Viel Spaß mit der Demokratie in der Apokalypse
"Zu lange hat die Umweltpolitik die Konjunktur gebremst – was letztlich auch demokratieschädigend ist. Wer die Demokratie in Deutschland beschädigen, wenn nicht gar zerstören will, muss das genau so weitermachen.“

Keine Ahnung, warum die Stimmung so mies ist. Ob's daran liegt, dass bei uns der Fachbereich Sozialwissenschaften aufgelöst wird? Oder an den vielen Kürzungen? Puh, keine Ahnung.

Ich weine der deutschen Autoindustrie keine Träne nach. Aber dass die Konservativen ihre Zerstörung auf höchster Ebene feiern, überrascht mich doch.

Moscow welcomes White House document critical of the EU as talks to end the Ukraine war enter a key phase
The Kremlin has heaped praise on Donald Trump’s latest national security strategy, calling it an encouraging change of policy that largely aligns with Russian thinking.
The remarks follow the publication of a White House document on Friday that criticises the EU and says Europe is at risk of “civilisational erasure”, while making clear the US is keen to establish better relations with Russia. Continue reading...

Indiana isn't as big as Texas or Florida, so it rarely gets the same attention nationally. But it's worth keeping an eye on what Indiana is doing, because the GOP has long exploited the state's under-the-radar status as a proving ground for new efforts and policies.
Indiana state house Republicans just approved a new 9-0 gerrymandered map ousting two US House Democrats, giving Republicans 100% of seats in state where Trump got 58% of vote

Stop fossil fuels now
Let's think about fossil fuel power plants for a moment. For example Neurath power plant in the west of Germany. In 2019 it was the second biggest single emitter of CO2 in the whole European Union as well as the 102nd one world wide.

Ja: Alle, deren Verträge an der Uni Leipzig in den nächsten zwei Jahren auslaufen, sind raus. Die Lehre soll über Lehraufträge abgedeckt werden. Sachmittel werden gekürzt. Zudem sollen alleine an der Phil Fak 4 Professuren und 11 Mitarbeiterstellen abgebaut werden. Grund sind sinkende Zuweisungen.
An der Uni Leipzig werden nach meinen Infos in 2026 keine (!) Mittelbau-Stellen verlängert oder neu besetzt.
Das hängt natürlich auch an der Landesregierung.
