A huge iceberg (1550 km²), almost the size of Greater London, has broken off the 150m thick Brunt Ice Shelf. It calved after cracks that have been developing naturally over the last few years extended across the entire ice shelf, causing the new iceberg to break free. This occurred on Sunday 22 January between 19.00 and 20.00 UTC during a spring tide. #Antarctica #BruntIceShelf #iceberg

There is no such thing as a “job creator.” There are employers, who hire employees, *because they need them*. And then employers pay the employees less than the value they generate. That’s the system. How did we get to the point at which people behave as if the wealthy are giving a gift to working people? I realize it’s not a new attitude, but it remains proudly f’d up.

During the American Civil War, the South thought they could blackmail the British into supporting them by restricting the supply of cotton. Without cotton the mills of Lancashire would close and there would be real hardship. However, the mill workers of Lancashire opposed slavery, and the British eventually got new sources of cotton like Egypt. #history shows the commodity weapon Putin thinks he has, isn’t all that. #politics #SlavaUkraini
