Coordinated disinformation efforts, harassment campaigns, strategic lawsuits, and personal assaults now accompany research in politically contentious fields.

Pedro Sánchez, beliebtester Politiker in Europa, Spaniens Ministerpräsident Er am Bild, im Anzug, helles Hemd, dunkle Krawatte , er lächelt, kurzes Haar, dunkel, grau meliert

Egal, wie laut sie schreien, wie viele Lügen sie erfinden. Die Zeit der internat. Ultrarechten ist vorbei.
Und wir werden eine neue Ära des Fortschritts einleiten.
Wir werden aufbauen, was sie zu zerstören versucht haben, und der Welt zeigen, dass die Zukunft besser sein kann.” Pedro Sánchez 👏

"When I started writing about the climate crisis in the 1980s I was in my twenties, and I didn’t fully comprehend that there could be a force on this planet so steeped in greed & power that it would sacrifice the earth & its inhabitants for its own narrow interests. But there is, and it’s Big Oil."

Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

Putins Helfer Rücken Trump und sein Umfeld näher an Russland? Bedrohen Autokraten und Tech-Oligarchen die liberale Ordnung?

ZDF is now broadcasting the documentary I prepared with Johannes Hano and David Frum concerning the Russian influence operation targeting Musk, Thiel and other Silicon Valley South Africans, which was personally overseen and run by Vladimir Putin and was deemed hugely successful by the Russians.

Kash Patel was paid by Russian filmmaker with Kremlin ties, documents show Patel, Trump’s nominee to be FBI director, was paid $25,000 last year by a film company that has promoted anti-Western views advanced by the Kremlin, documents show.

The FBI reported to the Senate Judiciary Committee that Kash Patel had been successfully targeted in recruitment programs run by both the Russian and the Chinese intel services and that Kash had taken money from each. But then we knew this long ago, and the Senate GOP decided they didn't care

I don't know Pedro Sánchez that well, but from what i have seen from him so far is that he is likely the best President in the world that I have seen so far. While President trump is one of the worst ever in the world. trump is also complicit to the crimes of genocidal netanyahu.

Two Lessons from Hungary for 2026 and 2028 Unity and accountability.

“Rather than let a crowded field enable Orbán to retain power, parties stood down their candidate to maximize the vote behind Magyar and his Tisza party.” www.liberalcurrents.com/two-lessons-...

Q&A: America Is 'All In' on Climate, Planning Ahead to Move Past Trump, McCarthy Says Gina McCarthy was administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from 2013 to 2017 and is now Managing Co-Chair of the America Is All In coalition. In this feature interview, conducted during the annual Montréal Climate Summit April 16, she talks about how U.S. states, cities, and businesses are keeping up momentum on climate change while their national government behaves “in an untenable way”—and reveals that work is well under way on a “Project 2027” or “Project 2029” that may get the U.S. back on track. The Energy Mix: How much ground can you protect through America Is All In? And is there any way you can gain ground, given the current political climate in the United States? Gina McCarthy: Well, I would certainly readily admit that the climate in the United States is not good. We can all understand that, but the purpose of America Is All In, is to show that that there is strength in both our state- and city-level work, despite the federal government behaving in an untenable way. It doesn’t mean the rest of us follow that, and so we’re excited at America Is All In by showcasing to the world the fact that we...

More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.

Macaristan Başbakanı Péter Magyar bugün 18 ay sonra ilk kez Orbán'ın devlet televizyonuna çıktı:

"Bu yalan fabrikası Tisza hükümeti kurulduktan sonra sona erecek... Goebbels'in veya Kuzey Koreli diktatörün bile kıskanacağı 2010'dan beri burada olup bitenler devam edemez."

Magyar Beat Orbán at His Own Electoral Game

Hungarians made history on April 12 when they ousted Prime Minister Orbán and his Fidesz party after 16 years in government. GMF’s @veghzsuzsanna.bsky.social explains how the Tisza party’s strategy gives insights into how competitive autocracies can be defeated.

Die linken und liberalen Parteien sind größtenteils nicht zur Wahl angetreten, sondern haben explizit zur Wahl von Tisza aufgerufen, weil das die einzige Chance war, Orban loszuwerden. Das ist ihnen hoch anzurechnen und ein Grund mehr zu feiern.

The Trump Effect
is much worse
in the Epstein/Hormuz era.

Orbán got crushed
by the Hungarians.

Poilièvre got turfed
by the Canadians.

Dutton got thumped
by the Australians.

The Greenlanders
gave a majority to the social democrats.
#ETTD

Meanwhile they did not have a program. Like plans. Nothing at all about how Hungary is the poorest country in Europe right now, how out education system is worthless and out hospitals are in ruin. Orbán did not do an interview with a non-Fidesz affiliated media agency for a decade.

He swallowed the cat to catch the bird,
He swallowed the bird to catch the spider,
He swallowed the spider to catch the fly...

"It's her who's unacceptable" -- Trump in a new interview today attacked Italian Prime Minster Giorgia Meloni for criticizing his attacks on the Pope

Remember, if they're watching Fox News, they think: (a) war is going great, (b) economy is awesome and (c) the awful liberals & foreigners are getting what they deserve.

They're trapped in a nearly impenetrable epistemic bubble. Trump's approval rating has a mid 30s floor until that bubble pops.

A graphic with an icon of the sun, a wiggly line denoting natural cycles, and a volcano, with a title reading "WHY is climate changing?" created by me. Not fancy, as my graphic design skills lean to function over art!

Scientists who study climate don't automatically attribute all changes to human activity. Rather, we carefully investigate every possible natural factor that could explain the planet's warming.

Could these be the real culprits?

The evidence is in--and the answer is NO.

This thread explains! 🧵

Was ich gerade von einem Ungarn gelesen habe, dürfte vielen nicht bewusst sein, die sich fragen, warum man den Sieg von Tisza „so feiert“:
„Die Linken haben Magyar nicht gewählt, weil sie ihn für Links halten.
Sondern für Systemwechsel, damit sie überhaupt irgendwann in Zukunft Links wählen können“

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.
