The #State Dept began firing >1,350 #US based employees Friday as the #Trump admin goes ahead with an unprecedented overhaul of its #DiplomaticCorps, undermining US ability to defend & promote interests abroad.

The #layoffs, which affect 1,107 #CivilService & 246 #ForeignService officers in the US, come as the US faces multiple global #crises: #Russia's war in #Ukraine, the #Gaza conflict, & the #MiddleEast on edge due to tensions between #Israel & #Iran.

"Chinese analysts have been closely monitoring the #LosAngeles #unrest, which they said had been exploited by #US President Donald #Trump for #PoliticalTheatre, jeopardising public #safety and #stability. (..) Lacking diplomatic wins, Trump may pivot to harsher domestic tactics to assert strength, risking deeper #crises, according to Yang."

Err .. @EUCommission - seems you can't duck away from a public statement any more.

Or #China will voice "grave concern" first.

There are many ways Trump could trigger #global #collapse. How to survive

Could be #wildfires, #pandemic or financial crisis. The rich will flee to bunkers; rest of us will need to fend for ourselves

We might find it hard to imagine, we can't rule out the possibility USA's collapse

Degradation of federal govt by #Trump & #Musk could trigger series of converging & compounding #crises, leading to #social, #financial & #industrial failure

«Avec ce qui nous attend, c’est [.] d’un #syndicalisme combatif, #révolutionnaire, qu’il nous faut pour sortir du mode de production capitaliste qui nous amène vers l’abîme, que ce soit [par] la multiplication des #guerres , les #crises économiques [.]. Il y a la croissance mondiale qui ralentit, ça exacerbe tous les replis protectionnistes, les appels à l’union nationale, de type «on est tous dans le même bateau [.] patrons ouvriers, défendons notre industrie nationale face à la concurrence». »

“Crisis as Opportunity; Celebrating Crises
These are two titles I have often used for my presentations over the years. …they reflect my belief that humanity — or more accurately, those who have wrestled dominant power to control our globalized human civilization — have brought us to the adolescent crisis phase of a maturation process pervasive in Nature; a process for which the metamorphosis of the insatiable and destructive caterpillar giving way to its lighter-on-Earth butterfly is an apt metaphor.”

Redefining Western Engagement while Addressing #Africa’s Challenges amidst Global Priorities – Let’s Dive In!
Africa has often been neglected by Western nations, yet the continent’s leaders have not fully embraced the need to address internal #challenges. While significant issues persist across Africa, much of the West’s attention, notably from the US remains fixated on #conflicts such as the #Israel - #Hamas #war in the #MiddleEast.

The West’s #hypocrisy has become increasingly apparent, particularly evident in its response to #crises like the #Sudanese #conflict in 2003, where the primary concern seemed to be evacuating #Western citizens, leaving #Sudanese civilians vulnerable to the #violence. This raises concerns about the moral compass guiding Western actions. Africa, boasting a youthful population crucial for the global #workforce and abundant resources vital for global operations, deserves more proactive support from the #West to overcome its challenges.

#POTUS #Biden on Fri unveiled a $106B #aid package that could redefine his #ForeignPolicy legacy w/ the primary goal of mitigating 2 raging international #crises.

A new study on #planetary 🌍 boundaries takes safety and justice (protecting #vulnerable populations) into account.

Rockström et al. (2023) suggest that we have crossed seven of eight planetary boundaries in terms of both #safety and #justice. ⚖️

The twin #biodiversity and #climate #crises are absolutely a matter of justice. Rich individuals and countries can buy more time and safety. But many of our planetary neighbours cannot.

Hi everyone #introductions

I am a human-environment geographer looking at #crises and #transformations. I research how people forge new sustainability pathways while also examining how unequal power dynamics maintain the status quo (more in bio).

I am also passionate about arts-science and community-engaged or grassroots knowledge co-production.

Finally, I also❤️ #ceramics, #science-fiction, #fantasy, #graphicnovels. Travelling but also staying put to garden. Doing nothing at all.
