Austria is planning a "Students at risk" program for students from the USA and other countries - including support for changing one's studies to an Austrian university and € 1200 per month.
It's only for 50 students, but if this sounds interesting for you, keep an eye on this website (which has info on lots of different grants):

Here is a poem that I wrote many years ago. I did not remember it until I found it by chance in an old folder. But reading it brought me back to that morning in July 2016 when I sat to pen it.Cendrine Marrouat (Cendrine Marrouat - Artist)
The image depicts a vibrant scene of a cherry blossom tree in full bloom, with pink flowers covering its branches. The tree is situated on a city street, with several parked cars visible in the background. The tree's trunk is thick and brown, and its branches extend outward, creating a canopy of pink blossoms. The background features a row of buildings, with one building displaying a yellow facade. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. In the foreground, there are white columns, suggesting the image is taken from a porch or balcony. The overall atmosphere is serene and picturesque, capturing the beauty of spring in an urban setting.

this is a good example of how fascists coerce reality to fit their ideology, brute force their lies into existence--they slander minorities as incapable of social uplift and professional achievement, then use state power to purge high-achieving minorities from prestige professions to make that true

Kai Winding & J.J. Johnson = The Great Kai & J.J.
Since the last appearance of Kai Winding & J.J. Johnson, the pair broke up on good terms, and this is from their first reunion in 1960.
They're joined by Bill Evans (piano), Paul Chambers or Tommy Williams (bass), and Art Taylor or Roy Haynes (drums).
Classically RvG sounding, and very enjoyable.

@_psee It hasn't really sunk in yet. All the stuff going on with the supreme court ruling has really messed me up to be honest. It's turned something that should be joyous sour. Very bad brain times.
I'm going to try and focus on the personal things. When my aunt saw the new profile pic she told my mum that I look exactly like her. I’m not sure why, but that made me really happy.
A ‘globally significant’ bank of biosamples from a study into the immune effects of Covid vaccines is set to be destroyed, two years after the award-winning research project was defunded by the Queensland Government.
Intended “to better understand the short, medium and long-term impacts of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines in Queensland,” the QoVAX Safety and Efficacy Statewide Study boasted 10,000 adult participants across 86% of postcodes, both vaccinated and unvaccinated, generating over 100,000 biospecimens and 11 million data points.
“It’s a terrible example of research wastage and loss of a globally significant opportunity to realise benefits and generate knowledge through research based on the unique samples provided by the 10,000 Queenslanders who gave consent and participated,” Professor Davies, who heads up the Allergy Research Group at QUT, told Canberra Daily.

Why Trump’s Auto Tariffs Are Poised to Drive Up Car Prices

It's never been safe to oppose empire, but the rapid erosion of constitutional rights in the US has prompted a lot of reflection within our collective about how we operate as a public space where people are at risk for state surveillance. This isn't just a concern prompted by an accelerationist Trump administration—in recent years liberal cities have been paving the way for authoritarianism. We've seen Stop Cop City activists charged with felonies for handing out flyers in Atlanta and oppositional journalists prosecuted right here in Asheville. While these instances of "overreach" once felt exceptional, the criminalization of speech now threatens to become a pervasive norm at the exact moment that local police are dramatically expanding Asheville's surveillance infrastructure. From drones to AI-ready real-time camera networks, we face new systems designed to identify and punish members of our community.
This is a liminal space, dangerously situated between a lingering expectation of democratic rights and the reality of fascism at the door. It isn't a moment for retreat, but it calls for new conversations—some of which are overdue. To that end, we're offering a few recommendations for individuals who attend events at our space. This is motivated both by ongoing reflections on safety and the knowledge that events this weekend represent an acute surveillance risk.

5 RECOMMENDATIONS
💡 Use cash. Whether you're buying a book or making a donation at a fundraiser, paper money offers you the highest level of privacy.
💡 Leave your phone at home. There are lots of things you can do to harden the security of your phone (and you should do them!), but the best way to avoid being tracked is to not carry a tracking device.
Learn more about phone and computer security at privacyguides.org.
💡 Dress for (privacy) success! Our bookstore requires masking to safeguard community health, but wearing a mask—especially in combination with sunglasses, a hat, or hoodie—reduces the accuracy of facial recognition software.
💡 Walk, bike, or take a bus. Even if your car is too old to have built-in GPS, your license plate is a form of ID that's trivially easy for police and other bad actors to record. Bonus: skip the parking headache!
💡 Last but not least... Know your risks. Talking to police or federal agents puts yourself and others in danger! Even seemingly mundane interactions create opportunities for additional surveillance and intelligence gathering.
Learn more about navigating police interactions from the National Lawyers Guild at nlg.org/know-your-rights.

These tips are intended to address mass surveillance, not targeted surveillance. Individuals at risk of being singled out by the State need to take additional steps to protect themselves from harassment, arrest, deportation, etc. But even if you don't currently feel that mass surveillance represents a risk for you, developing intentional practices to protect your privacy will prepare you for the possibility of becoming more vulnerable in the future. Meanwhile, a security-conscious environment makes it harder to isolate and repress those who choose to take bold action in opposition to fascism!

BTW stavo pensando le manifestazioni violente vengono represse in quanto violente, mentre quelle non violente in quanto "resistenza passiva".
Dunque non è il modo della protesta che viene perseguito, ma proprio il fatto di protestare. Dovete da stavve zitti, perché io so io e voi no.
E la Costituzione? E i trattatti UE? Dov'è l'UE? Cosa dice di queste cose?

Think people of faith don’t care about the planet? Hundreds of congregations—and even global church leaders—say otherwise. From compost heaps to global climate summits, many faith communities are leading the way.
✅ Good News: Christian denominations around the world—Presbyterian, Nazarene, Catholic, Orthodox, LDS, and more—are planting gardens, switching to clean energy, and teaching & advocating for creation care.
⚠️ Not-So-Good News: Although nearly 90% of U.S. Christian leaders acknowledge climate change is real and human-caused, most aren’t talking about it. This creates a false impression among congregants that their leaders don't care.
💡 What You Can Do: If you're part of a congregation—or know someone who is—there are so many ways faith communities can lead on climate. From free toolkits and carbon calculators to global networks and youth engagement, I've got a big list of ways to start the conversation and take action this week.

I asked a woman at work if she thought it was a good idea that her husband drove from one end of the city to the other end, 4 times a day, because he went home for lunch - in view of our failing climate - she said "God wouldn't let anything bad like global warming happen to us".
They learn this shtick about being "the crown of creation" and everything on the globe is put here for humans to use.
Christianity is a very dangerous ideology.
