Fascism is always a war on the left. It's not all it is, but it's always that.

Following my work with the National Emergency Briefing, I've been reflecting on climate and nature science communication and the approaches I have found most impactful. www.abiperrin.com/p/communicat...

"It’s far from unreasonable to expect scientists and the academic community to act in line with their own knowledge and warnings, and I think it’s fair to say that (like most other parts of society) academia isn’t responding robustly to a world that’s literally and metaphorically on fire."

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

"En ny väljarmätning visar att många Tidö-väljare hellre ser Jimmie Åkesson som statsminister än Ulf Kristersson. SD:s ungdomsförbund har dessutom länge talat om behovet av ett svenskt ICE." 😬🫣🤮 www.aftonbladet.se/ledare/a/Rj9...

The owner of X is celebrating the surge in traffic that has coincided with its industrial scale production of CSAM. He is acting with impunity because governments across the world are allowing him to do so.

Elected politicians face rising mistrust, gridlock, and citizen disengagement. In their research, Şule Yaylacı, Edana Beauvais and Mark E. Warren show how democratic innovations can help elites tackle inclusion gaps, agenda-setting dilemmas, and decision-making deadlocks.

Vad kan vara roligare än att läsa "Interpretations of criteria-based assessment and grading in higher education" en fredag eftermiddag, samtidigt som världen runtomkring blir allt galnare. Jobbet känns alltmer som en normalitets-simulation. Någon som känner igen sig?

Så glad att kampen för att Zahra Kazemipour och Afshad Joubeh ska få stanna i Sverige så här långt rönt framgång!

X ceased being a public square years ago, and over the last month, it’s degraded even further. A platform that enables the creation non-consensual sexualised images of women and children cannot be treated as neutral ground - and governments choosing to stay are endorsing it. Enough is enough.

Multnomah Country, Oregon, has posted warnings to residents that ICE agents are impersonating utility workers. You read that right. ICE is now impersonating utility workers in order to gain access to people's homes and businesses without a warrant. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

It’s not a question of facts but of framing them.

“"People forget that we are actually a people. We are a people in our own right, with our own culture. We don't want to be Americans. It does not mean we don't want to trade with America or have connections to America, but we are not Americans."”

Heritage paper calls for ‘marriage bootcamp,’ more babies. The conservative think tank aims to boost U.S. marriage and birthrates by creating tax credits for bigger families and more" Sounds familiar: 'Lebensborn' (Fount of Life) was a SS-initiated assn. in Nazi Germany - wapo.st/3NjnQbg cont'd 👇

Stora demonstrationer har planerats idag kl 20 lokal tid i Iran, vilket inträffade för ca 45 min sedan. Inför detta stängde regimen ner internet i landet. Detta brukar ske när de planerar att nyttja skoningslös våld mot demonstranter som endast kräver grundläggande friheter och levnadsvillkor.

Normaliseringen är klar.

Riktigt så långt har vi inte kommit i Sverige. Än. Dags att stanna upp och försöka vända den här trenden, som ju bevisligen slutar i våld? Men hur får man politiker att sluta använda hatretorik? www.dn.se/kultur/ola-l...

Ett toppenexempel på hur dagens politiker egentligen inte tror på handling, bara på att säga rätt saker.

Time to work with nature, not against it. I hope to see much more varied, mixed forests in the future. In Germany and elsewhere.

oldhead advice from an oldhead. every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown" and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work gotta build for long term

This is not self defense. Nor is it where you aim your gun if you are trying to disable a moving vehicle before providing someone with due process. This is a federal agent choosing to murder.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

I think it's pretty clear that they want to provoke confrontation, and they want ICE agents to feel tense, frightened, and threatened—antagonistic to the public, grateful and loyal to the administration that "protects" them. They want excuses for violence, and a militia eager to deploy it.

After destroying every university in Gaza, Israeli occupation forces yesterday attacked Birzeit University in the occupied West Bank, firing live rounds at students and faculty. On the other side of the Wall, Israeli universities remain major recipients of EU research funding through Horizon Europe.

Idag var sista dagen att lämna remissvar på kulturkanonutredningen. Jag var en av dem som var med och skrev Uppsala universitets svar. Här kan man läsa vårt svar och andras: www.regeringen.se/remisser/202...

36 years since the first international climate science report. 38 years since Dr. James Hansen warned congress. 60 years since President Johnson warned the public. 71 years since the fossil fuel industry knew. And existential heat-trapping pollution from fossil fuels is rising faster than ever. 💫

This explains so much. People with psychopathic traits and low cognitive ability are over-represented in online political activity. If someone is being cruel, obnoxious and ridiculous, don't try to reason with them. Chances are you won't get anywhere. Just block. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I genuinely do not understand why this not being reported on much more. It is debatable whether they shd be in prison at all in the first place. But to let them die?

It isn't much of a stretch to think of them escalating in Mpls specifically, hoping for reactions like after George Floyd, and thus justifying massive military takeover of multiple US cities. This isn't conspiracy talk. This is educated hypothesis by anyone who pays attention to cities and power.

🧵📕 I boken ”Vi kan inte resa från barnen” som kommer den 15 april på Verbal förlag berättar jag den sanna och osminkade historien om min mormors föräldrar, två av Sveriges första missionärer i Kongostaten, den belgiske kung Léopold II:s privata koloni och historiens mest skräckfyllda kolonialvälde.

Hunger striker Heba Muraisi says she is ‘dying’ after 65 days without food.

Positivt om 'myndighetsaktivism': "We have shown how civil servants’ engagement in "institutional activism" has activated transformative imaginaries, subjectivities, and practices and [...] moved respective topics and conversations from the margins to a more prominent position [...]."

"Faced with Trump’s attacks over the past year, European leaders have responded with flattery, royal receptions, and promises to purchase more US weapons. But while many thought they had cracked the code for managing Trump, the U.S. attacks on Europe have only multiplied."

Detta är den riktiga ryggraden i vårt samhälle.

”Är det något vi borde ha lärt oss av USA:s president är det att även de mest absurda saker han säger bör tas på allvar.”

If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online. Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.

Palantir co-founder says it exists to kill communists.

Many good points in this text. "The lofty ideals of Western liberalism have been shattered. In an uncanny way, they are beginning to sound like George Orwell’s ‘Newspeak.’"

"I en tid av massutdöende, i samma skala som då dinosaurierna dog ut, är det dags att omvärdera synen på ägandet. Från ett markägande präglat av dominans och kontroll till omsorg och samverkan med landskapet. Ett regenerativt markägande respekterar alla invånares rättigheter att må väl."

På 10 år har narkotikarelaterade dödsfall i Stocholm minskat med 30 %. Minskningen beror inte på "hårdare tag", skriver @lisamagnusson.bsky.social. Istället har Stockholm alltmer övergett ett straffande förhållningssätt, och satsat på vård/stöd i enlighet med internationell forskning och erfarenhet.
