The organizations the US has withdrawn from function as institutionalized arenas of international communication. Maintaining such channels reduces the risk of escalation and to contribute indirectly to the prevention of conflicts, including those related to scarce resources.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million. After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips. If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.

Wir müssen mehr arbeiten? Neue Studie zeigt: 4-Tage-Woche bei vollem Lohn senkt Burnout, verbessert Schlaf & Jobzufriedenheit. Mehr Stunden bringen nicht mehr Leistung – sondern schaden der Gesundheit. Wer längere Arbeitszeiten fordert, liegt wissenschaftlich daneben. Fan et al. (2025)

Was in Gasa passiert ist einfach nur unglaublich abscheulich, das Massaker an der Bevölkerung und vor allem an KINDERN. Wie um alles in der Welt kann es sein, dass Deutschland sich einem internationalen Aufruf zur Beendigung dieser Barbarei verweigert. Das ist widerlich! taz.de/25-Staaten-f...

UnitedHealthcare is raising premiums for policyholders in New York and Washington after spending $9B on stock buybacks last year. Healthcare companies are robbing you blind to enrich their executives and shareholders. This is why we need Medicare for All.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

New study finds that scientists' engagement in climate protests does not erode their credibility. This supports our previous findings on scientists' advocacy. Thank you for this important contribution @fdabl.bsky.social, @maiensachis.bsky.social, and Adam Aron 👏

'Trump is installing what scholars call patrimonialism. Understanding patrimonialism is essential to defeating it. In particular, it has a fatal weakness that Democrats and Trump’s other opponents should make their primary and relentless line of attack.' (Corruption)

🧵Censor, purge, defund - how Trump is following the authoritarian playbook on science & universities. This isn't chaos - it's deliberate & well-established methods. I've mapped 40 actions into 3 categories covering attacks on science, attacks on universities and international collaboration. 1/16

The spread of uninsurable areas is one important consequences of climate change, which will have a huge impact on society and inequality. Competition for areas that are still comparatively safe will increase significantly, and people with few resources will definitely lose out. #SocialTippingPoint
