A US general just threatened Russia’s Kaliningrad & this is why that’s so significant — Ukrainian hackers wipe databases at Russia’s Gazprom in major cyberattack — Ukrainian forces ‘steadfastly’ holding defenses near Pokrovsk — Ukrainian artist’s Sculpture series normalizes injured bodies of Ukraine’s soldiers … and more

Hello everyone,
The initiative of this 23-year-old Master's student in QSE and CSR (Quality, Safety, Environment/Corporate Social Responsibility) who submitted a petition against the Duplomb Law on the National Assembly website is becoming an unexpected and remarkable mobilization phenomenon.
I signed within the first few hours, and the counter quickly surpassed 100,000 signatures and just last night crossed 300,000.

Media Matters for AmericaNational TV news largely failed to connect the record-breaking Eastern U.S. heat dome to climate changeA record-breaking heat dome scorched the United States in late June, setting or tying high-temperature records in more than 280 locations and placing more than 130 million people under extreme heat advisories and warnings. Cities across the East Coast and Midwest shattered all-time records, while dozens of others surpassed daily highs that had stood for more than a century. Simultaneously, the United Kingdom experienced its own heatwave, with scientists finding that global warming had made such an event up to 100 times more likely to occur.This United States' heat dome constituted a clear climate story, though national TV news largely failed to treat it as one. Climate change was rarely mentioned, despite the availability of robust attribution science showing that heat domes are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of Arctic warming and global emissions. Coverage also largely ignored the heat’s disproportionate toll on low-income families, outdoor workers, and medically vulnerable populations. And it offered no meaningful scrutiny of President Donald Trump’s ongoing rollbacks of climate and public health protections — specifically cutting funding and laying off staff for federally-funded hazardous heat programs, even as his administration's actions increase the public’s exposure to deadly heat.

Здається, варіант завжди знаходився на столі (на поверхні). Жодного примусу (насильства), остраху (що потрапиш не туди), тільки мотивовані (вибір захищати зроблено самостійно). А тепер, виграють ті підрозділи, які зрозуміють вигоду #war #mobilization #women

Very glad to see that the book "Media Capture in Africa and Latin America" – which includes a chapter on resistance to media capture in Uganda co-authored by Calle Höglund and I – has been nominated for the MeCCSA Outstanding Achievement Awards 2025, in the 'edited collection' category:

In America we’ll be paying the same income taxes as always PLUS price increases to cover trump’s tariffs.

In return we’ll receive fewer government services due to trump firings and illegally refusing to spend $$ directed by Congress to pay for those services.

All this pain is to give a few billionaires tax cuts, or because we elected an incompetent as president, or both!
