“elections can be deeply defective if they occur without the different sides getting an adequate opportunity to present their respective cases, or without the electorate enjoying the freedom to obtain news and to consider the views of the competing protagonists.” Amartya Sen.
Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Come along! I will be speaking this Tuesday about why and how we should put the idea of capability at the heart of social policy.

Many people in Europe’s climate circles are worried about the “backlash” against sustainability. @BertrandBadre and Stéphane Voisin think that they are overlooking the less visible, but arguably more significant, problem of data extraterritoriality. bit.ly/4xs493S

Did you know that many people working in supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda still qualify for Universal Credit because their wages aren’t high enough to cover the cost of living? That’s not a welfare problem. That’s a low-pay economy. Taxpayers end up subsidising low wages while working people are told to work harder. Britain doesn’t have a benefits culture problem. It has a wage problem.

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

هناك ملوك عاشوا حياتهم وهم يحكمون نصف أوروبا تقريبًا، ثم نسيهم التاريخ وهناك ملك إنجليزي خسر معركة واحدة قبل أكثر من سبعمئة عام وما زال الاسكتلنديون يذكرونه بالاسم قبل كل مباراة كرة قدم يتبع..

Wait, is this for real? Trump spent $60 million of our taxpayer funds to host a UFC fight and then is selling UFC coin to line his family’s pockets. The Trump corruption swamp is a mile deep. cnn.com/2026/06/09/politics/…

They are going for each other’s throats.
EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

About bloody time. We only live in a democracy if the rules apply equally to everyone.
UK has seized a shadow tanker this morning. SMYRTOS, 9389100, has an almost certainly false flag from Cameroon, Chinese owners and Indian managment. Last port Ust Luga, Russia - hence laden with oil.

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology. China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

I feel sick. In 2026 people's houses are being set on fire due to their colour of skin. When a minority commits a crime every ethnic minority has to now brace themselves for revenge. We need to mobilise against politicians who seek to turn communities against one another.

Politicians loved the language of ‘missions’ while ignoring the institutional transformation they actually require. You cannot have a mission-oriented economy if the economic relationships underlying it are still parasitic and structured around the old assumptions. My new book, The Common Good Economy, is an attempt to complete that work, not just what governments do, but how everyone in the economy relates to one another in doing it.

Every time I suggest equality under the law as the right principle for Israel-Palestine, many of my fellow Jews tell me it's dangerously unrealistic, that I don't understand the region etc. It's exactly what I heard from white South Africans as a kid. But I rarely heard a Black South African during apartheid say that legal equality was unrealistic, or would produce more violence, just as I rarely hear that from Palestinians today.
I believe states should treat people equally under the law, irrespective of ethnicity, religion or race. I support that principle in the US, India, Iran, Israel-Palestine, everywhere. I believe such states tend to be safer for everyone because when people have equal representation in government they're less likely to take up arms. @mdubowitz disagrees. I'd welcome discussing this with him. I'm sure I'd learn something. And if my views are as odious and nonsensical as he suggests, he should want to expose them as such for as wide an audience as possible.

My new book, The Common Good Economy, is trying to provoke economists to rethink their own understanding of ‘good’. For too long economics has treated ‘good’ as a correction, public goods filling the gaps the private sector leaves behind. The book argues for something different: ‘good’ as an objective we design and work on together, with a compass to hold everyone accountable along the way.
