Reality check. While the people in San Diego’s South Park neighborhood managed to force Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to withdraw, I want to focus your attention on how they look. Like soldiers invading their own country. That is why I use the term #Brownshirts, a reference to the violent Nazi thugs, roaming the streets in Germany in the 1920/30s. Some people say that's too harsh, I say I studied history for reasons

Rekordmonat für grünen Strom: Im Mai 2025 kamen 72,5 % des deutschen Stroms aus erneuerbaren Quellen - ein neuer Höchstwert. Solar- und Windkraft lieferten zusammen allein 58 % der Energie, zeigt eine NDR Data-Auswertung.⚡

Seit Frühjahr 2023 stammt fast jeden Monat mehr als die Hälfte des Stroms aus erneuerbaren Quellen. Bis 2030 soll der Anteil auf 80 Prozent steigen. Nur der Februar 2025 fiel unter die 50-Prozent-Marke.🌱

How the little-known ‘dark roof’ lobby may be making US cities hotter
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/01/dark-roof-lobby?

I find this fascinating because literally everything, however obscure, that might make life slightly better - heat pumps, traffic control measures, masks and vaccines and now apparently cooling roofs - seems to immediately spawn a #misinformation lobby arguing for everyone's right to make the more damaging choice.

Europe should stop going to The Oval Office of humiliation.

Trump has nothing to offer the Ukraine strategy, except for ineffective Putin appeasement.

Listening to an incompetent blowhard is a waste of our time, and Trump should not be indulged, but ignored.

lawns aren’t just boring, they’re harmful. covering vast areas in grass that does nothing for pollinators or soil life is ecological nonsense. research shows that common lawn chemicals increase cancer risk, especially in dogs exposed to treated grass. we can still have grassy patches and parks, but this endless obsession with sterile, green perfection is costing us health, biodiversity and water. let’s grow wilder.
