Im Herbst hatte ich berichtet, dass ein umstrittener US-Konzern dt. NATO-Pipelines übernehmen könnte. Jetzt ist es passiert, wie @papertrailmedia.de meldet. Bleibt die Frage: Wie geht die Regierung mit kritischer Infrastruktur um, die zentral für unsere Versorgungssicherheit ist?

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

5-year-old Liam is currently at Dilley, an ICE detention facility in Texas. NCYL's Neha Desai says children there have suffered a "dramatic decline in their physical and mental health;" it's "fundamentally unsafe for anyone, let alone young children." www.cbsnews.com/news/5-year-...

Donde está Liam?

Boycott soccer World Cup? Oke Göttlich, the president of Bundesliga club St. Pauli and one of the German federation’s 10 vice presidents, told the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper in an interview on Friday that “the time has come” to “seriously consider and discuss this.” St. Pauli!

The Columbia Heights school district says ICE detained four of its students, including a 5-year-old boy, as "bait" to draw out family members.

My first career was in international human rights in the late 1980s. This is not unlike how tens of thousands of people were “disappeared” across the world in that era.

This as not just a post, but a formal diplomatic demarche to European govts? Thinly veiled threat of US military aggression against ally (for now) Denmark? I really hope Europe is waking up to the threat they face

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just issued an executive order shutting down state police cooperation with Trump’s ICE immediately after taking office.

New World Economic Forum Global Risks data provides a stark warning: While short-term crises dominate headlines, "Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse" jumps to the 2nd highest risk over the 10-year horizon. The long term is sooner than we think. Science-based policies via IPBES are crucial.🌍

Breaking: 30 UN experts have strongly condemned US invasion of Venezuela. 'It is gravely concerning that, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, this marks 2nd time in 4yrs a Permanent Member of the Security Council has carried out an armed attack in flagrant violation of the UN Charter.'

#USA: Die Tagesspiegel-Journalistin Farangies Ghafoor wurde kurzfristig aus einem US-Journalistenprogramm ausgeladen – möglicherweise, weil sie kritisch über Trump berichtete. Die US-Botschaft informierte sie darüber, dass das Programm abgesagt worden sei, obwohl es regulär stattfand.

Trump geht es um die „totale Zerstörung der Orientierung an Wahrheit (…) und ihre totalitäre Ersetzung durch Macht und Herrschaft“ (@andreaskemper.bsky.social). Die Berichterstattung über die Exekution von Renee Good zeigt: Trump ist dem Ziel der Zerstörung näher gekommen www.mdr.de/altpapier/da...

Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT: When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

In addition to the UNFCCC and IPCC exits, Treasury just announced it's withdrawing from the global Green Climate Fund, calling it a "radical" organization

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up. Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes. More: www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

Trump’s illegal attack on Venezuela and support for Maduro’s successor has emboldened the remaining members of the regime. They’re now conducting a crackdown. The Union of Journalists and Media Workers in says at least 14 journalists were detained yesterday.

Tooze disagrees that Resource imperialism is an explanation for Trumpists actions. Why not? 1 Assets are small. Oil is heavy & difficult to recover economically 2 Financial liabilities of VZ govt are large Concludes that trump likes "cosplaying" as imperialist adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

An unknown trader raked in a profit worth about $410,000 after betting that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro would be ousted from his position reut.rs/4qyi2sO

"U.S. oil majors don’t necessarily want back into #Venezuela’s declining and decrepit oil fields [but] are eager to protect their interests in neighboring Guyana, home to one of the world’s most productive #oil fields, which... Nicolás Maduro has aggressively been trying to claim as his own..."

#Berlin Wir haben hier im Norden von Brandenburg ein Ferienhaus mit 4 Schlafzimmern für 9 Menschen. Das stellen wir bis zum Ende vom Stromausfall gern zur Verfügung.

Was Maduro handed over by his own team? Some reporting suggests US attack on Caracas may not have come as much as a surprise to some Venezuelan officials as they are publicly claiming LATEST for PWS

1/10 🧵 The U.S. just captured a sitting head of state in a military operation—and Trump says the U.S. will "run" Venezuela “for now.” Whatever you think of Maduro, this is the most consequential unilateral move in the hemisphere since Panama (1989).

US attacks Venezuelan capital, captures Maduro An unknown number of civilian casualties as explosions rock Caracas LATEST by me for PWS

If accurate, this raises the question "who is governing Venezuela right now, and tomorrow?" (The answer isn't "Delta Force" or "SEAL Team 6," that's not what they do.) While nearly every state has a presidential line of succession, that may not indicate where power actually lies in coming days.

Wenn auch schon aus Dezember ‘25, zur Einordnung ganz hilfreich: (Geschenklink)

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 clearly states that the President may not send troops into hostilities or imminent hostilities without: - a declaration of war - specific congressional authorization - an attack on the United States And that the President must consult with Congress first.

Looking back to @wwattribution.bsky.social studies in 2025 showed again, in stark terms, how unfairly the consequences of human-induced climate change are distributed. The world does not have to be like this, we have a lot of agency to make it better. www.worldweatherattribution.org/unequal-evid...

You probably heard the US admin is threatening to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research: but did you know they already froze funding for the 9 regional Climate Science Adaptation Centers? From tracking invasives to helping tribes with drought, here's why the CASCs matter ⬇️

“Brazil's Supreme Court ordered house arrest for 10 officials in the govt of former president Jair Bolsonaro for participation in an attempted coup. The 10 helped plan the coup plot, sought legal justification for it, or spread disinformation on social media, according to the Supreme Court.”

Wer ein paar Euro übrig hat:

65% of voters say global heating is raising prices. What if Democrats talked about that, rather than future jobs, trusting science or "all of the above" energy policy? "If you like chocolate, you should care about climate change.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A painful, but realistic analydis of the state of international law at the end of 2025. Hope lies in the continuous belief by many young people that international law remains a language in which we can call an injustice what it is: A wrongful act. www.theguardian.com/law/ng-inter...
