Seems like plainclothed agents who obscure their faces, roaming the streets, and kidnapping a student who is there on a valid visa without a warrant, in broad daylight, is a sign of how things are escalating in the US.
Video of masked ICE agents surrounding and detaining Rumeysa Ozturk, Tufts PhD student and worker, has now been shared on IG. Please take action against this absurdity!

Watching the US slide into autocracy feels eerily familiar — like re-living the early years of Orbánism (only more intense, honestly).

I wrote down some reflections from that period. It won’t make you feel better. But it might make the stakes clearer.

By me: the Trump administration has pulled the US, the biggest historical emitter of greenhouse gases, from the Loss and Damage fund - the agreement under which developed nations pledged to partly compensate developing countries for irreversible climate harms www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

English followers: If you’re curious why the new US government is composed of authoritarians, anti-vaccinationists, and libertarians who spread conspiracy theories—and how this relates to late-modern individualization—then this book might be of interest to you.

Wow! Paris entsiegelt gerade den Rathausplatz & pflanzt auf 2000qm 90 Bäume, um das Mikroklima um 4 Grad zu senken. Die Bäume sind bereits ca. 7m hoch, um sofort Schatten zu spenden. Es ist der 3. Stadtwald den Hidalgo einweihen wird. So schön zu sehen, wie Paris die lebenswerte Stadt vorantreibt❤️
