de combustibles fósiles.
Fuimos parte de la marcha junto a organizaciones, comunidades y movimientos que exigen el fin de la era fósil y una transición energética que ponga la vida en el centro.

We are in Santa Marta at the Debt and Climate Working Group's event on how the debt crisis in the Global South fuels economic dependence on fossils and vice versa, and how debt workout can become a crucial lever for unlocking a Just Energy Transition. @deudaxclima Follow along:
At the Santa Marta #JustTransition conference, the Debt & Climate WG is hosting a press conference with @CaroMejiaSilva @Mariana_Paoli @ecuarauz @DeudaxClima - calling for an economy of care, life, sufficiency and sovereignty over the vicious cycle of debt, dependency & fossils

#SantaMarta highlights that without systemic reform of global economic dependencies, rules, power and accountability, #GlobalSouth countries remain trapped in fossil fuel-debt cycles—keeping a truly #JustTransition out of reach.

The #SantaMarta conference on transitioning from fossil fuels has already named #Debt as a key obstacle to the transition.
But what are the solutions?
A #UNDebtConvention could transform the global debt system and unlock climate action!

It's actually enraging how the World Bank can suddenly change its mind about industrial policy like "Oops, for the past 45 years we systematically prevented you from using the most obvious tool for sovereign development, keeping you stuck in poverty and dependency, lol".

The release of the Epstein files feels less like transparency and more like a psychological operation. It overwhelms the most empathetic and intellectually engaged people with outrage and despair, while numbing everyone else into apathy and boredom.

U.S workers are taking home the smallest share of the economic pie since the feds started collecting the data in 1947.

A migrant worker dies many times, and has many killers: they die in their home countries, where they are structurally, violently uprooted — they then die on the clearly abusive journeys to the Middle East, and then, they finally die at their workstation at the final destination.
The NY Times published an investigation on how the Uganda and Kenyan gov'ts profit from selling labour (read girls) abroad.
The President's brother, a top army general, and a retired top police officer are all complicit.
And for Kenya, the Ruto family.

Despite its rhetoric, the #EU is undermining multilateral processes aiming to democratise & improve global economic governance. This hypocrisy was evident last week when it again opposed a @UN intergovernmental process on #debt architecture. Read our OpEd: euobserver.com/eu-and-the-wo…

The COP30 outcome gives a glimpse of progress towards a just transition, but leaves huge questions about finance provision.
Undemocratic, unaccountable financial institutions remain at the centre, with urgent need for reform.
Reflections from @FriederikeStrub 🧵 #COP30
Friederike Strub retweeted
The latest draft text from the #COP30 presidency excludes a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, the PRIMARY driver of the climate crisis. The Global North countries driving the most fossil fuel expansion are pointing the finger at anyone but themselves. @aygoswami says:
ALT Text reads: “There seems to be a big push coming from the EU and its allies to make the Arab group, India, LMDCs look like the blockers of the talks at COP30 because these countries plus their allies within G77 have not readily agreed to the roadmap in the text,” Goswami told CarbonCopy. “This is a very old playbook. We should not be surprised by it. The blame game completely snowballs, amplified by western media outlets. It is something these countries should be used to and prepared for. Yes, developing countries have objected to the roadmap, but it’s because of concerns around differentiation and means of implementation, and not because they are blockers of ambition.”

#COP30 ends 3yrs of talks to align financial flows with climate goals (Article 2.1c). But the world's💰is still going to fossil fuels. Will COP30 be the turning point?
