Thank you for this interview with @TimothyDSnyder 🙏🏼 he provides context & clarity for scientists who are shell-shocked by today’s political realities in the USA and elsewhere.
In a new #ScienceEditorial, Science Editor-in-Chief H. Holden Thorp reflects on his discussion with @TimothyDSnyder, a professor at the University of Toronto who studies authoritarian movements in history.
Thorp was curious to know how Snyder would apply his lessons in resistance—usually discussed in the context of topics like immigration or the rule of law—to the scientific process and community. https://t.co/mvMM2retBt

Eine Studie im Auftrag des Wirtschaftsministeriums zeigt: Der Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien könnte die regionale Wertschöpfung verdoppeln!!!
Genau die Regionen, in denen sie bremsen will, würden enorm profitieren!https://t.co/JivUGoEAvb
Worth adding that Russia did as a matter of fact intervene for Trump in 2016 and that the evidence is widely known, abundant, and collected in various forms, including a Senate investigation, the Mueller report, multiple intelligence investigations, multiple reportorial investigations in the US and elsewhere, and multiple books. Leaving out that crucial fact allows the reader to miss the way this echoes prior authoritarian "investigate the investigator" moves as well as the fundamentally Orwellian character of this.

Vielleicht sollte sich die Frau Reiche mal in unserer kleinen Schweiz schlau machen, wozu Batteriespeicher gut sind.
Hier geht es langsam aber sicher voran, trotz der immerwährenden Gegnerschaft von Rechts. Setzt halt auch voraus, dass der Netzausbau Schritt halten kann. Da ist bei uns auch etwas im Tun. Gerade werden bei uns im Quartier neue Unterverteiler und Kabel verlegt, damit alle geplanten privaten PV-Anlagen einspeisen können.
(Meine kommt ab Anfang Juni aufs Dach, inkl. Speicher, natürlich. Förderung gibts ein bisschen was, aber nicht wirklich spürbar. Einspeisevergütung ist auch deutlich unter den Gestehungskosten - und trotzdem rechnet es sich für uns, Dank Speicher.)
Lösungen zu finden, hat viel mit Willen zu tun.

Was mag Gas-Katie am liebsten? Richtig. Gas. Was mag sie gar nicht? Batteriespeicher.
Aber dem Ministerium fehlten offenbar die Argumente. Also dachten sich Katies Mitarbeiter: Fragen wir doch mal bei den Profis nach.
Die Profis: EnBW und RWE. Beide wollen natürlich neue Gaskraftwerke bauen. Beide wurden aktiv vom Ministerium um Argumente gegen Batteriespeicher gebeten. ☝️
Nochmal zum Mitschreiben: Nicht die Gas-Anbieter haben von sich aus ihre Argumente ans Bundesministerium geschickt, NEIN, es war das Ministerium, dass proaktiv nachfragte.
Aber dann haben die vom Ministerium doch sicher auch die Batteriespeicher-Firmen um Argumente gebeten?
Nö. Kyon Energy wurde nicht gefragt. Eco Stor wurde nicht gefragt. Uniper und EWE dementieren ausdrücklich jeden Kontakt.
Wer nur eine Seite fragt, will keine Antwort. Er will eine Bestätigung.
Und der Hammer: EnBW hat erst nach Spiegel-Anfrage im Lobbyregister eingetragen, dass der Vorgang so passierte, wie er passierte – dazu verpflichtet wäre es schon Ende März gewesen.
Das gibt nur eine Ordnungswidrigkeit. Ein winziges Bußgeld von bis zu 50.000 Euro. Für einen Konzern, der Milliarden an Fördergeldern anstrebt.

Guten Morgen? Nicht in Deutschland!
Beggars belief. An American vice-President flying thousands of miles to endorse a corrupt, Hungarian far right leader who leaks all confidential European reports and intelligence to Putin.
I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.
The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders.
While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels.
And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.”
Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean.
You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.
The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
Congress is on recess.
This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.
The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen.
Not on Iran. Not on the tariffs crashing global markets. Not on the recession warnings. Bruce Springsteen.
There is a standard psychological tool called the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. It has 20 items scored on a scale from 0 to 40. The cutoff for a diagnosis of psychopathy is 30.  The average person scores around 4. The average maximum security prisoner scores 22.  A panel of eminent psychiatrists assessed Trump before his 2024 sentencing in New York. He scored 36 out of 40. 
The 25th Amendment exists precisely for this. Section 4 allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to carry out his duties.  It has never been used. In any normally functioning democracy, the bar would be far lower. Most leaders in that position resign themselves.
Instead, this one is on Truth Social at 7:58 AM calling a rock legend a dried-up prune.
America is fighting a war it cannot exit in Iran. Markets are in freefall. Allies are making alternative plans.
And the man with the nuclear codes is writing concert reviews.

How the USA is now supporting Russia. 1. Welcoming Russian MPs to the State Department. 2. Opening warm relations with Belarus. 3. Trump endorsing Orban, Putins poodle, in Hungary 4. Lifting all sanctions on Russian oil to fund their war in Ukraine. 5. Endorsing Russia’s peace plan to remove the Donbas. 6. Cancelling military aid to Ukraine. 7. Ignoring Russian support for Iran that threatens their OWN US troops. Trump ( Krasnov) , Gabbard and Vance are Russian assets. The UK and Europe must adjust to this reality. No intelligence sharing with the US. No fantasy about a Special Relationship. No use of UK or European bases for the US military. Cancellation of the Kings state visit. Cancellation of Palantir military contracts. Europe must unite against Trump’s Christian nationalist fascism.
