Die neue Grundsicherung sichert nicht mal mehr eine warme Wohnung. Und dennoch wird sie die Arbeitslosigkeit kaum reduzieren. Umso wahrscheinlicher folgen daher noch weitere Angriffe auf die Ärmsten in der Zukunft.

Minskade anslag från regeringen gör att Arbetsdomstolen tvingas ställa in alla mål som inte är brådskande under de kommande månaderna. Ett besked som får allvarliga konsekvenser, menar Erik Grahn, forskare i civilrätt.
Domstolen tvingas ställa in mål – saknar pengar
Regeringen drar åt svångremmen – underskott både 2025 och 2026.

Ledaren för ett potentiellt vågmästarparti har hastigt avgått på grund av hat och hot. Det kan få stora konsekvenser. Demokratin pressas. Nog är det rimligt att vi får veta vilka krafter som drev henne till beslutet?

German study shows how far right sets agenda thanks to mainstream parties reshaping their communications to respond to what are initially fringe issues, boosting the spread of these ideas and signalling to voters that these ideas and stances were legitimate

Europe is increasingly facing climate-related hazards. Extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall, and droughts threaten human health, ecosystems, and create substantial economic losses.

Private corporations have the power to de facto censor content with no accountability, a fact that leaves trans and queer creators in a precarious spot.

Historisk satsning med 4,3 nya miljarder till skolan? Nja, ni såg väl diagrammet? Jag ritade in stödlinjer för att vi ska kunna se. Vän av ordning frågar sig säkert:

Hur kan det där bli 4,3 miljarder? Det ser ju mera ut som i bästa fall en och en halv miljard?

Jedes Wort ein Volltreffer. Jeder Gedanke präziser als die hunderttausenden Zeitungsartikel über die typischen deutsche „politischen“ Standarddebatten. Ein Debakel, dass nur noch die Kunst klare Gedanken hinbekommt – und nicht mehr die „politischen“ Beobachter.

Idag skriver @elisabethlindberg.bsky.social & @danielsuhonen.bsky.social hos @di.se om att förhandlingar om en ny energipolitik inte bara får handla om kärnkraft.

I was shocked when I first saw these results from standard climate models used in IPCC reports: for high emissions, the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC shuts down in all 9 models that ran past 2100, and is well on the way to shutdown by 2100.
Our paper on that is out today.🧵

On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines.

I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.

Low interest rates after 2008 failed to achieve any real growth or increase in living standards in the UK.

If we stopped obsessing over rates, we might see how the resources are distributed – and how it's this that's holding our economy back, not monetary policy.
