South Korea will "give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself, as President" , Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday, as he announced the deal.

This is not a USD350 billion investment, it’s handing over extortion money to a single person who will use the money at his will.
Can’t believe the world ex US is not banding together to stop daylight theft.

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

"Hilfslieferungen aus der Luft" helfen kaum & sind zudem tödlich – genauso wie die mörderischen "Verteilzentren der Gaza Humanitarian Foundation". Das sind Verschleierungstaktiken einer genozidalen Politik. Medien haben die Pflicht, dieses Täuschungsvokabular nicht in Titeln zu reproduzieren.

"In Gaza breitet sich eine Massenhungersnot aus und unsere Kolleg*innen und die Menschen, denen wir helfen, siechen dahin."

Ein offener Brief von @medico2.bsky.social und mehr als 100 anderen Organisationen, die in Gaza aktiv sind.

Es ist eine Schande!

Review of ‘Confronting Climate Coloniality: Decolonizing Pathways for Climate Justice’ edited by Farhana Sultana In the 2025 documentary “Ocean with David Attenborough”, industrialised modern fishing trawlers were described as ‘modern colonialism at sea’.

The natural gas trap Switching to gas reduces emissions in the short term but increases them in the long run

Jetzt auch ökonomisch begründet: wer jetzt in fossiles Gas ("Erdgas", "natural gas", ist alles: fossiles Gas) investiert, fährt eine Strategie, die zu mehr, nicht zu weniger Emissionen führt.

Proving once more: es gibt keinen #Klimaschutz im Kapitalismus.

Rather beautifully, Professor Mahmood Mamdani's dedication in "Neither Settler Nor Native" is to his trail-blazing son, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

He quotes the revolutionary Chinese writer Lu Xun's famous concluding lines in "Hometown":

「其實地上本沒有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。」

Chasse aux sans-papiers dans les transports : comment Macron et Bayrou peuvent-ils laisser Retailleau faire ça ? Retailleau instrumentalise une fois de plus le sujet de l’immigration illégale à son profit et sert surtout l’agenda du RN.

Wir können viel über ICE reden und was Schlimmes in den USA passiert, aber nebenbei: der französische Innenminister hat die letzten zwei Tage 4 000 Polizisten und Anti-Terror-Einheiten des Militärs an die Bahnhöfe, in Metros und Busse geschickt, um sans papiers abzufangen.

«Der Prozess der Faschisierung lässt sich nicht auf den Aufstieg rechtsextremer Bewegungen reduzieren … Viel plausibler ist, dass es sich um eine Vertiefung bestehender Herrschaftsverhältnisse handelt, bei der die Selbstbeschränkung souveräner Gewalt … angesichts einer Krise aufgehoben wird.»

The Value of Nature - Dissent Magazine Why have some gifts of nature remained free?

"Debates about the value of nature, in other words, are never simply about ethics or “the environment.” They are also, always, debates about what we produce and why; about who decides, and toward what ends." by @alybatt.bsky.social

Die Kampagne von Mamdani sollten alle verfolgen – besonders die Linken in Berlin! Angriffslustige Videos, klare Botschaften und eine echte Graswurzelkampagne.
