Ein Kompromiss mit den anderen demokratischen Parteien wäre möglich gewesen. Während Merz in Belém den Klimakanzler gibt, attackieren die Konservativen in Brüssel offen den Green Deal und schrecken dabei auch nicht mehr vor der Zusammenarbeit mit den Rechtsextremen zurück.

Eine exklusive Forsa-Umfrage für Table.Briefings zeigt: Auch unter CDU/CSU- und SPD-Wählern fordern viele mehr #Klimaschutz. Und selbst in der wirtschaftlich schwierigen Lage soll das deutsche Klimaziel nicht aufgeweicht werden, so die Befragten. 1/3

Auf Deutschland sei Verlass, so Merz auf der Klimakonferenz, als er die Zahlen der Vorgängerregierung präsentierte, um zu kaschieren, dass unter ihm das Klimaziel längstens abgeräumt und durch die in die üblichen Wortstanzen gegossenen Selbstlügen der Herrschaft fossiler Zombies ersetzt worden ist.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

Where America stands, one year after the election.

A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet.

Escalation, Authoritarian “Normalization,” or a Democratic Turnaround?

As world leaders prepare to meet for #COP30, new data from Urgewald's Global Oil & Gas Exit List shows EP Group’s subsidiaries are leading 🇪🇺's gas in power expansion plans and derailing its ability to meet climate targets.

we were all wrong, climate change is good for the economy

Many things are changing before our eyes. Others are harder to see

Like the US economy

Americans are spending more 💲 recovering from disasters and preparing for the next one. 36% of US GDP growth since 2000 is related to climate disasters.

So the main culture war in Germany, fought by the country’s leader, is that despite mass deportations there are still too many non-white men in German cities: which needs to change so that white German daughters can feel safer. That’s an actual position that he is taking. An incitement to violence.

throwback to when a Swiss physicist who thinks he is qualified to comment on anything and everything said months ago that the US populace is fundamentally ineffective in organising protest, so much worse than - say - in Turkey at doing so and that there won't be anything coming 🤷
Now that #NoKings 2.0 is behind us, here's a quick 🧵 into the data we collected in DC on Saturday to start thinking about what the day-of-action can tell us about this wave of Resistance to Trump2.0 and its policies. The day turned out millions across the US in over 2700 locations across the US:

Merz: Ausländer raus.
Dobrindt: Das hat er so nicht gemeint.
Spahn: Scheiß Ausländer raus.
Zeitung: Umstrittene Aussage, was hat er wohl gemeint?
Merz: Es kam zu Missverständnissen. Ich wurde falsch verstanden. Daher nochmal: Ausländer raus.
