A few things that I learned by advising & training Dutch nonprofits and activist on resilience against #onlinehate that might be useful in other contexts.

"Fascists strive impotently for a bigness the shrunken aspirations of their soul can never reach. Fascism is the banal dream of tiny men and deserves its place in the sewage of history."

Good @mattpolprof.bsky.social on fascism's hatred of left, relevant now:

Why Fascists Always Come for the Socialists First
Contrary to right-wing myths that the "Nazis were socialist," fascists despise socialism and want to destroy it. Here's why the left poses such a threat to them.

Another super mild night in GREENLAND.
After a max >+10C, The night Minimum at Narsarsuaq was +7.1C ,much higher than most of Europe.
and one of the warmest nights ever recorded in Greenland in January.

We will have 3 more freeze-free nights in some stations:one whole week !
Another no-freezing night for several stations in GREENLAND

It's possible that some stations pass a whole week without ever dropping below freezing.
That's crazy for January,when the no-freezing nights are rare and hardly ever more than 2 in a row.
Most of Europe is colder (minimums) these days..

Why is Donald Trump so interested in Venezuela's oil?

US is the world's biggest oil producer by a country mile - but that's light crude oil, meaning it is still totally dependent on trade to meet its demands for heavy oil. And that brings us to Venezuela

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Altijd Albert Camus (1913-1960), zeker nu het zijn sterfdatum is. Al zijn werk is de moeite waard. En “De mens in opstand” (1951) heeft 75 jaar na dato aan actualiteit niet ingeboet, nu autoritaire en tirannieke leiders de wereldpolitiek (weer) beheersen: wimberkelaar.com/2022/02/28/d...
“De opstand is de eigenlijke impuls van het leven”. Een lezing over Albert Camus (1913-1960)

Rutte betting on Peter Thiel

"The contract took just 6 months to complete — 'one of the most expeditious in Nato’s history', according to the alliance - and will be operational in 30 days. Sylvia: 'The fact that it was procured in 6 months is insane by defence standards. It typically takes years'."

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

From repurposed footage filmed years ago in different parts of the world, to AI images and videos of Maduro's arrest, social media platforms like X, Instagram and TikTok were flooded with disinformation within minutes of America's assault on #Venezuela

Disinformation Floods Social Media After Nicolás Maduro's Capture
From seemingly AI-generated videos to the recirculation of old footage, TikTok, Instagram, and X did little to stop the onslaught of misleading posts in the wake of the US invasion of Venezuela.

Ik ben een repliek aan het schrijven op dit artikel. Ik vind dat we veel meer moeten praten over wat wel en niet werkt in de strijd tegen extreemrechts. Of campagnestrategie in het algemeen. Alleen dit opiniestuk van @saaf.bsky.social slaat op een aantal plekken de plank mis. Alvast een 🧵

Liberals who are now cheering Trump for bombing Caracas and abducting Maduro should realize that Greenland will be next. This is might-is-right imperialism plain and simple and if this remains uncontested (as is likely to happen) there will be no way to stop Trump and his fascist administration.

Na decennia lang abonnee van NRC te zijn geweest was de systematische bagger onder het mom van wetenschap in de columns van Hertzberger de belangrijkste reden om mijn abonnement op NRC te beëindigen. Zij gaat ook elke inhoudelijke discussie over stikstof uit de weg, een wetenschapper onwaardig

My wish for 2026 is that Europeans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in their own country as they are about them in the U.S. and that Americans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in the U.S. as Europeans are.
