So ist es. Sinn dieser leicht durchschaubaren Good-cop-bad-cop-Spielchen der Union ist es, zunächst mit maximal brutalen Forderungen zu kommen, um dann nur leicht abgemilderte Beschlüsse umzusetzen und sich dabei noch als Wohltäter zu präsentieren. www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

WM-Boykott? Das Bild von den USA wandelt sich
In einer Hamburger Fußballkneipe ist WM-Boykott Thema. In Grönland in der Gemeinde Sommerland in Schleswig-Holstein herrscht Trump-Misstrauen.

#US folks, please realize: you only need ~3.5% of the population to put an end to a regime on its way to authoritarianism. Not 90%, not 50%, not 35% – 3.5%. That's what history teaches and science says:

If there's anything true about #drugs exported to the #USA from #Venezuela, then that this – of course – was done by the #CIA:

"[...] involving Venezuelan military officials who were implicated in a CIA plot to smuggle cocaine into the United States [...]"

Wenn mich eins wirklich ankotzt, über alle politischen Grenzen hinweg, dann ist es Feigheit. Insbesondere Feigheit von Leuten mit Macht. Wer sich einer Wahl stellt und ein demokratisches Votum bekommt Menschen zu repräsentieren darf nie feig sein. Wir erleben leider ein Europa der Feigheit.

Dear CNN, the words you are missing to use are "abduction" instead of "capture" and "coup" instead of "removal".

This year:
- Bolsonaro went to prison
- Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested and is being tried
- Brazil and Belgium joined S. Africa's ICJ case on Israel's genocide
- Global green energy surpassed coal power
- Denmark passed a law against deepfakes

There are people still fighting to make the world better.

In 2025 there were 130 papers submitted to the publication board inside the @ec-euclid.bsky.social (up from 57 in 2024). 90 of them already on arXiv, the others from the last few weeks still in internal refereeing.

2026 will see #ESAEuclid Data Release 1.

Und viele andere Verschlechterungen.
Dazu Ankündigung, Wasserrahmenrichtlinie + FFH-Richtlinie zu überprüfen und zu ändern.
Nicht gut!
Aber: Renaturierungsgesetz + Abwasserrichtlinie wurden NICHT angefasst - unser Druck hat geholfen!

Bei den Verhandlungen im Parlament werden wir weiter kämpfen!

Earlier in 2025, I discussed with members of European Parliament how organized crime syndicates seem to have hijacked nation states to collusively deploy cognitive hybrid war tactics to undermine sovereignty, democracy, and potential accountability.
