That billionaires like Elon Musk and his cronies are "driven more by vibes and grievances than due diligence" is only a revelation to those who bought into the myth that billionaires are geniuses. We urgently need to build a world without billionaires. chronikler.com/reflections/ec… twitter.com/TheAtlantic/st…

When and where was the first solar power plant built? The answer may surprise you. The first solar power plant was built over a century ago, in 1913. It was built in Maadi, then just outside Cairo, by American inventor Frank Shuman. It was used to pump irrigation water. pic.twitter.com/el2iMYS5Qo

To take back control over their bodies from the clerics, young students at Ferdowsi University in Mashhad, Iran, take off their hijabs and chant "freedom". May their efforts lead to liberty for all. #MahsaAmini #IranProtests2022 via @drninaansary pic.twitter.com/NKWIAXQHBG

The anti-hijab protests in Iran are not solely about whether or not a woman can show her hair but about her fundamental right to exercise control over her body and to make her own choices. It's about taking back control from the patriarchy. twitter.com/Sima_Sabet/sta…

In this essay, I travel back in time to show how and why Salman Rushdie is one of the most widely and wildly misunderstood of contemporary writers - and how the Satanic Verses controversy was largely political, not religious. #Islam chronikler.com/2022/09/30/the…

Threatening to sue a journalist over a tweet is a form of political lawfare designed to intimidate and silence critics. Italians wishing to preserve freedom of expression against should stand with Rula Jebreal against this intimidation. twitter.com/rulajebreal/st…

@CarolineLucas @TheGreenParty @OpiniumResearch Good for you. Redistributive justice helps narrow inequalities and combat growing poverty. Next, progressive taxation on capital and corporate profits.
