Rubio: „Make Western Civilization great again“ (and save it from „civilizational erasure“, caused by „mass migration“ and „climate religion“). Wang Yi: „Let‘s save the UN, global governance and multilateralism“. 🤡

Only if emails count...

Why are vegans, drivers of electric vehicles, peaceniks etc hated so much by reactionaries? Because their mere existence is a (justified) criticism of the behaviour of those who would prefer just to carry on unthinkingly.

An idea whose time is at least 15 years overdue...

Global Labor Mobility between Shrinking and Growing Labor Forces (Winter 2026) - Falling fertility and improved mortality create a powerful and inexorable demographic arithmetic of ageing in the coming decades around the world, with three patterns. The richest coun...

The native workforces of today's wealthiest countries are rapidly disappearing due to fertility that is low and very unlikely to rise—ever, and certainly not in time to make a difference.

The ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.

This highly influential White House advisor now states openly: use paramilitary forces to intervene directly in our elections.

This is what the conspiracy theories have been for. This moment.

Conservative and Liberal Americans reject fascism. We know it won't help any 'side'. It is time to act.

Trump Says Republicans Should ‘Nationalize’ Voting Trump blamed illegal immigration for skewing elections toward Democrats, though there’s no evidence to back up his claims.

And so a new messaging battle begins. Trump is escalating his claims, arguing that illegal immigration is distorting elections in Democrats’ favour. It’s a familiar strategy aimed at casting doubt on the anticipated blue 🌊 in this year's midterms. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

U.N. Says It’s in Danger of Financial Collapse Because of Unpaid Dues

Putting solar panels on land used for biofuels would produce enough electricity for all cars and trucks to go electric The world dedicates a Poland-sized area of land to liquid biofuels. Is there a more efficient way to generate energy?

Yet another societal failure caused by the youth with their avocado toast, alcohol-free beer, and refusal to do murders

Bar chart shows the % of global fossil fuel emissions occurring in a lifetime with bars of different length for ages from 5 to 100 years. More emissions happen over a longer lifetime. During the life of an 85 year old, 90% of all emissions happened. For someone age of 30 the rate is already 50%

If you're aged 30 or more, then 50% of all human fossil fuel emissions happened during your lifetime

Hardly an original thought, but when you think of all the forced migration and imposed settlement that was an integral part of U.S. and European colonialism, the current backlash to immigration in the West becomes even more egregious.

Trump's trade wars are pushing China and India closer - at least in the economic field
• In December India's exports to China were nearly 70% higher than one year earlier
• New Delhi is mulling allowing Chinese companies to invest in India again

Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time.

This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.

two images of an arrest, one digitally altered by the White House to make it look like the arrestee is crying

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

Digital liberation: EU Parliament calls for detachment from US tech giants EU MEPs outline a course change in digital policy. They demand independence from US infrastructures and more domestic AI and open source.

The "EU Parliament adopted a report on technological sovereignty and digital infrastructure with a large, cross-party majority ... This broad alliance signals the determination of the MEPs to drastically reduce European dependence on US technologies and to massively expand their own capabilities."
