After over 8 years, I'm finishing my term as editor-in-chief of Geopolitics. We're hiring two co-editors-in-chief to replace me. Please share widely and get in touch if you are interested
Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’
Thanks to @jacobinmag.bsky.social for publishing an extract from my new book, The Story of Capital: What Everyone Should Know About How Capital Works, published by @versobooks.bsky.social today, February 24.

1. La vivienda en alquiler se ha convertido en un gran negocio. Los rentistas controlan la economía y la política, pero destrozan la sociedad.
Hay alternativas. La generación inquilina puede acabar con esta desigualdad y cambiar el modelo para siempre.
A partir del 9 de marzo🙌🧵
Un nuevo estudio confirma lo que muchos ya sospechábamos: menos de dos meses de exposición al algoritmo de X/Twitter altera significativamente las opiniones políticas de las personas, inclinándolas hacia la derecha.

“Poly-crisis” is everywhere, often framed as a call to restore nation-state primacy. But are states the only or even the best entities to respond? We argue that cities are where crises are lived and often most directly handled. With @rkeil.bsky.social, Ross Beveridge, Ewan Kerr and Maryam Lashkari.
FYI, Academia.edu has changed its terms of service to give an irrevocable worldwide license for anything uploaded to its site to be used for generative AI. I do not consent to this and have pulled all my papers.

Since declaring war in the Caribbean Sea & Pacific Ocean, US has killed at least 145 people in lethal strikes on boats.
These never-ending & interchangeable wars (war on drugs, war on terror, and war on migrants) by US Southern Command no longer even have to specify what org they are targeting!
American culture from 1776 on was Black, was Indigenous, was Spanish, was Jewish, was Quaker, was a whole lot of different things which then often got together and made splendidly non-European things, and most of our music has an African mother.
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Andalucía, como colonia interior, sigue siendo 'la que divierte'. Ejemplo de ello es la celebración del evento 'Madrilucía'
Escribo sobre ello👇👇

We're recruiting 2 PhD candidates in human geography here in Uppsala, one position focused on urban/housing issues and one in political ecology.
Please spread the word/repost etc. Being a PhD student in Sweden is a good gig.
"Hopelessness isn’t natural. It needs to be produced. If we really want to understand this situation, we have to begin by understanding that for decades we have seen the construction of a vast bureaucratic apparatus for the creation and maintenance of hopelessness, a kind of giant machine that is designed, first and foremost, to destroy any sense of possible alternative futures." . - David Graeber
They want you to feel hopeless and believe that nothing can improve.
The people of Minneapolis including dozens of faith leaders are out in -20°C today & hundreds of businesses are closing their doors to tell ICE to "get the f--- out of our city"
Send some ♥️ to these amazing and inspiring Minnesotans who will not succumb to this violent occupation of their community
It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.
Hace 10 años había un amplio consenso en la izquierda contra los tratados de libre comercio. Se generaban redes, discurso, política y las manifestaciones contra el TTIP o CETA eran gigantescas.
Hoy hay gente de izquierdas que defiende el UE-Mercosur sin ponerlo en la más mínima duda. Es desolador.
Escribo sobre (otra) ley inútil de la Junta de Andalucía 👇🏼
Great funding opportunity from the Urban Studies Foundation!
De acuerdo y, propongo algo mejor: inversión de fondos europeos para desarrollar una red social 100% pública

El #MapaFosasRTVE es el primer mapa audiovisual con las 6.000 fosas comunes de la guerra civil y el Franquismo.
Los restos de más de 17.000 víctimas se han podido recuperar, pero otras 12.000 personas podrían ser aún exhumadas.

¿Debería ser ilegal tener más de 2 viviendas? 🏠🚫
La mitad de la población cree que sí, que hay que poner un tope.
¿Limitar cuántas viviendas puede acumular una persona podría ser la forma de frenar la especulación y acabar con la crisis de vivienda?
Estaría guay que los responsables de la simplificación administrativa también lo fueran de sus consecuencias directas

Israel bombed a hospital.
Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.
Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.
Read that again.
Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.
5 out of 6 Palestinians killed in Gaza have been civilians.
The Israeli military's own data shows that out of the 53,000 people they have killed, 44,100 have been civilians.
🚨SHOCKING: The Israeli military’s own data shows that 83% of people killed in Gaza have been civilians.
And now a UN-backed body has confirmed the famine is entirely man-made.
Governments must stop arming Israel and back an immediate ceasefire.
