Polish media report that a bus carrying fans of Rayo Vallecano for their away Conference League fixture against Poland's Jagiellonia Białystok was stopped on the S8 expressway last night. A group of masked men entered the bus and "brutally beat" the Spanish fans. www.wprost.pl/kraj/1219928...

Jak co miesiąc omawiam w OKO.press analizę klimatu przygotowaną przez @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social. Miniony listopad był trzecim najcieplejszym listopadem w historii pomiarów, a rok 2025 prawie na pewno będzie drugim lub trzecim najcieplejszym rokiem po latach 2023 i 2024. oko.press/na-zywo/na-z...

Reposting this [checks notes] a week after publication because I forget I'm even here on BlueSky...

Poland 🇵🇱 new president, Karol Nawrocki, was sworn in yesterday. His inaugural address was a scathing attack on the government, foretelling the political struggle in the next 2+ years until the general election in 2027 (if the current parliament lasts). Ever more interesting times ahead.

Tymczasem intensyfikuje się sabotaż wymierzony w pierwszy od prawie ćwierćwiecza nowy #parknarodowy w Polsce. #ParkNarodowyDolinaDolnejOdry #PNDDO Rzepa, a w niej niezawodny eks-minister Gróbarczyk:

After nearly eight hours of debate (which wasn't really a debate, but ok), Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk won the confidence vote he called after his candidate lost presidential election on June 1. 243 votes for, 210 against, no abstentions.

Polish PM Tusk is delivering an address to the parliament right now ahead of a confidence vote coming later this afternoon. Tusk called the confidence vote after his candidate Rafał Trzaskowski lost presidential election to opposition-backed Karol Nawrocki on June 1.

I keep forgetting I'm here :-) Anyway, yday's presidential vote put poll favorite Rafał Trzaskowski in extremely precarious position ahead of the run-off on June 1. RT only leads rival populist Karol Nawrocki by 360,000 votes. V strong result by the far right hints (even if only just) at Nawrocki.

Poland said last night it was sure last year's Warsaw mall fire was a Russian job. This morning, Polish foreign minister said he's shutting down the Russian consulate in Kraków.

Meanwhile, this is #precipitation anomaly in #Poland as of Feb 11 (as measured against 1991-2020 average). Data from @cmm.imgw.pl.

Na OKO.press mój nowy tekst - tym razem o kończących się w piątek konsultacjach społecznych Wód Polskich w sprawie tzw. planów urządzenia wód. Są to dokumenty przedziwnej treści. Szczegóły ➡️ oko.press/wody-polskie.... PS Jeszcze jest czas na wzięcie udziału w konsultacjach! Instrukcja w tekście.

Watching the event commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of #Auschwitz, I remembered how a similar event 20 years ago actually featured a speech from Vladimir Putin, who, unfazed by the circumstances, talked about how he's fighting (Chechen) terrorists.

Polish presidential election will take place on May 18, the parliament Speaker said today. The very likely run-off vote, which takes place if no candidate scoops 50%+1 vote in the first vote, will be on June 1.

Poland's PiS once again fielding a relative nobody for a president. They did that with Duda in 2015 and, surprise, surprise, Duda won, despite trailing so heavily in the polls at some point that media began speculating he might not even make it to the run-off vote.

Poland's Defense Minister breaks nearly 24-hour silence about an incident near PL-BY border in which a drunk soldier reportedly fired 90 rounds in the air and at a random car (no one was hurt). The soldier will face charges and will be expelled from the army, the minister said.

Razem z Reginą Skibińską napisaliśmy artykuł do OKO.press o wycince drzew i ogólnej dewastacji cennej przyrody - w tym w rezerwatach! - wzdłuż 170-km odcinka Bugu na granicy z Białorusią w ramach walki z migracją. oko.press/rzad-poswiec...

Using a special border security law that allows to circumvent standard regulations concerning the environment, the Polish government has been butchering habitats along the Bug River on the border with Belarus. The devastation is shocking. Pic by Małgorzata Klemens.

Niepotrzebna nam wojna, skoro sami ochoczy niszczymy nasz kraj. Nad granicznym Bugiem trwa masowa dewastacja przyrody. Między innymi ogołocono z drzew otoczenie kościoła w Krzyczewie. Na zdjęciach (odpowiednio Google Maps i Towarzystwo Krajoznawcze Krakobraz) stan przed i po.

Surely 2024 ain't 2015 but back then at some point, an important point of the media coverage of the presidential race was whether Bronisław Komorowski would sweep it in the first round already. Duda was largely a laughing stock.

PiS: #Trzaskowski to działacz skrajnie lewicowy. #Razemki tego świata: ociebaton.

Surprise, surprise, ale w nadleśnictwie Miękinia osiągnięto porozumienie. I nie wiadomo czy dzięki czy mimo tekstowi 🥸

Razem z @strzalkowski.bsky.social wysmażyłem (ok, głównie Patryk, ja dołożyłem niewielką część) długaśny artykuł o tym, jak w poszczególnych regionach Polski idą rozmowy ws. lasów społecznych. Ogólnie dość opornie... oko.press/od-nadziei-d...

Poland’s election watchdog PKW dismissed today the 2023 financial report of Law and Justice (PiS), the now-opposition party that ruled in 2015-2023 until losing power to the incumbent coalition under PM Tusk. The decision means PiS might lose 70+ million zloty in financing in the next 3 years.

Poland has given Ukraine military equipment worth an estimated 3.2 billion euros, Polish news agency PAP reported today. stooq.pl/n/?f=1647548

Is this a legit tool, anybody? I've a fairly well curated list of who I follow on X and would be nice to replicate it here as well as possible. github.com/kawamataryo/...

Even tho this website seems to be void of all crap that has permeated X, I find it strangely difficult to simply post stuff here 🧐.

I went to the Kampinoski National Park Tuesday to help build a small dam on one of the park’s numerous canals that drain it of water, worsening the water balance. Six hours of digging up dirt, putting it in sacks, and covering it all with dirt again. Pix: before, during, and (nearly) after work.
