Nagel of Bundesbank says ‘no cause for concern’ - ask Greenland, Somali’s, Minnesota and Canada about that. Get the gold back where it belongs - hugely symbolic - or it will just be leverage and eventually go the same way as Venezuela’s oil: trousered by Trump.
FORMER SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH TESTIFIES ON TRUMP INVESTIGATIONS Man in a dark blue suit and blue tie sits at a microphone and testifies before Congress.
Jack Smith: “Trump didn’t “question” the election. He ran a criminal scheme to overturn it. Pressure state officials to ignore real vote counts. Manufacture fake electors in 7 states. Coerce his VP to break his oath. Send a mob to the Capitol to stop certification…”

US Republican Congressman Don Bacon:
„There has been grave damage done with our European allies. It’s going to take the next president to spend a lot of time trying to fix the relationship. (…) Our allies in Europe don’t think we’re dependable and that’s a shame.

Inspiring story of how supporting local climate leaders is crucial. Climate denying fascist in charge? All is not lost! Because “75% of the [Paris] commitments that the US made … can be reached entirely without federal support”. Local action counts #ClimateCabinet
Truth hurts. Keep pressing the wound.
Not that it will learn much from me, but I turned off the Gmail AI on principle - thanks for the warning. All that CO2, all that dumbing down. All that power in the hands of people we cannot trust. Turn it off.
YES to this! @katharinehayhoe.com and Greta

Inequality must be tackled as there is sufficient in the world for all. But that needs radical change, not tinkering. Aditya Chakrabortty nails it in this article.
I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥
There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️
They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

Good lawfare. Also the Pakistani farmers aiming to sue RWE in Germany.
Looking for hope and inspiration? A good place to start is the past. I’d recommend this book for both.
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I do lots of reading and not short of options for what I could do. But a key one seems to be to talk about it (thanks to all who do so much of that already). I’ll try more of that too.
I fear that the UK government may come to realise that their attempts at appeasement were foolhardy. For a second time in history.
Very nice resource for evaluating rail travel. Type in your nearest EU rail hub and see how far you can get by train in a few hours. (Fun time exploring places you stop at en route to be added as you wish)
Many people who are concerned about climate change feel “isolated and alone” because they have no idea they are part of 80-89% of people across the world who want their governments to take climate action.
