Former British ambassador Craig Murray: In both the UK and the US there can be no more stark illustration of the lack of any kind of meaningful democracy, than the fact that there is no major political party that opposes the genocide [in Gaza] – despite massive public…

No, the British Empire did not spontaneously "end slavery". Credit for that goes to several generations of slave revolts—including the successful Haitian Revolution of 1804—and sustained pressure from radical social movements pushing for abolition.

People often ask how @figma prioritizes its roadmap. It’s a hard question, which I’ll try to tackle over time in small bites. This first thread is about user input 1/n

Economies in the global North depend utterly on labour, resources and production in the South. If Southern governments cooperated under a renewed Non-Aligned Movement they could leverage this to force radical action on climate justice.

Can't get it out of my head that Europe cried about a 'migrant crisis' in 2015 against 1.4m refugees fleeing war in Syria and yet quickly absorbed some 2m Ukrainians within days, complete with flags and piano music. Europe never had a migrant crisis. It has a racism crisis.

English tea. Italian coffee. Belgian chocolate. American iPhones. None of these statements are true. All of these products are produced overwhelmingly in the global South, with Southern resources, Southern land and Southern labour.

Colonial and racist logics expressed by news reporters, commentators, and analysts. 1. 'Now the unthinkable has happened to them, and this is not a developing, third world nation, this is Europe.' 2. “Europeans with blond hair and blue eyes are being killed..”

But people with 'blue eyes and blonde hair' dropping bombs over the Middle East and Africa is OK. And 'Blue eyes and blonde hair' is Hitler's words from the Mein Kampf about the superior Aryan race.

If you consider yourself a ‘visionary’ and your vision doesn’t include the well-being of every single person you affect, you’re not a visionary, you’re a colonizer.

After 17 years, we finally “cracked” a $100M churn problem at PayPal. Zero fancy tech. Just a spreadsheet, some simple SQL, and a physicist named Ben. 👇🏼

I hate when people use my story - from growing up next to an Idaho dump to millionaire CEO - as proof of the American dream. No. For every one one of me there are thousands of people who worked harder and failed. Stories like mine are dangerous because they sell a false dream.

So many folks (esp. the media) are missing the complete backstory on $GME and how we got here. This has been simmering for over a year and the story behind it is great. I’ve been tracking this since September and devoured all of the details from the origin through today.

This is unacceptable. We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit. As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary.
