Gewerkschaft: Generalstreik in Frankreich am 5. November

(October 21, 2026)

Frankreichs Gewerkschaftsbund CGT hat im Zuge der aktuellen Sozialproteste zu einem Generalstreik am 5. November aufgerufen. Bei einem „erfolglosen Treffen“ am Mittwoch sei Premier SĂ©bastien Lecornu auf die Forderungen der Gewerkschaften und der Demonstranten vom Wochenende in keiner Weise eingegangen, hieß es. Jetzt sei die Zeit fĂŒr Streiks gekommen. Das Land befinde sich in einer Krise, die soziale Lage habe sich fĂŒr eine Mehrheit der Bevölkerung klar verschlechtert.

Over 320 Jewish and Arab Academics Call on Public to Vote for the Joint List

Among the signatories are Prof. Amos Goldberg, Prof. Orna Ophir, Prof. Khawla Abu-Baker, Prof. Oded Goldreich, Prof. Nurit Peled-Elhanan, Prof. Oren Yiftachel, Prof. Yehouda Shenhav-Shaer, Prof. Gadi Algazi, Prof. Lior Sternfeld, Prof. Omri Boehm, Prof. Nitza Berkovitch, Prof. Marwan Dwairy, Prof. Raef Zreik, Prof. Yishai Rosen-Zvi, Prof. Gerardo Leibner, Prof. Avner Ben-Amos, Prof. Avishai Ehrlich, Prof. Itzhak Nevo, Prof. Dana Ron, Dr. Anat Matar, Dr. Efraim Davidi and Dr. Ornat Turin.

The statement reads: “We will not give up on a shared future: For equality, peace, and democracy, we will vote for the Joint List. We, academics, express our support for the Joint List and the principles it represents: full equality between Jews and Palestinians; recognition of Palestinians’ civil and national rights; an end to the occupation and the pursuit of a just peace; the struggle against racism and discrimination; and free and equal political representation for all citizens.

“We are living through a period in which racism and incitement are deepening, while the political space for Jewish-Arab partnership is shrinking. The war of annihilation in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, the abuse of prisoners, and the rampant crime ravaging Palestinian society all reflect a destructive policy.

“We seek to stand firmly against this policy and emphasize: There is no democracy without equality, no peace without justice, and no shared future without Jewish-Arab political partnership. We believe that the lives and futures of Jews and Palestinians are intertwined, and that only a joint struggle for freedom, equality, and justice can secure a democratic future for us all. We support the Joint List, its principles, and the struggle it represents for a better life for everyone.”

The Joint List‘s Platform: There is another way

The Joint List strives to change the existing political, social and economic reality, to fight the spread of fascism under the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, and to act to halt all Israeli wars – chief among them the war of annihilation against the Palestinian people. The list is based in principle on the political platform of the first Joint List (2015), and works to realise this vision through representing the national and civil issues of Arab society with head held high, without trading one for the other.

This vision rests on the essential connection between the national and democratic struggle and action for a safe life with dignity. Hence, we place the individual and their dignity at the centre of politics: we link the national and civil rights of the Arab public to social justice and peace, defend the security of our families and our homes, our children‘s education, our health, and jobs and a life of dignity, and act to translate our joint power into tangible change in people‘s lives. This is our platform, and these are the issues we will place at the top of our priorities:

From France to Italy, Belgium to Greece, student protests spread across Europe

The unrest is not being organised as a single Europe-wide movement. The grievances are different from country to country, but the concerns are strikingly similar. Students are increasingly questioning whether governments are putting enough money into education at a time when schools and universities are struggling with staff shortages, infrastructure problems and higher costs.

France’s student protests highlight a debt crisis that could spill over to the rest of Europe

Worries about a potential debt crisis in France boiled over last week, leading to a selloff in French bonds and a sharp rise in yields.

The spread between French and German bond yields expanded to its widest level since 2012. That difference in yields means investors are demanding much higher returns to hold debt from France compared with Germany, which is deemed a safer alternative.

The French bond rout has sparked fears of spillovers to other high-yield European debt markets, with some analysts drawing parallels with the eurozone debt crisis of the early 2010s.

Hold Your Nose And Vote

DeSantis is telling Republicans who are frustrated with their party’s candidates to vote for them anyway lest the DSA take the country “back to before the time of the American Revolution.”

Referring to GOP candidates as less-than-perfect, the governor insisted that the alternative is worse. State Rep. Angie Nixon, a DSA member, secured a major upset victory in August to become the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in November.

(…)

Fox News writer Amanda Macias announced that Democratic Socialists of America are “seeking to reshape some of the most basic features of the U.S. economy.” She then proceeded to lay out DSA’s core platform: universal healthcare, free public universities, student debt cancellation, a 32-hour workweek, and collecting higher taxes from the wealthy.

