Parteireform?! Einerseits ein bisschen seltsamer Zeitpunkt dafür, gibt ja gerade durchaus inhaltlich relevante Fragen der Politik, andererseits beim starken Wachstum von Bündnis 90/Die Grünen nachvollziehbar, dass an einigen Stellen nachgesteuert werden soll.
Ich habe mir die Vorschläge des Bundesvorstands, die jetzt zur Urabstimmung gestellt werden sollen, mal angeschaut und erste Eindrücke aufgeschrieben.

The Harvest: Canada’s MAID Program, Eugenics, and the Commodification of Despair
When a state administers death as a healthcare service and then discovers the dead have commercially valuable parts, the question is no longer about dignity. It is about inventory. Something has gone structurally wrong in Canada, and the evidence is no longer ambiguous. In 2024, 16,499 Canadians died through the country's Medical Assistance in Dying program, accounting for 5.1 percent of…

Late in 2024, Elon Musk endorsed Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland. We document that after this, Tesla sales rose by up to 30 percent in right-leaning districts relative to left-leaning ones [..] Divestment in second-hand markets shows no partisan differences, consistent with resale requiring a larger identity cost from Tesla’s image shock than non-purchase. Our lower bound-estimate for the overall loss in Tesla sales is [..] worth at least €241 million."

Just as they did across the country, Latino voters in the agricultural heart of California shifted toward Republicans in 2024.
GOP leaders celebrated the multiracial coalition they called the beginning of a political revolution.
Now, there are signs that support could be swinging away from the Republicans once again.
This year’s midterm election — in California and beyond — may show that the Latino rebuke of political parties can cut both ways.

China produced almost 1,000 terrawatthour #windenergy in 2024 with an installed base of almost 522 gigawatt #windturbines and growing. Making it the 3th source of electricity after coal and hydro.
In the EU windenergy produced 473 terrawatthour in 2025. Making it the 2nd source of electricity after nuclear.
So much for #Trump's lies about windenergy.
