A second dollar piece has hit the socials.This time alongside the inimitable @jessicawhyte.bsky.social: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6448518 Using Guha's work, we trace the transition from dollar hegemony to dollar dominance and the attendant shift in legal forms underpinning currency power.

NEW: Lebanon is Gaza 2.0. That’s what Israeli ministers are saying in their own words. Believe them.

If humanity survives, Trump’s obsession with oil will be remembered like going to war over horsepower during the Industrial Revolution

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

As Jewish Australians, we are devastated to learn of the Israeli assault on Lebanon yesterday. We urge @albomp.bsky.social and Foreign Minister Wong to speak out against Israel's violent escalation and call on the Government to take decisive action by demanding an immediate ceasefire.

Excited to share my new article in @lsijournal.bsky.social:
“Vacationing on a Tax Haven” explores how Puerto Rico’s visitor economy is intertwined with offshore finance, colonial legality, and extraction.

What do you want Democrats to do? There's nothing they can do. However, it's very important you continue to vote for them and give them money, as they continue to do nothing.

Hormuz has exposed both the fragility of the fossil fuel system and the limits of American power. Washington no longer seems able to win the wars it starts or manage the economic fallout of its recklessness. www.equator.org/articles/the-reckoning-hormuz-iran-war

HORRIBLE. ICE is averaging more than one death a week this year. It's like clockwork. The last death reported was exactly seven days ago.

Nuclear orientalism (see: Gusterson) is people being fixated on what Iran might do if it gets a nuclear weapon while a white guy with thousands of them threatens Iran with hellfire.

One of the towns that Israel is detonating, Khiam, is where they ran their notorious torture prison during their previous occupation of South Lebanon.

If you know Soha Bechara's story, that was in Khiam.

The countries hardest hit by the energy crisis are low in income and high in import dependency for fossil fuels, for example Morocco and the Philippines. They have nothing to do with this illegal war, yet their economies and livelihoods are being destroyed.
