If you'd like to what scientists working in institutions, grappling with norms of the profession, think about the enormity of what they know & the lack of commensurate action, listen to this by @thierryaaron.bsky.social What does the scientific community owe the public? What does it owes itself?

Dengang var det altid kun indvandrermiljøer, religiøse sekter eller rockerklubber, der dækkede over lovbrud. Det var naturligvis helt utænkeligt at forestille sig, at det kunne ske i gode danske demokratiske foreninger.

Kan I huske dengang, alle talte om parallelsamfund? Om det uacceptable i, at lukkede samfund "løste" problemer med kriminel adfærd uden om retsvæsenet?

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Der er ikke ét medie der har fulgt op på afmonteringen af Vollsmose & Gellerup. Beboerne genhuses 3-4 gange uden støtte eller forklaringer. De modtager kæmperegninger for el-og varme i lejligheder de ikke beboer & ingen hjælper. Det er flygtninge vi taler om.

Marxism is foundational to the discipline of political ecology, and yet in the past few years there’s been a notable decline of Marxist perspectives in the discipline’s leading conferences and forthcoming handbooks. 1/5

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

The stakes have never been higher, and the goal has never been more clear:
Remigration now.

Ever wondered why there is no accessible book-length introduction to ecological economics and the political economy of transitions in Danish? I know I have, so I tried to write one. It is out tomorrow, asking how we analytically should approach whether it is too little, too late and who benefits.
