'Many, especially women, speak of a sense of suffocation and dread; fearing their bodies won’t cope or that a loved one will collapse' - the brutal reality for people enduring climate-driven extreme heat:

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

www.liberalbriefs.com/geopolitics/...

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

Greta welcomed back in Europe

Greta welcomed back in Europe

The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Greta Thunberg & the participants of the Sumud Flotilla for being able to break the genocidal Israeli blockade after 19 years and for successfully promoting human rights and international law by putting their lives at risk. @nobelprize.bsky.social

Every time the "trans people are 1% of the U.S. population" thing comes up, I feel compelled to point out that the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum says that Jewish people made up about 0.75% of the population of Germany in 1933.

Richard and Laurie Eckman weren’t screaming or being violent. They were just standing outside the ICE building in Portland, holding space at a peaceful protest. Richard even wore his veteran cap. All they were guilty of was standing around with a sign.

Buried in the polls, with every American screaming for the Epstein files, the walls are closing in on Tangerine Palpatine.

Sending troops to every city you can in a desperate attempt to make martial law happen is not strength. It’s the last gasp of a dying regime.

🌱 Wist je dat... πŸ‡³πŸ‡± Nederland – na Cyprus – de meeste pesticiden per hectare gebruikt in Europa?
πŸ’ En dat bijna 25% van het Nederlandse pesticidengebruik plaatsvindt in de sierteelt, terwijl die maar 1,7% van het landbouwareaal beslaat?

Wat een goed gebaar.
Geschiedenis herhaalt, zich niet, maar rijmt soms wel. We zitten op dit moment met nogal wat geestelijke erfgenamen van Anton Mussert in het parlement: PVV, FVD, JA21, en BBB.
De VVD zette twee van die uiterst rechtse bewegingen in de regering.

Miljarden euro’s voor Tata om ons strategisch β€˜autonoom’ te maken. Wat betekent dat eigenlijk? Follow the Money - Platform voor onderzoeksjournalistiek

Nederland trekt miljarden uit voor Tata Steel, in naam van β€˜strategische autonomie’. Maar hoe autonoom ben je als je grondstoffen uit AustraliΓ« haalt, gas uit Amerika importeert en de fabriek eigendom is van een Indiaas bedrijf? Je leest er alles over in de Klimaatnieuwsbrief van @tiesjoosten.nl.

Neo-Nazis (synonymous with MAGA) always try to divide their opposition in an attempt to imprint their diseased minds on their opponents. Race and culture wars are all that they have to offer. #StephenMiller#USPolitics

Traumatizing minority kids brought a brief smile to Miller’s face, I’m sure. Probably gave those unused muscles a cramp, the creepy goblin.
