Across the US, lawmakers and interest groups are stepping up efforts to shield Israel from accountability for war crimes, occupation, and apartheid.
They are doing so by restricting Palestine solidarity advocates’ First Amendment rights to free speech and political boycotts.
In June 2022, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to uphold an Arkansas law punishing state contractors who boycott Israel.
Since 2014, dozens of states have adopted similar laws designed to puni…

Governance and Technological Challenge in Digital Solidarity Economies: A Case Study of a Collaborative Transportation Platform in South Korea
South Korea's City P illustrates how lofty goals of digital solidarity can falter when challenged by local governance realities. Drawing on Hansmann's ownership theory, collaborative governance concepts, and platform cooperativism, we conducted a qualitative case study involving policy documents, independent assessments, and 11 in-depth interviews with residents, officials, and technology developers. Findings reveal a marked disconnect between the initiative's stated emphasis on community co-ow…

Miscalculating America - The Geopolitical Economist - Medium
I was just talking with someone about the major flaw I see in the Putin plan to destabilize the U.S. for Russia’s benefit. It is a deep misread of who the American people are. One of our big traits…

Testing Viability of Benchmark Dark Matter Models for the Galactic Center Excess
We examine the status of benchmark simplified dark matter models that have been proposed to explain the GeV gamma-ray Galactic Center excess. We constrain the available parameter space using updated observations from indirect detection, cosmology, direct detection, and accelerators. We show that there is still unconstrained parameter space in both classes of models we consider (a secluded dark sector with a vector portal coupling, and a two-Higgs doublet with a pseudoscalar mediator), and discu…

I’m not your go-to for deep economic theory. I'm just your regular Fediverse baby anarchist, who has a huge crush on Rudolf Rocker's syndicalist takes!
But what I do know is that I don’t need bosses or rulers telling me how to live my life. We’re all capable of working together, making decisions as equals, and building something better without anyone lording over us.
I believe in solidarity and collective action. We deserve workplaces and communities where everyone has a …

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said he was "flirting with Neil Kinnock's demand for a wealth tax" after the former Labour leader called for one on Sky News.
Sir Keir Starmer dodged the question by saying his government has stabilised the economy, but was asked again by Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay if he would stand by his promise that "those with the broadest shoulders should carry the largest burden".
The Prime Minister simply said: "We can…

Starmer refuses to rule out wealth tax

Wie diesen ganzen alten weissen arschlöcher die gegen ihren eigenen bedeutungsverlust ankämpfen jetzt gegen das zfp (die omas gegen rechts die da auch fleißig mit schildern vertreten waren werden geflissentlich ignoriert) stimmung machen und zum teil verschwörerisch so tun als ob die geheiminfos gehabt hätten wann das interview denn war... Ja woher wussten sie es denn?
