A referendum for a new development model
To clarify its own stance and unite its ranks, the left must propose a referendum to adopt a national solidarity tax targeting billionaires and centimillionaires

For those keeping score that's 5 more than the number of people arrested for raping kids with epstein.

The US Justice Department made an illegal deal with President Donald Trump to immunize him, his family and his businesses from audits or other federal probes related to past filings, a group of tax experts and former IRS officials told a judge https://t.co/xezlNQrMLa

Europe’s approach to Donald Trump has long been appeasement—but it doesn’t work, Robert Kagan argues: “Whatever you did for Trump yesterday is forgotten today." https://t.co/iOXH11EQgc

The U.K.’s latest unpopular Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has resigned. Starmer lasted slightly less than two years in the job; longer than some, shorter than others on the list of the seven most recent British Prime Ministers, all of whom have failed to serve a full term in office with a majority in the House of Commons. Tony Blair was the last British leader to do that, more than 20 years ago.

“For the past decade, the British economy has flatlined, while its population has become older, sicker, and no more productive,” Sam Knight writes. “Brexit permanently diminished the U.K.’s position in international affairs, and the country has yet to find a comfortable home either outside of or reattached, in some fashion, to the E.U. No one likes any of this. The bond markets hate it. The public is fed up. The Prime Minister is blamed.” Read about Starmer’s resignation and how the role of Prime Minister has become “terribly constrained”: https://t.co/m05R3rL9ae

Powyżej fikcyjna prognoza pogody na 18 sierpnia 2050 roku wyemitowana przez francuską telewizję w roku 2014, co miało przestrzec przed fatalnymi skutkami globalnego ocieplenia.

Poniżej prognoza pogody na 22 czerwca 2026 roku.

Absolutely astonishing: 122 all-time high station records in France, 332 June monthly records... more to come in the next three days. Climate is being rewritten this week.

The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.

Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.

Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”

It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.

End Citizens United.

In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.

To the capitalist, price-setting is a sacred privilege. A higher interest rate protects their income streams from the inflation they're causing. All they care about is control and reproduction of the social order of suffering and sacrifice. So primitive. The concepts and mathematical modelling they use are hokum.

Can't free markets fix all problems more efficiently?

If we removed the explicit and implicit subsidies (around 7-8 trillion US Dollars a year) for fossil fuels, we'd keep global temperatures below 2 degrees plus (says the IMF).We might even save some corals. We're still funding the destruction of paradise.

We’re going to need a total reset of the media ecosystem. We need laws preventing billionaires from deliberately poisoning people’s minds for their own benefit. The press is the only occupation mentioned in the Constitution for a very good reason.

I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.

Ich teile die Aussagen des Professors:
aktuell befindet sich die Menschheit auf einem Emissionspfad von ~40Gt CO2/Jahr, der im Jahr 2100 zu einer globalen Temperaturerhöhung von ~4°C führen wird.
Das ist Fakt.
Das ist Physik.
Daran wird die Menschheit zerbrechen.
-> Massensterben

I’ve just arrived in London where a severe heatwave is projected with all its dramatic consequences

It's become increasingly evident that climate change is no longer a distant threat. We feel its effects now.

My message at London #ClimateAction Week: More than ever we must accelerate the transition to clean energy.
