#OtD 30 January 1938 during the Spanish Civil War, fascist Italy's air force bombed the church and square of Sant Felip Neri, Barcelona, killing 42 people, 30 of whom were children. The church was also serving as an orphanage at the time stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1027...

These sorts of stories are profoundly depressing. The cumulate impacts of trillions of tons of carbon dioxide pollution is melting fragile ecosystems which leaves them open to plunder by the machines of an extractive capitalism that will never been sated.

Natural passive house technology, urban retrofitting and so much more is people powered, if you show up and act together for a better future. If you wait for it, it won't come. But something else will.

The optimist vs pessimist divide in #climate debates isn’t usually about the data. It’s about how the same graphs are read, what people emphasise, what they discount, and how they interpret pace and stakes. Here’s what I mean 🧵👇

The head of a government is suing that government for $10bn and one really doesn’t know where to start. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Yes! Ännu en framgång för medborgare som stämmer staten för att inte skydda invånarna mot klimatförändringarna. Invånarna i den tidigare Nederländska kolonin Bonaire har fått rätt i domstol i Haag. Regeringen måste nu ta fram en plan för hur ön ska skyddas www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/aJ...

Divergence is costly. As an example, National Farmers’ Union (NFU) said British oats used in cereals, snack bars, meatballs & veggie burgers could be rendered unsellable in the EU, because British farmers for the past five years have been allowed to use certain fungicides not yet approved by the EU

29 January 1936 | A French Jewish boy, Michel Ejzenberg, was born in Paris. He arrived at #Auschwitz on 26 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. He was murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

How should climate science and policy respond to a potential exceedance of 1.5°C? We provide our perspective on this in a new @Nature comment 🔗 nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00247-y led by Gaurav Ganti with Sabine Fuss, @joerirogelj.bsky.social, @setupelz.bsky.social & Keywan Riahi 1/

Pollution from "forever chemicals" will cost the EU half a trillion euro, according to a new official estimate And yet EU leaders and industry lobbyists will call for MORE deregulation of toxic substances Because that money will come out of your pocket, not theirs www.politico.eu/article/fore...

Idag friades kommunpolitikerna i Staffanstorp för grovt tjänstefel efter att de vägrat ta emot kvotflyktingar. Men Staffanstorps syn på flyktingar verkar utgöra ett undantag. En ny kartläggning visar att åtta av tio av de svarande kommunerna tycker att flyktingmottagning är positivt för kommunen.

Frank Vang-Jensen har all anledning att skratta hela vägen till banken, där han också råkar vara chef. Under 2024 drog Nordeas vd in närmare 42 miljoner kronor bara i grundlön. När det nu vankas aktieutdelning bland storbankerna väntas nytt miljardregn.

Herregud, Israel erkänner att de har dödat över 71 000 människor i Gaza. Och då räknas ändå inte de uppskattningsvis 10 000 som fortfarande ligger begravda under rasmassorna. Därtill uppåt 200 000 skadade. Och till detta levererar Sverige militär utrustning

It all comes back to the lies, disinfo, and spin. Today an opportunity to hear from leading scientist speaking clearly, Prof @michaelemann.bsky.social. I’ll be there at noon, with my sandwiches and cuppa, (in the comfy Danskos!). Strongly recommend you too shift your calendar for noon today.

> Om ingen tar ansvaret för att lägga till de medel som behövs kommer staten kunna fortsätta säga "stöd SKA sättas in" och låta som de har gjort sin del av saken genom lagstiftning och ändring av styrdokument. Så den som lever får se.

>Kommer kommunala och fristående huvudmän lägga skulden på staten och bara konstatera till kritiska föräldrar att det inte är deras fel att det inte finns pengar? Ingen kommer ta ansvar för att det inte finns pengar för att genomföra det som "man" ska. >

Lång, trälig tråd om vad jag tror att kommande förändringar kring stöd till elever i skolan kan få för konsekvenser om finansieringen bara blir en halv tumme.

Congress has the power to stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. Let’s use it.

Migrationspolisen fängslade Waels pappa och enda vårdgivare. Nu är sonen död – och pappan får inte säga farväl.

The professor was reinstated on February 12, 1969, and, on June 30, the Hearing Committee appointed to the case found that "there was nothing in the evidence (before them) to substantiate a general charge of racism." He was found not guilty of racism towards the six complainants.

One protestor, Coralee Hutchison, suffered head trauma during the confrontation with police. She was hospitalized and later died.

On this day in 1969. hundreds of students occupied the computer center at Sir George Williams University in Montreal to protest the racism of a professor & the admin. The action & police response influenced the 1970 Black Power Revolution in Trinidad & Tobago. anticolonialhistory.com/event/328/

Först kraschade Northvolt. Nu sänker sig mörkret även över stålbolaget Stegra. Enligt forskaren Ossi Pesämpää kunde kriserna inom den gröna industrin ha undvikits, men ingen ville lyssna.

A year later, we're hitting the streets again, stronger and more determined. For our families, our freedoms, and our futures. For science and for democracy. Rally with us to TAKE BACK SCIENCE! March 7th, 2026 in Washington DC standupforscience.net/march7 #takebackscience #standupforscience 🧵/3

About a year ago, we hit the streets in support of science. Much has changed since then. The assault on science and democracy hasn't stopped — the gloves were off then, and the knuckles are bloody now. We're facing a battle. At the same time, we've mobilized a powerful grassroots resistance. 🧵/1

29 January 1923 | A Pole, Konstanty Kolasinski, was born in Łódź. In #Auschwitz from 20 June 1940. No. 800 In 1943, he was transferred to Neuengamme concentration camp. He survived the war.

Today's @nytimes.com dialogue with Ross Douthat & Jay Bhattacharya is tough sledding. I wrote a book on how silent transmission made COVID harder to stop and drove misleading narratives. The interview continues to mislead as a means to seize more power. a 🧵 www.amazon.com/Asymptomatic...

Hey Fox News, Rupert Murdoch is the one with a "pro-climate change bias" (source: www.theguardian.com/environment/...)

No one is made safer by ICE snatching up our neighbors, our friends, or our colleagues.

Despite the Trumps administration's effort to end clean energy in the US, almost all new capacity in 2026 will be from renewables, the EIA finds.
