To the immiserated proles of the Epstein Empire, this doesn't even look real. In the United States, "advanced" technology is a bumbling Waymo that won't get out of the way, or the Unit 8200 app that scans your face at the airport.

China’s solar power plant in Dunhuang uses around 12,000 mirrors to focus sunlight onto a central tower, heating molten salt to extreme temperatures. That heat is stored and used to generate electricity on demand, including after sunset.

@CollinRugg @KevinMNelsonUSA @ScooterCasterNY Yeah, listening to the concerns of a besieged community---much less the concerns of citizens---totally pathetic for a politician! Why isn't he pedosplaining like he should be?

NEW: Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna gets totally bossed around by a Minneapolis man who calls him a pimp before saying things are "going to get worse."
"F*ck these cameras... There's two ways we gonna play this game, pimp," the man said in footage shared by @ScooterCasterNY.
"When you go back to Capitol Hill, tell 'em I said it. If they bring their a**es here, f*ckin with us. It's gonna get worse."

@ggreenwald While they are low-hanging fruit because of their privilege, they might be taken to illustrate a more political-economic story---like the collapse of tourism---if read together with the other relevant NYT piece from today:

One of the most cringe-worthy acts of narcissism and self-victimhood imaginable.
Three wealthy and privileged Yale professors -- Jason Stanley, Tim Snyder and and his wife Marcy Shore -- make a video for the NYT on why they fled the US (to Canada): fear of Trump's persecution:

@DanielDenvir Excellent. And an important corollary question: what cultural changes are needed to foster the broad and deep organizing needed for such a reorganization?
English
How to find the right candidates who can resonate with people and win is an important question for the left. A more important question, though, is how we’re going to reorganize society on a mass basis from workplaces to neighborhoods so that a new common sense emerges from below.

🚨BREAKING: Palestinian-American Child Shot Dead, Two Others Shot and Wounded by Israeli Forces in Occupied West Bank
Omar Mohammad Rabea, a 14-year-old Palestinian with U.S. citizenship, was shot and killed on Sunday by Israeli forces near the West Bank town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah. Two other Palestinian-American boys, aged 14 and 15, were also shot and wounded—one in the abdomen, the other in the thigh. Both were taken to a nearby clinic in the village of Abu Falah, PRCS told reporters.
The Israeli military acknowledged that its forces opened fire on three children who were standing near a road adjacent to the town. A video released by the military shows the teenagers appearing to throw an object. In a statement, the military claimed it had “identified three terrorists who were throwing rocks at a highway with civilian vehicles,” and that Israeli “fighters fired at the terrorists, killing one and wounding the other two.”
The military reportedly seized Omar’s body from the hospital and is still withholding it. WAFA also reports that Israeli forces delayed ambulance crews from reaching the scene.
The killing comes amid a sharp rise in settler and military violence across the West Bank. While the Biden administration had previously sanctioned a handful of violent settlers, those sanctions were rescinded by the Trump administration, which also recently approved the sale of over 20,000 U.S.-made assault rifles to Israel—a $24 million deal previously delayed over concerns the weapons could be used by extremist settlers.
The shooting took place a day after Palestinian Children’s Day. Ramallah and al-Bireh Governor Laila Ghannam said the targeting of the three children reflects an ongoing pattern and policy of Israeli state terror—killing Palestinian children and attempting to eradicate the Palestinian people. More than 200 children have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023. And in Gaza, Israel has killed more than 500 children in 20 days since resuming its genocidal assault on March 18, 2025.

@fshakir @BernieSanders Not exactly what you are looking for but bring the tour with AOC to Columbia and invite Mamdani. Make the connection between higher ed, the Palestinian exception and working class students making a better life for their families at prestige institutions.
English
If people have ideas of how @BernieSanders can be helpful in building a real working class movement in this country, I welcome your ideas. Email me at Faiz at berniesanders.com
Could be things like current unionization fights, downticket races to get involved in, state legislative battles, ballot measures, etc etc
No bad ideas in a brainstorm! I welcome whatever you got. Note: I will not be able to respond to everyone but I will read them

I’m prepping a Dig interview w Wendy Brown and @zeithistoriker on emergent features of the ascendent American right in all its clown-car cornucopia variety, full of momentum but also riven by powerful contradictions as it seizes the heights of state power. What should we discuss?

This video has now been removed for “violating X rules,” after 500,000+ views. Apparently the ruling class really doesn’t want you to see it.
We’ll keep posting it until they stop doing it.

Israeli NGOs warn international community it will be complicit if Israel forcibly transfers the population of Northern Gaza
Human rights NGOs based in Israel today called on the international community to take action now to prevent Israel from forcibly transferring hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who have remained in the Northern Gaza Strip outside of the area, including by denying entry of essential humanitarian aid and fuel. The Israeli ceasefire coalition, the groups Gisha, B’Tselem, PHR-I and Yesh Din, said that there are alarming signs that the Israeli military is beginning to quietly implement the Generals’ Plan, also referred to as the Eiland Plan, which calls for complete forcible transfer of the civilians of the northern Gaza Strip through tightening the siege on the area and starving the population.
The NGOs reiterated the warning that states have an obligation to prevent the crimes of starvation and forcible transfer, and that if the continuation of the “wait and see” approach will enable Israel to liquidate northern Gaza, they will be complicit. All states and relevant international institutions should act now and use all tools at their disposal - legal, diplomatic and economic - to prevent this.
