Die Kämpfe um das Versicherungswesen sind im Klimakollaps einer der wichtigsten sozialpolitischen Schauplätze - Bisher hat die Linke das noch nicht erkannt, geschweige denn das Thema sexy gemacht..

Schäden durch Erderhitzung: Obligatorischer Schutz gegen Klimaschäden kommt bald
Naturkatastrophen werden immer zerstörerischer. Die Regierung will eine Pflichtversicherung gegen diese Gefahr. Die Versicherungsbranche lehnt das ab.

The widespread silence to the further Epstein Files is disgusting. Shame still hasn't changed sides.

Usually when things feel like there's a big plan, I'd insist on things being much more chaotic and unintentional than it seems. But here the plan *is* chaos. "Poking into a bee's hive" rather than "orchestrated"
I feel like we are purposely being pushed to the brink. He wants war in the streets, he wants to stop any elections. I’m seeing people seeking guns and training. Everyday the horrors against humans seem worse than the day before. I can’t help but feel that this is all orchestrated.

Epstein bragged about all the compromising material he has - lottery win for secret services. We do not yet start to comprehend how big this is and how much global politics is involved. QAnon was confession as accusation.

The UK government tried to hide a national security assessment stating "Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse (irreversible loss of function beyond repair)" - We need a fully operational "EcoLeaks" (started in Mendoza, Argentina some years ago)!

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This seems like a really sensible thing to do when the tech that’s transcribing all of your meeting records and processing your data is owned by companies in hostile authoritarian states. We should all do this.
France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

"Mohla to být hezká historka o rozšafném důchodci, který si na stará kolena pořídil glóbus a s úžasem teď zjišťuje, kde leží jaká země, kontinent nebo ostrov a kolik toho celý život nevěděl. Bohužel je to příběh o českém premiérovi" 😂😂

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Die kapitalistische Bearbeitung der Klimakrise gerät an Grenzen, wenn Risiken nicht mehr profitabel versicherbar sind.
Heißt: Entweder es werden zunehmend öffentliche Versicherungsmechanismen entwickelt (politisch wie ökonomisch ein Riesenfass), oder jede* ist bald auf sich allein gestellt.
3. Disaster Capitalism:

"Some of the world’s largest reinsurance companies boosted profitability this year after they reduced coverage to limit their risk from catastrophic events such as flooding and increased prices for their policies."
Reinsurers extend profit boom as they cut cover to cope with disasters
Broker Guy Carpenter says profitability increased 2 percentage points to 18% in 2025

Trump owned his billionaire donors something in return for their support. It is not about what they are telling us it is! Stay focused! It’s not what they say but, what they do!😡

Europe should get out of its deadlock: gather support in the Global South, Canada, Australia, China, ... and impose sanctions on the US!

This is the time for Europe to choose: independence or our own colonial moment. The first option could only mean int law and reason - which can be materialized only in some new Non-Alignment movement. We need Africa and Latin America.. and they will be watching carefully now. #FreeMaduro

There are many ways to sabotage Ukraine without openly and directly withdrawing support... Anyone got any good sources on the internal power struggle in the new CZ gov regarding Ukr? Not sure yet how real/strong it is
Czech banks are closing accounts and denying services to small arms manufacturers and related individuals because their business involves supplying weapons to Ukraine. Even relative say their personal accounts were shut, and some firms struggled to open accounts for pro‑Ukraine charities.

Trump hat Putin jetzt gezeigt wie man einen Regime-Change durchführt.

Als nächstes wird die rechtsextreme Friedensnobelpreisträgerin dort eingesetzt.

Dann kommt die Re-Privatisierung des Öls.

Dann die Kick-Backs an die Trump-Org.

The ability to ask these questions as if they weren‘t stupid & dishonest has been a key aim of both the new world-wide right-wing movement and of the Kremlin. They want us to think there‘s no truth, only opinion; no morality, only power; that all choices are morally equivalent, & only tribe matters.

Dopravní politika v Praze je naprosto šílená. Těžko se ti dýchat? To je prostě normální cesta do práce. Ještě pár okruhů a bude to v pořádku...

Bez drastického omezení aut se situace v Praze nikdy nezlepší
Doprava v Praze kolabuje, protože je v ní příliš mnoho aut. Vjezd do města je zdarma, parkování prakticky taky. Město dělá všechno pro to, aby v něm lidé měli auta a aby do něj auty jezdili.

Today, exactly 70 years ago, Rosa Parks made history by an act drawing it's dignity out of simplicity: a simple refusal.

For my Žižekian friends: one of the only clear successes of "Bartleby politics".. and of course it would have meant nothing without the immense work of movements
Heute im Jahr 1955 weigert sich Rosa Parks ihren Sitzplatz zu räumen.
