1/ Heute vor 5 (fümpf!) Jahren gab es das Gespräch vom #Klimakanzler #OlafScholz mit der #LetzteGeneration. Henning Jeschke hat in dramatischen Worten die Folgen der #Klimakatastrophe auch für die Ernährungssicherheit geschildert. Klimawissenschaftler, mit denen ich geredet habe, meinten damals, das sei nicht hilfreich, weil das total übertrieben wäre. Inzwischen kann man sich den Inhalt mit den selben Warnungen und der Beschreibung der Folgen in Videos von Oxford-Professoren angucken. Teilweise sind die Nahrungsengpässe Realität. Weil wir reich sind, können wir uns aus der Miesere herauskaufen. Aber das funktioniert nicht für alle und nicht beliebig lange. Das Treffen ist jetzt schon Geschichte. #OTD

The Black Panther Party was founded 60 years ago ✊️ From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary: "The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...] Second, the BPP offers a good model of grassroots activism and ideology in practice." https://jacobin.com/2016/10/black-panther-party-fifty-year-anniversary-founding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party #history #BlackHistory #BlackPanthers #BlackPantherParty #OTD #OnThisDay

Remembering the Black Panther Party

More than five decades after its founding, the Black Panther Party's antiracist, anticapitalist vision remains just as relevant today.
