I hear from impeccable sources that the race for the next European Data Protection Supervisor is still almost a dead heat, and that a decision will now probably come after the conclusion of the Polish presidency of the EU. [1/3]

As we see the #authoritarian chaos unfolding in the #USA, I am wondering if all those people who have been campaigning for decades to undermine the #EU 's strict constitutional laws on #privacy and #DataProtection -- in the service of enabling virtually unrestrained transfers of Europeans' personal data to King #Donald 's junta to continue -- have any regrets 🧐

Fünf Jahre nach Pandemiebeginn zieht die Gesellschaft für Virologie Bilanz: Sie warnt vor politisch motivierter Verzerrung wissenschaftlicher Fakten und betont, dass differenzierte Aufarbeitung notwendig sei. Zentrale Begriffe wie CFR und IFR wurden oft verwechselt, was zu Missverständnissen über die Gefährlichkeit von COVID-19 führte. Früh kritisierte Modellierungen waren weitgehend zutreffend. Die GfV fordert faktenbasierte Bewertung und klare Kommunikation. Vorsicht: Dieser Text ist nicht ganz einfach zu lesen!

Cleaned up/rewrote one of the pieces from yesterday; with links:
As the Trump regime’s climate nihilism takes hold, the rest of the ruling establishment is admitting the future they see is climate imperialism and genocide.
https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2025/05/12/nina-bytes-fascism-and-climate-imperialism/
"After years of study, I’ve concluded that the only plausible explanation for the ruling class and political actors consistently doing absolutely nothing about climate crisis and fossil fuel dependency while simultaneously hardening borders, curtailing civil rights, and building out massive police states hell bent on squashing protestors, is because they intend to take humanity – and the biosphere that supports more than eight billion of our lives – right off the ecological cliff, and they know the folks doing the dying are going to oppose that.
As we crash through climate objectives and rocket towards an environmental apocalypse in the middle of a mass extinction event however, it turns out that banks and government-aligned advisory bodies are more or less starting to admit this genocidal bullshit is the actual plan, out loud."

Throughout my writing about fascism, capitalism, and climate catastrophe, I've worked pretty hard to focus attention on what I consider the most fundamentally important and horrifying reality of our time. That being that no matter how hard it may be for us to accept, the billionaire ruling class in the Pig Empire, and the governments they own, fully intend to kill billions of people to keep extracting capital on a boiling planet in the face of a climate apocalypse. Furthermore, given that democratic societies full of people who probably don't want to die so billionaires can keep doing capitalism as the planet turns to ash are highly unlikely to continue facilitating that behavior, this same ruling class is busy transforming our nations into fascist police states to facilitate that outcome.
Naturally, that sounds like a conspiracy theory to people who wouldn't want to believe it anyway even if they knew it was true, so until folks watched Elon Musk literally buy Trump's way to the White House this past fall, this idea was pretty hard to communicate to my readers; although I certainly kept trying. In my opinion, the evidence has been all around us for years now; from the funding behind fascist movements and political parties in the Pig empire, to the capitalist control of supposedly "liberal democratic" governments across the "West" that continue to facilitate the mass extraction of fossil fuels we cannot burn without murdering potentially billions of people, while professing to care about climate crisis. As far as I'm concerned the only plausible explanation for the ruling class and political actors to do absolutely nothing about climate crisis and fossil fuel dependency while simultaneously hardening borders, curtailing civil rights, and building out massive police states hell bent on squashing protestors, is because they intend to take humanity and a biosphere that supports 8B+ human lives right off the ecological cliff, and they know the folks doing the dying are probably going to try and oppose that.
As we crash through climate objectives and rocket towards an environmental apocalypses in the middle of a mass extinction event however, it turns out that banks and government bodies are more or less starting to admit this genocidal bullshit is the actual plan, out loud. As this April 8th article from Kate Aronoff writing for The New Republic demonstrates, portions of the banking sector and highly-respected bipartisan think tanks are now openly arguing climate targets are a joke and it's time for a new phase of aggressive climate imperialism as the planet descends into a warming-induced apocalypse because nothing, not even the end of the world, can get in the way of churning profits to enrich a ruling class that already owns everything around us.
The Bleak, Defeatist Rise of “Climate Realism”
"The brand of climate cynicism being voiced by the Council on Foreign Relations is more novel. In an essay outlining the founding principles of the Climate Realism Initiative, Varun Sivarum—the program’s director and a former top aide to Biden-era U.S. climate envoy John Kerry—describes a zero-sum, catastrophically climate-changed world where “other countries will single-mindedly prioritize their own interests” and the United States should do the same. Facing climate-fueled mass migration “of at least hundreds of millions of climate refugees [that] could upend the international order, and increasingly grisly natural disasters,” the U.S. “should provide the support it can, cooperate with countries on building resilience capabilities, and protect its borders,” as well as “prepare for global competition for resources and military positioning that is intensifying in the melting Arctic.”
Look folks, this isn't a partisan political question of which party is better, or worse, on the issue of climate crisis; this is about a billionaire donor class that controls policy and politicians in both parties, and why that reality means we were always speeding towards a hydra-headed crisis of capitalism, climate catastrophe, and fascist authoritarianism as the awful reality that nobody "in charge" is going to stop a crisis that will kill billions from happening, set in. The Trump regime certainly represents an acceleration of the process towards climate apocalypse, but it is also the product of that very same process; we are here because rich people mean to kill us all to keep getting richer, and fascism is how you create societies where that is possible. Not just because fascist ideology allows the construction of vast police states, but because the very same "us and them" hate-fueled logic that drives fascist movements to power, is also an absolute necessity for a climate imperialism political paradigm on a boiling planet with diminishing resources.

“Climate Realism”
It's pastime more people raised their heads, the Council on Foreign Relations (#CFR)—the think tank of the U.S. political establishment, just published a new statement calling for what they call “Climate Realism.” This is a slick repackaging of old imperial dogmas for a world that’s catching fire.
