Die AfD hat im brandenburgischen Landtag beantragt, die Streichung der Förderung für das Potsdamer Institut für Klimafolgenforschung @pik-potsdam.bsky.social durchzusetzen.

Der Landtag folgt diesem mit großer Mehrheit nicht, aber: Sie fahren 1:1 den Trump-Kurs.

It was never about free speech.

It was always about protecting whiteness and its discursive power. If it were about speech, they wouldn’t ban the 1619 Project, books, and history itself, or punish those who remind us of the bigotry Charlie Kirk proudly espoused.

Some of us been tryna tell y’all.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

From SIX years ago… insane that so many on the “center left” still don’t get the point. There is now so much solid empirical research available too.

Why copying the populist right isn’t going to save the left

The long read: Social democratic parties have been losing ground for more than two decades – but pandering to rightwing anxieties about immigration is not the solution

We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted. It's going to be truly wild to operate in a world where quite literally no one knows for sure what is happening, where there is no fact of the matter.

Macht was Ihr wollt, aber denkt dran. Die Klimakrise zu ignorien ist sehr viel teurer als etwas dagegen zu unternehmen. Natürlich ist es unbequem, auf Megakonsum zu verzichten, aber irgendwann geht uns so der Reichtum aus wegen Schäden und ständiger nachträglicher Adaption, die dann nie reicht.

Reporter: Are you going to deport Elon Musk?

Trump: We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn’t that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.

Bei extremer Hitze forschen, lehren, studieren …? Viele dt. Hochschulen haben bislang keinen Plan, der heiße Tage erträglicher macht. Spoiler: „Viel trinken, morgens lüften, luftige Kleidung“ ist noch kein taugliches Hitzekonzept! Dabei ließe sich mehr tun. Konkrete Vorschläge in #ArbeitInDerWiss!

Zu heiß zum Denken: Deutsche Hochschulen brauchen Hitzekonzepte!

Wie sollten Hochschulen auf die extremen Temperaturen reagieren? Hier sind drei konkrete Ansatzpunkte!
