For those of us working to expose the scandals surrounding the regeneration of the former steelworks site on the River Tees’ south bank, known as Teesworks, the last month has been eventful.

In 2020, Bernie Sanders gained millions of votes and mobilised thousands of supporters for his vision of a social-democratic America. The centrepiece of his campaign was the Green New Deal; a harkening back to the New Deal of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the ‘GND’ connected the environmental concerns of young, liberal voters with a promise of […]
Det pågår en lågintensiv jordbävning i den ekonomisk-politiska debatten. Mantrat sedan 1990-talet om att det alltid är klokt att spara i ladorna – det som på ekonomspråk kallas överskottsmålet – håller på att ifrågasättas av både politiker och ekonomer … Baserat på en gedigen bilaga av professor Lars Calmfors landar [Långtidsutredningen] i slutsatsen att ett […]
As states crack down on prison-phone price gouging and resulting government kickbacks, telecom companies and their private equity backers have new ways to game the system.
One structural source of weakness in contemporary liberal democracy is that it does not seem to be able to solve some important, even bread and butter, policy challenges. That it does not do so with the threat that global warning involves is, while highly regrettable, no mystery. It’s very difficult for democracies to take non-existing […]
This isn’t on some obscure corner of the internet. It’s on Newsmax which is watched by many MAGA Republicans and on which many GOP elected politicians appear: I just thought you’d want to know what your fellow Americans are watching. Now, go have a drink.

By the way, here’s Trump being “funny.” I’m sure the kids love this stuff.
The critique of settler space is a pressing task in the context of movements for Indigenous justice in settler-colonial societies across the world. My recently awarded PhD thesis contributes to this critique by investigating the historical production of settler space, on the premise that thinking through this project of settler spatial history may help shed light on the contradictions and contours of settler spaces today. It is available to download from the University of Sydney Library here.

People are worried about Biden’s mental acuity but this man is on the Armed Services Committee Steve Benen points out that this man has access to very important defense information. I think that’s a big mistake: Over the course of just three years, Sen. Tommy Tuberville has made quite a name for himself. The Alabama Republican is perhaps best known for launching an unprecedented, 10-month blockade, preventing confirmation of U.S. military leaders, but that’s not the right-wing senator’s only notable contribution. Tuberville has also made headlines for embracing Donald Trump’s “Big Lie,” for example, and voting against certification of the 2020 election results. He’s also disputed the racism of white nationalists and presented an unsubtle argument that “inner city” school teachers are lazy and possibly illiterate. He’s also struggled with basic details related to civics and modern American history. But let’s also not forget that Tuberville has shared a variety of curious thoughts about foreign policy in general and Russia’s attack on Ukraine in specific.
