We have continued to track Israeli military conduct since the ceasefire came into effect on 19 January. Our analysis confirmed 16 attacks on civilians and multiple incidents in which urban and civilian infrastructure was destroyed between 19 January and 9 February. tinyurl.com/FA-ceasefire...

Sozialdemokrat:innen und Grüne, deren Herz links schlägt, sollten dieses Mal die Linke wählen. Innerhalb ihrer Parteien stärken sie so Positionen, die über die vorauseilende Anbiederung an die CDU hinausgehen. Und der AfD schadet eine Stimme am effektivsten, wenn sie der Linken über die 5% hilft.

In personal news... This week, I submitted my dissertation on #watertanks, #jerrycans, and all kinds of #battery uses, arguing to take seriously the urban-infrastructural significance of minor #storage arrangements. Really grateful to everyone who has been part of this! #Nairobi #PhD

I made a starter pack of Human Geography Journals, for those of you (like me) for whom BSKY is a nice help in keeping up with the literature. Feel free to tip for me any journals I may have missed.

Wenn man inzwischen schon "links" ist, wenn man die gleiche Meinung hat wie Holocaust-Überlebende, Angela Merkel, die Kirchen und zahlreiche CDU-Mitglieder, die aus Protest die Partei verlassen haben, dann weiß man, wie weit rechts die Spitze der CDU inzwischen gerückt ist.

Fascist Germany is making a comeback. Voting for the CDU now means voting for the AfD.
Und das war's mit der Brandmauer, die CDU hat jetzt ihr in Teilen rechtswidriges Gesetz mit Stimmen der AfD beschlossen. Friedrich Merz hat sein Versprechen gebrochen, nicht mit den Faschisten zusammenarbeiten. Wer Union wählt, kann jetzt auch die rechtsextreme AfD bekommen.
