Electricity contributes to about 20-30 % of emissions in a wealthy economy. The largest emissions source in the EU is transport, running almost entirely on fossil fuels. Buildings, industry and land-use must also be mitigated entirely. bsky.app/profile/aarn...

Record rainfall on New Zealand's North Island and deadly landslides. Climate breakdown = more extreme rainfall events.

It’s hard to explain the sort of punk/DIY culture of Minneapolis and how deeply embedded the spirit of “we have a duty to take care of us” is just broadly accepted. Long roots too, as a labor movement, as communists and socialists, as the home of some powerful Indigenous and Black led resistance.

If there's any Australian spider that can stimulate robust discussion, it's this one - the Common White-tail Spider (Lampona cylindrata). Many believe the bite of this spider can become necrotic, but this is not backed by research #ausinverts #wildoz #arachnids #spiders #inaturalist #nature

256. The problem is not the number of people on Earth. It's what they consume - and how this intersects with ethnicity, gender and location. #TabClosed2026

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I published This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate in 2014. Lots of serious people explained that we didn't have time to tackle capitalism, climate was too important. Let the market fix it for us. The track record is 12 wasted years and a world on fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/c...

When a woman named Datâ wrote the equivalent of “per my last email” to her brother in the 8th century BCE, she was actually trying to tell him about someone’s death. “The lady Gagâ has died and your brother is troubled” oracc.museum.upenn.edu//saao/saa19/...

Actually “per my last email” was not unheard of in millennia-old cuneiform letters. A woman named Datâ in the 8th century BCE wrote to her brother, “Why have I not seen your messenger until this very day? Now, if you are alive, let me forgive the shortcomings of your character…”

Det som skulle vara över är inte över. I Rojava växer IS igen medan omvärlden scrollar vidare. Samma kurdiska styrkor som offrade över 10.000 liv för att stoppa terrorn attackeras nu på nytt, civila hotas och kvinnor och barn betalar det högsta priset. Rojava behöver skydd och stöd nu.

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

In Kenya, a group of women motorcycle riders known as the Boda Girls are helping bridge a crucial gap in maternal health care. Trained in basic maternal health and patient care, many are nurses or community health workers. Giving rides to clinics or primary care, they're saving lives. #GoodNews

"Being “Peaceful” and “Law-Abiding” Will Not Stop Authoritarianism: One of the central elements of the Nazi rise to power in Germany was the fact that the leaders of the Social Democrat parties participated in the crackdowns suppressing a series of uprisings."

Det här med att försvara S dragning åt höger med "vad som behövs för att bilda regering" är inte helt olikt retoriken högern använde för att rättfärdiga samarbete med fascister. Jag är ledsen men finns det inget som är viktigare än att bilda regering, bör du inte vara i en regering.

Skrev en text om Söderholms klimatförvillande argumentation i senaste Stormens Utveckling. Lite sur förvisso, men tycker det var befogat att reagera. Har man en stor plattform och många som lyssnar på en behöver man ta ansvar för vad man sprider.

Inget om detta i Studio Ett, inget i Ekot och hittills inget i USA-podden, där man nu istället hade ett mkt långt inslag om ”hur skulle det gå till för USA att köpa Grönland”. Inte ett ord om den lilla detaljen att det bor folk på Grönland. Och att de inte vill bli köpta!🫨

Inte en enda kommentar har jag hört i Sveriges Radio (som nu oavbrutet kommenterat Trumps tal sedan kl 16) om det här fullblodsrasistiska ”skämtet” om somalier. Alla bara pustar ut: ”han tänker iaf inte anfalla oss”😮‍💨.
