🚨 New working paper! We show that women in France emit 26% less CO₂ than men from food & transport.

🥗Food + 🚗 Transport =50% of individual carbon footprint — we show this isn’t just about biology or labor market differences.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Voici la liste des mots interdits - ce qui permet de prendre la mesure de l'idéologie fascisante au pouvoir aux USA

You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

New from me: Musk and his allies seem to be doing another thing common with tech startups in their government takeover--hiring very young technical talent. We identified several those young people who appear to have very high access.

This is how the heist works:

1/ Get your hand on all Treasury payments data. Spend months identifying choke points, payments that indirectly benefit opponents.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

L'opposition démocrate et les grands médias sont tétanisés par le "blitzkrieg sur l'état de droit" mené par Trump, qui mitraille dans toutes les directions.

La question du niveau de vie des retraités est très présente ces temps ci et de manière trop caricaturale pour être pertinente: "on a trouvé un groupe privilégiés, les boomers, ils vivent mieux que les actifs, il faut agir, sauf sur lesplusmodestes" #engros

ça vaut le coup de déplier la question

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Comme d'habitude excellente vidéo de @philoxime.bsky.social à laquelle j'adhère. Pourtant d'un naturel pessimiste j'ai arrêté de l'être sur les questions environnementales notamment pour les raisons exprimées ici 1/3 youtu.be/Bdo-vvlm6y0?...

Nouvelle vidéo : Parce que nous ne nous déplacerons pas en 2050 comme aujourd'hui, je vous propose de partir explorer le scénario d'un futur possible !
