The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the anti-Trump 'No Kings' rallies with Ahmad Husam of Propaganda & Co. and ask why they are so devoid of antiwar messaging.
More than 2,000 protests were scheduled across all 50 states Saturday through the No Kings movement, which organizers say seeks to reject “authoritarianism, billionaire-first politics, and the militarization of our democracy.”

The image shows a scene of discarded items in an outdoor setting. In the foreground, there is a black computer keyboard lying on the ground, partially obscured by green foliage. The keyboard is positioned on a patch of soil, with a large gray rock to its left and a clear plastic bag filled with various items to its right. The bag is tied at the top and appears to contain crumpled paper and other debris. Behind the keyboard, a brick wall is visible, and the ground is paved with cobblestones. The surrounding area is overgrown with green plants, including broad-leafed vegetation. A metal object, possibly a tool or part of a structure, is partially visible on the left side of the image. The overall scene suggests neglect and littering in an urban environment.

From the fringes to the mainstream: Meet the hardline anti-immigration activist who helped shape Trump's agenda
The former leader of FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, Dan Stein, retired this year after more than 40 at the helm of the organization. The right-wing group has long fought to reduce immigration and for tougher border controls. Under President Trump, Stein's once-fringe ideas are now being enacted.

"In the Global South, elite “moral ambition” has always arrived as occupation: development programs that serve foreign interests, or austerity imposed in the name of progress."
"The School for Moral Ambition arrives at a moment of global reckoning. We don’t need another cult of elite redemption. We need systems dismantled, wealth redistributed, and power returned to those who’ve always been told they’re unqualified to lead."

Money exchange shops serve Palestinians across the occupied West Bank.
But since the war on Gaza began, Israel has targeted these shops for allegedly funding the resistance - a claim denied by the Palestinian Authority.
More than nine million dollars have so far been seized, and dozens of people arrested.

Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.

Not only that. Energy is also a very important input, which comes back nicely to the gasoline for a car vs digital subscription example.
It's hard to avoid news like these nowadays:
cnbc.com/2025/06/21/why-electr…
or:
npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-51205…
Or even a cursory browse of @gerrymcgovern feed will give you a good idea of how much input the digital world requires.
Why electricity prices are surging for U.S. households

@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
While it is obvious that more energy is needed to move a car than to stream an album over the internet, it becomes much less obvious once the whole system is taken into account. Just like roads have costs, so does the internet infrastructure. Storing and streaming data requires data centers, routers, switches and cables that not only need to be constantly powered, but also periodically replaced.
1/2
@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
In fact, diesel-powered trucks visit data centers every day to replace old and broken equipment.
Given all that, can we be sure that $100 of digital goods requires smaller resource input than $100 of gasoline?
Our world becomes increasingly digitized and yet our resource use is only going up. How would you explain that?
2/2
Firstly, because I have recent lifecycle analysis under my eyes. We are talking differences by one or two orders of magnitude, there.
Secondly, the increase of resources consumption at world level is overwhelmingly the effect of development. In the Western world, resource consumption per capita is stable or decreasing in most countries (the US are, as for health, the embarrassing outlier).
@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
"We are talking differences by one or two orders of magnitude"
Could you share a link to that research?
"In the Western world, resource consumption per capita is stable or decreasing in most countries."
That is surprising. Is this accounting for trade?
For energy use, this chart (not trade adjusted) is a good place to start : ourworldindata.org/grapher/per…

How much energy do countries consume when we take offshoring into account?
How do energy footprints compare across the world when we adjust for the goods that we import from overseas?Hannah Ritchie (Our World in Data)
@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
This is energy only, and the claim was about all inputs.
It may be hard to find good estimates from the production side, so we may as well look at the waste side:
ourworldindata.org/grapher/pla…
Europe went from 2.11m tonnes of plastic waste ending up in the ocean in 2000 to 5.05m tonnes in 2019.
Similarly, according to:
globalewaste.org/statistics/co…
Europe went from 15.6kg of e-waste per capita in 2015 to 17.6kg in 2022.
@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
I live in Europe and wherever I look I see more *stuff*. There's no way we are using less resource inputs per capita than 20 or even 10 years ago.
A current BMW consumes half as much as a 1990's Ford Sierra.
There has also been bounds in energy efficiency of most home appliances and heating devices.
You'll also notice that there is more stuff, but most of it is so much lighter than it used to be.
@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
Yes, but there were less cars when I was young. The playground next to my parents' house has been converted into a parking lot. 🙁
The car sizes also changed drastically. Our family of five drove on vacation in Fiat 126p. Now my two parents drive alone in Toyota RAV4.
The lighter stuff may still have a bigger environmental impact / material input. Just ask yourself: how many kilograms of raw materials must be mined to produce a single cell phone?
@jackofalltrades
A single cell phone? Last time I checked up, it was about 60 - 90 kg of mining waste for that 140 grams of specialness. And about 14,000 liters of water. Not to worry, we've only made and dumped about 16 billion of them since 2007.
@jackofalltrades
Excellent points. Bigger and worse. Lighter and more throwaway. Planned obsolescence and all that. Driven by the corrupted concepts of innovation and efficiency.
There's more materials in a modern tire than there used to be in an entire car. What that means is that tires are toxic time bombs, with a car’s four tires generating one trillion toxic nano particles of dust for every kilometer driven. But, heh, innovation and efficiency!

@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
No, I'm arguing that deriving a marginal cost for digital goods is not as straightforward as one could wish. Unless we externalise pretty much everything, which would make your original point about "less inputs" moot.
@MathieuP @stekopf @gerrymcgovern
To give an example of what I mean:
If 10 more subscribers to Amazon Prime causes Amazon to run an additional server, is that part of their fixed cost or marginal cost of the new subscriptions?
If 10 more people are streaming movies every day causing the ISP to upgrade their routers is that part of their fixed cost or marginal cost of the new subscribers?
Etc.
PRESS REVIEW – Monday, June 23: First, a look at global frontpages covering Trump's intervention in Iran.
Then, papers divide over US bombs in Iran - an 'illegal" act for some papers vs. the right moment creating an opportunity for peace for others.
Next, the Iranian press condemns Trump's move, saying the US "will pay". Finally, a look at illustrators' take on the ongoing war.
