On my way to Gothenburg to discuss and examine Angelica Wågström's fantastic PhD work on "Careful Energy Transitions". A great contribution to #degrowth! The thesis can be downloaded via the link below research.chalmers.se/en/publicati...

Taking the fight to the right requires a renewed left "You can’t reach an accommodation with an ICE agent when he’s kneeling on your neck. Climate chaos does not come with a moderate option.

Vi uttrycker "vårt stöd för David och att vi står upp för ett demokratiskt samhälle utan polistrakasserier, godtyckliga polisförhör och gripanden. Vi ser med oro på en olycklig utveckling i samhället där rättsstaten inte längre ses som en självklarhet." www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/qPK...

Idag skriver jag i Publikt om vikten av att ta ställning och agera i avgörande frågor som klimat, hållbarhet och demokrati. Att inte agera i dessa frågor är också ett val - ett val för en destruktiv status quo och en väldigt mörk framtid. Vi behöver alla vara så modiga vi kan.

“Germany must support, not suppress, actions aiming to stop atrocity crimes and genocide. No circumstances can justify unnecessary and excessive police violence or unjust criminalisation for exercising fundamental freedoms.” Basically, Germany went rogue www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...