Macias’s framing of the benefits of socialism reads like the wish list of anyone who is horrified by rising healthcare costs while buried in student debt and working insane hours to keep their head above water. In the end, she asked the same tired question posed by so many critics: who’s going to pay for it all?

A new fleet of F-35s never draws that question.

India’s Cockroach Protests End as Modi Government Bows to Demands

Hundreds of thousands of these cockroach protesters had been assembling for over a month at Jantar Mantar, which is less than half a mile south of Connaught Place, the central market in the heart of Delhi. They were demanding the resignation of Pradhan, who is also a senior leader in India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, the party of Modi. The protesters at Jantar Mantar consider Pradhan to be responsible for failing to prevent “paper leaks”—the unauthorized release of highly competitive national college entrance examinations, often hours and sometimes minutes before the exam is due.

The Jantar Mantar movement emerged in May in response to a leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), the countrywide medical entrance exam. Reports suggest at least a dozen students across the country died by suicide after the tests were canceled.

Harvard files lawsuit against Trump administration

(April 21, 2025)

Harvard filed a lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration, arguing its freeze on research funding is unconstitutional and “flatly unlawful” and calling on the court to restore more than $2.2 billion in research dollars.

The filing, in U.S. District Court in Boston, requests that the court vacate and set aside the funding freeze to allow previously approved funding to flow and halt administration efforts to freeze current or deny future funding without engaging in procedures contained in federal law.

Harvard won’t comply with demands from Trump administration

Harvard on Monday rejected demands from the Trump administration that threaten $9 billion in research funding, countering that the changes pushed by the government exceed its lawful authority and infringe on both the University’s independence and its constitutional rights.

“The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights,” Harvard President Alan Garber wrote in a message to the community. He added: “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”

The Trump administration has threatened numerous colleges across the U.S. with funding cuts if changes in school policy weren’t made, and Harvard’s move appears to mark the first time an elite university has rebuked the White House over those demands.

Among the mandates in the administration’s letter are the elimination of Harvard’s diversity, equity and inclusion programs, banning masks at campus protests, merit-based hiring and admissions reforms and reducing the power held by faculty and administrators “more committed to activism than scholarship.”

“The purpose of the law is to threaten teachers and principals of Arab schools, to mark them and make them a target for surveillance and persecution,” the rights group stated, arguing that the tools already at its disposal before the current law were “adequate and sufficient.” “The law severely violates the rights to expression, employment and pedagogical autonomy of teachers and administrators,” it added.

Possible Eoarchean Records of the Geomagnetic Field Preserved in the Isua Supracrustal Belt, Southern West Greenland

(24 April 2024)

The preservation of a temperate climate and liquid water on early Earth depends critically upon the strength of the magnetosphere (Sterenborg et al., 2011; Tarduno et al., 2014). Recent atmospheric escape models have suggested that both weak (<10 ÎŒT) and strong (>1 mT) magnetic fields could substantially enhance atmospheric escape under present-day solar wind conditions via the polar wind or cusp escape, respectively (Gronoff et al., 2020; Gunell et al., 2018; Lundin et al., 2007). During the Archean, the Sun was rotating faster, generating a stronger stellar dynamo and therefore the solar wind was more intense than today (Vidotto, 2021). An increased solar wind strength causes greater interaction with the upper atmosphere and greater escape of ions assuming a constant level of protection from Earth‘s magnetosphere. Previous magnetohydrodynamic simulations have suggested that if Earth‘s magnetic field was half its present day strength 3.5 Ga ago, the area of the polar cap (the area containing open dipolar magnetic field lines, allowing atmospheric escape via the polar wind) could increase by up to 50% (Sterenborg et al., 2011).

The Earth’s Magnetic Field Is At Least 3.7-Billion-Years Old, New Evidence Shows

The age of the Earth’s magnetic field remains under question in part because we don’t fully understand what causes it today. We know it is a product of movements in the molten outer core, whose high iron content turns convection currents into a dynamo, and these currents in turn are produced by the solidification of the inner core.

25.04.2024 - 23:45 [ livescience.com ]

Earth‘s magnetic field formed before the planet‘s core, study suggests

(24 April 2024)

Today, the magnetic field is driven by the churning of the liquid part of the core and the transfer of heat from the solid inner core to the convective outer core as the former cools. But researchers think the core didn‘t solidify until about a billion years ago.

25.04.2024 - 23:40 [ United States Geological Survey ]

How does the Earth‘s core generate a magnetic field?

The Earth‘s outer core is in a state of turbulent convection as the result of radioactive heating and chemical differentiation. This sets up a process that is a bit like a naturally occurring electrical generator, where the convective kinetic energy is converted to electrical and magnetic energy. Basically, the motion of the electrically conducting iron in the presence of the Earth‘s magnetic field induces electric currents. Those electric currents generate their own magnetic field, and as the result of this internal feedback, the process is self-sustaining so long as there is an energy source sufficient to maintain convection.
