Here's a weird consequence of our shift from capitalism (where riches come from profits) to feudalism (where riches come from rents): increasingly, your rights to your property (physical stuff you own) are trumped by corporations' metaphorical "intellectual property" claims. 1/

Roughly 50% of all labour that is consumed in the North is net-appropriated from the South. This means that without unequal exchange, Northern economies would have to reduce their consumption by half, or double their working hours.

In this new paper we calculate the unequal exchange of labour between the global North and global South. The results are quite staggering. You'll want to look at this... 🧵 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

This man is posting addresses of other people’s properties on X, and has built a following on TikTok with over 100k followers by posting full addresses for people to squat in. None of his posts on TikTok have been removed.

A bipartisan delegation of agriculture commissioners from seven U.S. states, three Democratic and four Republican, traveled to Cuba to meet Cuban farmers and explore business opportunities. But they say their hands are tied due to U.S. sanctions, which make trade and investment extremely difficult if not impossible. @ISDADirector : “We're close neighbors and there ought to be opportunities for us to trade.”

Watch the Guyanese President Irfaan Ali school a UK TV Host as he desperately defended the royal family's palaces against reparations claims. "We're not asking for a palace, we're asking for justice...[for] the greatest injustice that has ever been done to human beings."

The NYT must have realized they simply couldn't ignore the massive amounts of Nazi imagery used by Ukraine's armed forces, so they finally attempted to address it in an absolutely ridiculous article this morning. Let's break it down. 🧵👇
