A year after the Uvalde shooting, neither Republican calls for more guns nor Democrat demands for gun control have served to address the epidemic of mass shootings in the US. The problem runs deeper than either party admits.
https://crimethinc.com/TheirGuns
Republicans don’t want to hinder gun access, because they see white vigilantes as essential to preserving the prevailing social order. Democrats want the state to have a monopoly on force, because they believe that this is the best way to preserve that same social order. Democrats have done everything they can to rehabilitate the image of police.
But as we saw in Uvalde, the role of police is not to protect—it is to control. Police don't prevent crises—they just determine who suffers in them.
What would the parents in Uvalde have needed to be able to address the shooting themselves, in defiance of the police? What grassroots institutions, what resources and skills? How can we foster those?
It’s horrifying, but we really have no better option.

Solar power investment overtakes oil for first time
The IEA said renewable energy is expanding faster than many people realize, but it warned that investment in fossil fuels is not slowing fast enough to reach goals to slash emissions by 2050.

Three years have passed since Minneapolis police murdered George Floyd. While politicians encouraged protesters to seek redress through the "justice" system, nothing could bring back his life, nor the lives of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, or any of the other people murdered by police in a structurally racist system.
The conviction of the officers who murdered George Floyd was an exceptional case aimed chiefly at pacifying an outraged population. Over the past three years, police have continued to murder Black and Brown people at the same pace.
What will it take to stop the police from killing?

This is the question we must all ask today.

Good idea: sleep enough
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22354-2
TL;DR: A study found that sleeping six hours or less per night at ages 50 and 60 is associated with a higher risk of dementia in later life. Persistent short sleep duration at these ages is also linked to a 30% increased risk of dementia, regardless of other factors. The study, which followed 7,959 participants over 25 years, suggests that short sleep (less than 7h) duration in midlife is associated with a higher risk of developing dementia later on.

Erdoğan's victory in the Turkish elections is another gain for autocracy in the Mideast and worldwide. We have to study the roots of Turkish fascism, understand how it relates to the steady gains of authoritarians around the world, and strategize as to how to stop them everywhere. Voting is not enough.

Atlanta Police and Prosecutors Target Legal Support Activists
https://crimethinc.com/AtlantaSolidarity2023
Seeking to protect their cash cow, Cop City, Atlanta police have arrested three legal support organizers connected to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, charging them with “money laundering” and “charity fraud.” This comes less than a week before Atlanta City Council will decide whether to allocate additional millions of dollars to fund Cop City.
This marks a new low for Atlanta police and prosecutors in their descent into totalitarian tactics. Since December, in addition to murdering one protester, they have pressed trumped-up domestic terrorism charges against practically every defendant they have arrested. Now, in order to ensure that defendants in the movement to protect the forest cannot get proper legal defense, they are attacking activists who help to raise bail and provide legal support.
We discuss the precedents and implications of this attack on all forms of solidarity organizing.

Aus dem Tagesspiegel Checkpoint:
"In Marzahn-Hellersdorf haben Sie die besten Chancen, eine Zombie-Invasion zu überleben. Das geht aus einer komplett seriösen Datenanalyse des Immobilienportals „Rentola“ hervor, auf die die prä-apokalyptische Welt gewartet hat. Untersucht wurde, welche Orte in Deutschland im Fall einer Zombie-Apokalypse am sichersten wären. Bewertet wurde das anhand von Risikofaktoren: Verletzlichkeit (hohe Bevölkerungsdichte, Katastrophenrisiko-Index und Co.), Versteckmöglichkeiten (Waldfläche, Wohnungsgrößen), Vorräte (Treibstoff, Waffen, Nahrung), Mobilitäts- und Verteidigungsangebot (Waffen, Militärstützpunkte).
Im Berliner Bezirksvergleich ist Neukölln mal wieder Schlusslicht, na klar. Hier überlebt man die Apokalypse mit der berlinweit geringsten Wahrscheinlichkeit. Gerade erst das Image als Corona-Hotspot abgelegt, könnte sich Neukölln zum Zombie-Hort entwickeln, ist mal wieder – Zitat aus der Analyse – „gefährlichster Bezirk in Berlin“. Falls Sie an Zombies glauben, ziehen Sie lieber um – aber bloß nicht die Stadt verlassen, schon gar nicht in Richtung Potsdam. Brandenburgs Landeshauptstadt schneidet von allen 402 untersuchten Regionen am viertschlechtesten ab. Wobei mein Potsdamer Kollege Henri Kramer berechtigterweise methodische Zweifel anmeldet: „Ich finde die Analyse schwierig, weil man in Potsdams Nähe auch das Militärhistorische Museum Flugplatz Berlin-Gatow hat, wo es großkalibrige Waffen und schweres Gerät gibt, um sich gegen die Untoten zu behaupten.“ Journalismus am Limit."
