When Trump said he'll "be a dictator on day 1", believe him. It's not the responsibility of the voter to clarify the motivations of a president. It's the president's responsibility to clearly define their roadmap for leadership. Trump has made his intentions clear. Listen to him.

When a dictator speaks...listen.

Yesterday 44 of the world’s leading climate scientists wrote an open letter about collapse of the Atlantic Ocean’s circulation (AMOC) When I interviewed one of them about the consequences of AMOC reaching a tipping point he could barely keep it together. 🧵

44 experts from 15 countries issued a stark warning about the dangers of crossing an ocean circulation tipping point, in an open letter to the Nordic Council of Ministers. I had the honor to present it to the Icelandic 🇮🇸 climate minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson yesterday. #AMOC

WADA again seems to be a toothless tiger with people in top positions who often act like puppets on the string of interested parties who pay them (like IOC). Poor PR (e.g. childish Play True Day 😉) cannot mask the fundamental structural deficiencies. Worthwhile to read this:

The alleged Chinese #doping scheme uncovered this week-end is a strong reminder of the large gap between global norms & local enforcement in #antidoping. #WADA talks a lot about a global level playing field, but in practice is largely incapable to secure it. 🧵🧵🧵 #Sportslaw

After four Germans were arrested this week for allegedly spying for Chinese secret services, I was summoned to the MFA today. A quite telling move – but, after all, a good opportunity to explain a few things: 1) We do not tolerate espionage in Germany, regardless of (1/2)

Is the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC approaching a tipping point? This lecture is my take after researching this topic for over 30 years, & receiving the Alfred Wegener Medal of the European Geosciences Union for my research last week. Grab some tea! youtu.be/HX7wAsdSE60?si…

Our children are not guinea pigs for social media. I take note of TikTok’s decision to suspend the #TikTokLite “Reward Program” in the EU. The cases against TikTok on the risk of addictiveness of the platform continue. #DSA ensures the safety of our 🇪🇺 online space.

Statement on TikTok Lite: "TikTok always seeks to engage constructively with the EU Commission and other regulators. We are therefore voluntarily suspending the rewards functions in TikTok Lite while we address the concerns that they have raised."

🚨We suspect #TikTokLite feature to be toxic & addictive, in particular for children. Unless TikTok provides compelling proof of safety —which it failed to do until now—we stand ready to trigger #DSA interim measures including the #suspension of the TikTokLite "reward programme"

Net positive sentiment towards Poland among Ukrainians has collapsed from 92 a year ago to 26 now. The same polling indicates that blockades of the border by Polish truckers and farmers are the primary cause of the decline. For more, see our full report: bit.ly/3Ucxo7V

71… That’s how many people in the House of Representatives have held up Ukraine aid all these months, an action that has contributed to increased Ukrainian civilian and military death toll since January

The House resoundingly defeated an amendment from @RepMTG to zero out the funding in the Ukraine bill. The vote was 71-351.

The House has voted to approve unconstitutional, warrantless searches of Americans' communications. Now the Senate has too—late on Friday, after the media had gone home. Only the President can stop it from becoming law, and he won't—because he's the one that asked for it. 🦅🇺🇸
