There's not going to be forgiveness this time. Nor mercy. Just justice as the Constitution intended. Scores of millions of Americans are never going to forget or forgive what's happening, and will demand severe punishment for it. These people are monsters.

We seem to have hit a nerve with this one and I'm completely blown away by the response. Close to 100,000 views in 24 hours for an academic paper on tabloid framing and the German heating law. I suspect it's because so many countries are watching the same playbook unfold at home.

NEW RESEARCH: One German tabloid coined one word. "Heizungshammer" spread to 1,100+ articles and helped to effectively kill Germany's heating law. We analysed 333 BILD articles to trace how tabloid framing became legislation. Out today, open access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There are 2 big stories in development happening in Africa @katemac.bsky.social (1) LEAPFROGGING: Africa is buying huge quantities of solar panels. Electricity access is accelerating growth (2) MAKING not just BUYING: some countries got FDI. Starting to capture value-added & jobs from manufacturing

Dave Jones@cleanpowerdave.bsky.social

There's 4 key countries which these cells+wafers are exported to: Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria. That's a LOT of manfacturing capacity that's come online in the last months. Some of the panels will be for export, but many will likely be used domestically.

BREAKING: Indigenous white people commit riot and arson. Incompetent indigenous white police fire water cannon. Indigenous white politicians who fucked up our economy discuss "legitimate concerns" in lying newspapers owned by indigenous white tax evaders. Immigrants somehow remain the problem.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

They'll then drag it to court, then to SCOTUS, who'll say the speaker has no obligation to swear in members suspected of election fraud or some similar bullshit. But Americans should still go vote, cause if they've to resort to this kind of shit, it'll FINALLY be a cautionary tale for the Europeans

(and it's hard for the GOP to loose because 30% to 40% of Americans think Trump is actually god sent, so basically, a third of Americans voters are clinically insane) they will say Dems cheated and will refuse to swear in the new members of Congress.

Epstein emails prove Norway's ex-PM Jagland was a middleman for Russia for at least 5 years while leading the Council of Europe. The picture is clear: Epstein helped Russia secure leverage over Trump. Trump is compromised, and Jagland is a traitor. Too few know about this:

"But what about China?" has been a throwaway comment made many times to justify inaction on climate change or criticise decarbonisation policies. Well China is now by far the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and user of clean energy technologies.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Venezuela opposition reports the so called "capture" of Maduro was a negotiated deal between Maduro and US for an agreed exit strategy. We reported in November that this would be the case. The US bombed Venezuelan service members as part of a death theatre. #VenezuelaInvasion

Two common fascism adjacent arguments: 1) Our democracy is flawed, imperfect, so our government and its laws are illegitimate, and we should all become lawless gangsters, anarchists. 2) Democracy is meaningless because voters are stupid / ignorant / easily duped, and many people choose to not vote.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I'm sure Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman can tell us how tough on migration Danish Social Democrats losing Copenhagen to an alliance of Greens and Socialists proves that Blue Labour was right

NEW: Trump has announced that the US will admit the lowest level of refugees ever at 7,500 in FY 2026. The US will only be admitting as refugees White people from South Africa and "victims of illegal or unjust discrimination," which leaked memos suggest means far-right Europeans.

Everyone hates the Democratic Party, but the wild thing is that every faction hates its own bespoke caricature of the party. The caricatures don't even line up! Everybody gets their own special Party of the Mind to hate, a repository for all their resentments & everything they think has gone wrong.

Behind all the shitshow clownery, bluster, racism, and fascist authoritarianism, this is what Trump is *really* all about: Allowing the super-rich to get even richer by trashing what's left of wild nature and a stable climate. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
