Opinion piece in @szde.bsky.social on why the 20-point-plan, like earlier initiatives, denies Palestinians basic human rights, including self determination, and how States like Germany are, and have been, untrustworthy actors in the question of Palestine. www.sueddeutsche.de/meinung/pala...

This is an excellent point that generalizes. Researchers often defend suboptimal practices by referring to future studies with better designs. But: Why would anybody run those studies when you can just throw a bunch of variables into a regression and make sweeping "preliminary" claims?

An entire segment of the population is being repeatedly told that ’illegal immigration‘ - which is in fact barely 5% of immigration - is the dominant problem in this country. This is a media-driven phenomenon.

'When someone says we can’t miss the boat, I ask: where is the boat going? What exactly will this technology improve? That’s rarely discussed. Since when did [universities] become Big Tech's free PR department?' — Nicky Dries, Future of Work Lab at the Catholic University of Leuven

A lot of psych is already conducted with online convenience samples & ppl are probably excited about silicon samples bc it would allow them to crank out more studies for even less 💸 How about we reconsider the idea that sciencey science involves collecting own data. www.science.org/content/arti...

Ironically, as Paul Stern argued, insisting on only system change can itself become a discourse of delay. When system change is treated as the only legitimate form of action, it risks sidelining the solutions that could reduce emissions right now. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Ich hab auch ein Problem mit dem Stadtbild in Deutschland, aber was das mit Migration zu tun hat, ist mir nicht klar

it's ok

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others” According to another observer, she was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy”

Israeli Defense Minister Katz: "Those who remain in Gaza City will be terrorists and terror supporters." In other words, Israel declares its intention to exterminate everyone in Gaza City who could not move south. That is what calling everyone 'terrorists and terror supporters' means.

"The scientists who alerted the world to the climate and ecological crises have a moral duty to join the popular movements demanding political action." Call by @charliejgardner.bsky.social and Claire Wordley in @natecoevo.nature.com, 2019. scientistswarning.forestry.oregonstate.edu/sites/defaul...

While a vast majority of diplomats walk out before Netanyahu's speech at the UN making him speak in front of an almost empty room, the Israeli military forces Palestinians in Gaza to listen to it by bringing massive loudspeakers and blasting the sound into Gaza.

Und wo ist der Flyer, der Männer auffordert sich nicht wie übergriffige Arschlöcher zu verhalten?

I feel like a broken record, but it's important to keep repeating this: Germany has the obligation to prevent and punish genocide. Today, we go to the streets to demand this www.swr.de/kultur/gesel...

Es ist an der Zivilgesellschaft, die mehrheitlich den Genozid ablehnt, unsere Regierung zur Einhaltung des humanitären Völkerrechts zu bewegen - insbesondere priviligierte Gesellschaftsschichten tragen hierfür Verantwortung. Wir sehen uns auf der Straße!

Großartig: Niemand geringeres als Peter Fox (!) zerlegt Harald Martensteins Blödsinn über die Erbschaftssteuer in einem Leserbrief in der ZEIT. Ob Pierre Baigorry alias Fox selbst mal über den Freibetrag kommen wird, wenn er sein Haus am See vererbt?

1.) that men’s private emotional thriving—as opposed to their material conditions—should be a matter addressed by public policy and 2.) both the blame for and responsibility to fix this supposed problem lies with women

Reminder that "not acting" shapes the future as much as "acting" does and that not choosing is a choice.

Vor 4 Jahren erschien übrigens mein Buch, „Amerikas Gotteskrieger“. Was gab es damals Empörung wegen des Titels (und Inhalts) - die Warnung vor christlichem Nationalismus & Theokratie (noch dazu von einer jungen Frau!) wurde als hysterisch abgetan. Jetzt titelt der Spiegel genau das: „Gotteskrieger“

A month ago, the famine in Gaza, deliberately created by the Israeli government, was officially confirmed by UN agencies. Since then, there has been an eerie silence in the media here, with far fewer reports than there were before. But it hasn't ended. On the contrary, it has intensified.

Look who came with

Francesca Albanese tonight at Wembley. ‘This cruelty did not start 700 days ago.’ ‘Britain planted the seeds of this catastrophe.’

Another report, same conclusion. When will States intervene in accordance with their obligations? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The rise of radical-right parties doesn’t begin with the “left behind.” It begins with those most insulated from stigma. In Spain, the better-off broke the taboo first, making it easier for others to follow. 📄 Full paper here: osf.io/preprints/so... Feedback is more than welcome! 🙏

Erneut hat die israelische Armee heute ein markantes Wahrzeichen in Gaza-City zerstört: Diesmal den Al-Ru’ya-Turm, in dem Büros von Menschenrechts- und Hilfsorganisationen, Zentren für Frauen- und Kinderbetreuung, Anwaltskanzleien sowie medizinische Kliniken untergebracht waren. #Gaza

"Partei der Arbeit", nicht etwa Partei der Arbeiter. Besser kann man die heruntergewirtschaftete sozialdemokratische Partei nicht auf den Punkt bringen.

The leader of the German/Bavarian (ultra-)Conservatives Söder has just published a manifesto pro-(fossil fuel) car in 10 points that is titled "Yes to car-country Germany!"

👏👏👏

I woke up and checked my Degrowth feed to find this nonsense. We're all well aware by now of the ideological attacks on academic freedom by right wing regimes (notably the one in the USA). Turns out centrists are apt to do the same thing, for only slightly different reasons. 🧵

THE most important thing, bar none, you need to understand about Israel bombing hospitals, killing journalists and double-tapping rescue workers is that it's been happening for almost 2 years straight with not a single Western media outlet giving a single fuck.

Längst überfällig – und doch ungenügend: Die BuReg muss alle Waffenlieferungen stoppen, nicht nur ein Moratorium für neue. Seit 4/24 kämpfen wir juristisch gegen dt. Waffenlieferungen nach Israel, die in Gaza eingesetzt werden. Unsere Klagen & Eilanträge laufen weiter – genauso wie Netanjahus Krieg.

Ist die @bpb.de eigentlich cool damit wenn ein Mitglied ihres wissenschaftlichen Beirats derartige Dinge online verbreitet…?

Very interesting new study led by my colleague Isabelle Wachter on what drives changes in motorisation rates in German municipalities - AFAIK one of few studies to look into this with longitudinal data doi.org/10.1016/j.jt...

Ist auch(!) eine Verantwortung von Medien, wem sie eigentlich Raum geben, über welchen Dreh man Geschichten erzählt. Aber wenn diejenigen, die den Laden zusammenhalten wollen, schweigen, joa.

There is no longer any doubt that Israel has set up a fake humanitarian organisation so it can kettle Gazans into a kill box and murder them en masse It is evil beyond description and in a decent world it would result in immediate, massive, global action to stop them and prosecute those responsible

Gestern war der 30. Gedenktag an den Genozid an den Bosniak:innen & der erste internationale Gedenktag. Zu dem Anlass waren ich & ein weiterer Genozidüberlebender, sowie einige bosnische Diplomat:innen im deutschen Bundestag eingeladen. Was folgte war extrem traumatisierend.

Air travel is exempted from many taxes that apply to other modes (for example, fuel taxes), which explains why flights are so cost-competitive vs. say rail. The German government just announced it wants to cut taxes on air travel.

What exactly in the last months has led you to believe the EU could "count on Israel"?! There need to be sanctions and an immediate suspension of the trade agreement.

German Chancellor Merz today in parliament on climate policy. The media is already heralding this as a radical new course in climate policy, but really it's just one of the most trite "discourses of climate delay": whataboutism.
