Linken, Grünen und SPD scheint etwas gelungen, was in der deutschen Politik inzwischen Seltenheitswert hat: sich auf Sachfragen und Problemlösungen zu konzentrieren, statt sich von Kampagnen und Umfragewerten treiben zu lassen. Das verdient schon jetzt Respekt.

These are footage from today, or rather-this morning! russia is killing my country, my people are dying at the hands of russians. At 00:17, there is a rescuer, and in his arms is a child They are trying to save them, trying to find them while they are still breathing.

Free weekend update is out. Russia has a strategy for this winter--massive war crimes to make Ukraine unlivable. We need to speak the truth on that. One reason they need to do this is that they are struggling in other parts of the war--see Vivaldi. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

Russia escalated its attacks on Ukraine’s civilian centres. Hospitals, offices, data centres, railways, warehouses and publishers hit. 90% of retail food-logistics capacity has been destroyed; millions of books and hundreds of locomotives lost or damaged.

Als in diesem Jahr mindestens 16.000 Menschen im Kontext der Extremhitze in Deutschland starben, hieß es, mehr Geld für Klimaanpassung? Neee, hamwer nicht. Jetzt sollen erneut Milliarden in den Rachen der Mineralölkonzerne geworfen werden, um fossilen Konsum zu erhalten.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Ein Roman von Ursula LeGuin, The Dispossessed, stellt sich eine entwickelte anarchistische Gesellschaft vor (sogar unter Bedingungen der materiellen Knappheit, weil ökologisch ungute Situation). Nicht alles daran gut, aber besser als Berlin 2026.

By russia's own deluded views, this would amount to russia bombing russian civilians. Might it be that russia doesn't really believe that Donetsk is a part of it? Or don't they care about their supposed citizens?

Yesterday afternoon 14:09 in Lacanau Océan in France. A pale red sun through the smoke tinged everything in Mars style orange. Welcome in the climate emergency! Despite all denial of the fossil fuel lobby, it’s scientific fact: CO2 emissions heat up Earth & make fires worse. 🔥🔥🔥
