A vibe running through the timelines.
I think understanding tenets of #Necropolitics is the only way of being able to grapple intellectually with what is going on in here right now.

At #SOTU President waxed on about employees streaming back into downtown centers (translation: hard lobbying from commercial real estate interests).

Realpolitik: The individual worker is an expendable cog. The market must be fed and protected at ALL costs. CDC is co-opted and its ambiguous messaging is meant to lull the currently-functioning worker into a false sense of safety and normalcy.

On Monday we launched our major £2 million #GCRF #UKRI peace building project. Yesterday the Govt announced cuts to international science the savagery of which has never been seen before, to make war #WDMs @CMonaghanSNP @alisonthewliss theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/m…
The savage cuts are taking immediate effect. The length, depth and consequences are as yet unknown but they will result directly in increases in poverty, violence against women & girls & the crumbling of civic cultural institutions - as our research to date shows. #ODAcuts #SDGs
#ODACuts to international science & research budget with our international partners in the global south are estimated at £125million “The MoD has said developing the next generation of Dreadnought submarines to carry the new warhead would cost £30bn plus a £10bn contingency.”
1. The American necropolitical system and the death of a thousand cuts.
I am halfway through writing a book on #suicide and training focused on understanding suicide.

2. The medicalized version of #suicide, according to which suicide is a manifestation of mental illness and, therefore, tautologically, suicides are predominantly caused by mental illness is logically and empirically false and I am providing evidence for my argument.
3. The current increase in self-destructive deaths which include deaths that don't end up as suicides in public statistics is a result of the intensification of American #necropolitics.

Well intentioned, but with the Palestinian boycott this sounds kinda like the clown show in Afghanistan. Anyone seen Mohammed Dahlan, the UAE chosen one to run Palestine? axios.com/kushner-opens-…
The idea seems to be to make Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas look bad and then grease up the Arab dictatorships true chosen one: Dahlan. timesofisrael.com/while-israels-…
#MohammedDahlan has or is involved in #fuckery in Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Libya, Israel, the Balkans and other countries where the UAE is working or stirring things up. The goal of dictators is to install other dictators who they can keep on a leash. voltairenet.org/article204991.…
