Sounds like a lot of these projects are ideas for doing something that’s greener but more expensive than Chinese imports, then trying to shape the regulatory environment to favor your product. That’s backwards from the way real innovation works.

It’s often possible to de-anonymize health records but if they vet the researchers I think it’s ok. I certainly would participate if it’s helpful, but I wouldn’t want my data to be used for marketing or to discriminate against anybody.

“No war for Republicans” is catchy for me, but I realize I’m not the target audience. (People forget that these right-wing authoritarians are invested in a political project with the US right and seek to undermine Democrats when they are in power.)

Countries that want to defend international law should sanction everyone in the chain of command, but principle is in short supply these days.

Much of Kissinger’s writing goes over my head because I don’t have the historical background. I judge him by his decisions and the people who venerate him both of which are terrible. The best I can say is I agree balances of power are important and imposing our values on others is usually fruitless.

The Rise of France Insoumise
France, like many other European countries, has seen a historic decline of the old workers’ parties. Yet the rise of France Insoumise has ensured the renewal of a dynamic left rooted in popular mobili...

I wouldn’t discount the possibility that the military may step in, again, and hand power back to the National Party, again.

I’m aware of at least two polls suggesting every 2024 third party candidate drew more from Trump than Harris. Like Trump voters and non-voters, some of them certainly have regrets, but singling them out seems like scapegoating. fairvote.org/most-2024-th...

It’s not about drugs. It’s not even about immigration. It’s about elevating right wing authoritarianism and reasserting US control of Latin America.

Except that they’ve been asking for information since summer and the Trump administration hasn’t complied.

Remember back in May Trump let 17 of their family members come to the US in protective custody? Trump has a weird soft spot for drug kingpins.

Hernandez was known for doing whatever the US wanted as long as they looked the other way on his drug trafficking business. They get him back if Asfura wins (seen as beholden to Hernandez). Many are predicting violence and possibly another coup now that Trump has put his thumb on the scale.

Unless people don’t want to live there anymore, which is not the case for London, the answer is always build more housing.

Someone has to make the first move toward peace and that must be the colonial powers. If they actually help build Palestine the Palestinian people will support it. It doesn’t make up for past atrocities but it would signal that the attempt to erase the Palestinian people is over.

What does this mean? You just voted to condemn socialism. Socialism is Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Socialism is government coming down on the side of unions and making the 1% share their wealth with those who built it for them. Socialism is standing up for regular people everywhere.

It’s absolutely essential to raise revenue to deliver for the people and show that government can work. Anyone who says otherwise need only look where the country is now: crumbling public services and an angry and rising far-right.
