If you're a @drilledmedia.bsky.social listener you know I think social scientists are key sources if we want to understand why governments haven't acted on climate.

Student research out of the @climatedevlab.bsky.social has sparked legal backlash from anti-wind groups. With offshore wind construction already at risk, attacks from groups like these threaten the possibility of meeting local climate goals. See the full article below, and the newly released report.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

De asielwet is een frontale aanval op de mensenrechten. Op onze beschaving. Op medemenselijkheid.

Deze avond is het gevolg van het jarenlang ophitsen tegen mensen die vluchten voor oorlog en geweld.

De Tweede Kamer zit vol met ophitsers. En vol met mensen die te laf zijn daartegen op te staan.
