Det är fortfarande svårt att ta in att Sverige har en rasistisk lagstiftning som gör att barn utvisas och skiljs från sin familj den dagen de fyller arton, oavsett hur länge de har bott i landet. Att man ens kan komma på en sådan lag!

Arundhati Roy zeigte, wie Kulturleute zu reagieren haben, wenn die Berlinale sich doch nicht als „politisch“ versteht.

STUDY: “Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter.”

For all my fellow overthinking worriers out there. Choose a time and a place to worry, and until then put all your bodies in the worry box.
NEW: There's been another round of layoffs at the lab formerly known as NREL.
Weeks after scrubbing “renewable energy” from its name, the National Laboratory of the Rockies in Golden has cut 134 staffers.

This is sickening. For comparison, this is more than the Department of Energy spent for all solar power and wind power R&D for the whole country.
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”
Update from last week re: ongoing impacts from October's ex-typhoon Halong. "Bryan Fisher, director of the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management…said with the scale of destruction, the rebuilding effort will take years." #akwx #ExtremeEvents

Everybody's telling you to build community! And they're right, but not just bc it's good to be less lonely or bc you need a distraction from fascism. It is, in fact, how we win!

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.
A true tragedy. The BBC is covering it, too. www.bbc.com/news/article...
It’s worth saying again: this data proves that fossil fuel firms are actively sabotaging climate action and weakening government ambition.
A fossil fuel treaty is not merely an option, but the indispensable mechanism to hold these giants accountable.

We’ve made it easy to email your senators and demand they reject any DHS budget that puts more money into Trump’s deadly deportation machine. With a vote expected later this week, it’s extra important for your senators to hear from you right now.
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
Last week, we announced a plan to make child care universal. Today, applications are open for pre-K & 3-K. If your child is turning 3 or 4, apply now for the fall at: myschools.nyc

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

UN experts urge UK “to immediately guarantee appropriate healthcare for all hunger strikers, and engage in meaningful dialogue and action to address not only the claims of the protestors, but also … an end to the repression of Palestine activism.”

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others”
According to another observer, she was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy”
