In a new article in the Journal of Peasant Studies, I discuss how Criollo smallholders have dealt with large-scale land deals in the Paraguayan Chaco. The upshot: they are doing all they can, but in the face of immense power imbalances, that is often still not enough. See doi.org/10.1080/0306...

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left at even higher rates.

Was wir von einer neuen unionsgeführten Regierung erwarten: die Rückkehr zum konstruktiven Dialog. 👉 Als künftiger Kanzler trägt Friedrich Merz Verantwortung für alle Menschen in diesem Land. Klima- & Naturschutz sind dabei keine Randthemen, sondern ein Kitt, der unsere Gesellschaft zusammenhält 🧵

In Krisenzeiten klagte die Merz-CDU auf das Einhalten der Schuldenbremse anstatt sie gemeinschaftlich zu reformieren. Ein Tag nach der Wahl: Merz will jetzt mit SPD & Grüne über Reform reden, noch im Bundestag mit alten Verhältnissen. Perfide ohne Ende und natürlich müssen SPD & Grüne da mitgehen.

… aber es ist leider schon so, dass wir schleunigst aus den fossilen Energien aussteigen müssen um eine weltweite Katastrophe zu verhindern und die Parisziele einzuhalten, die der Bundestag einstimmig gebilligt hat. Auch die Union! (Quelle: Weltklimarat #IPCC) www.de-ipcc.de/392.php

100.000 in Berlin. 80.000 in Hamburg. 45.000 in Stuttgart. 35.000 in Essen. Viele Zehntausende in anderen Dörfern und Städten. Was für ein Zeichen und kein einziges Wort von der Merz-CDU, FDP und sowieso nicht der AfD. Aber wehe ein paar tausend Bauern fahren mit Traktoren herum.

Heute haben alle verloren. So würde ein Kanzler Merz auch auf Deutschland wirken. Alle würden verlieren. Könnten wir über Themen reden in diesem Wahlkampf, bei denen alle gewinnen? Infrastruktur? Wohnungsmarkt? Forschung? Bildung?

Es gibt übrigens auch noch andere Themen, liebe Parteien: die wachsende Kluft zwischen Arm & Reich, Kinder in Armut, prekäre Arbeit, ein kaputter Wohnungsmarkt, ein kränkelndes Gesundheitssystem, marode Schulen, eine desolate Bahn, der Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien, nur um mal ein paar zu nennen.

Steller's sea cows were utterly enormous - reaching up to 9 metres long. This skeleton in Paris dwarfs the dugong and manatee skeleton below it, and they are pretty big beasts themselves. Just 27 years after they were first encountered by Europeans in 1741, they were hunted to #extinction.
