Sweat, concealer and a little bit of but.

SHOCKING FACT: Our planet is drowning in plastic waste - over 400 million tonnes a year. That’s equivalent to twice the height of the world’s tallest building. We wouldn’t do this to our backyards - so why do it to Earth? 📷 credit: Made Visual

So rechnen Politiker*innen leider nicht. Wenn in einer Kalkulation zum Thema Verkehr kein "Geld, das direkt oder indirekt an die Autoindustrie fließt" vorkommt, gilt sie auf politischer Ebene als nicht valide.

In Straßburg gibt es eine der beeindruckensten Vorher-Nachher Transformationen, die ich je gesehen habe. 2018 wurde die Rue du 22 Novembre von einer Straße mit Parkplätzen in eine begrünte Fußgängerzone verwandelt. Das Ergebnis sieht wirklich schön aus❤️ Quelle: @modacitylife.com

Mr. Wopke Hoekstra the time for #ClimateAction is now. The EU’s climate ambition sets the tone globally. Watering down the #2040Target with "flexibilities" (aka loopholes👎) would send the wrong message and cost the EU far more in the long term 🫰 www.politico.eu/article/eu-e...

Die Bosse der großen Techkonzerne wollen gemeinsam mit Präsident Trump eine Welt zu schaffen, in der die Mehrheit verliert und von der nur sehr wenige profitieren«, so Wirtschaftsexperte Andresen. »Eine stärkere Besteuerung der Techkonzerne ist fair und weist Musk und seine Freunde in die Schranken«

Die neuste große Studie »Mobilität in Deutschland« unterstreicht–das Auto ist das dominante Fortbewegungsmittel. Wer das ändern will hat keine Lobby, keinesfalls würde die neue Regierung diesen Wandel bewusst gestalten oder ihm eine Richtung geben wollen.

Die neue Studie zu “Mobilität in Deutschland” zeigt: Selbst für kurze Distanzen setzten sich die meisten hinters Steuer. Von den Pendlern, die höchstens fünf Kilometer entfernt arbeiten, nahm etwa ein Viertel das Fahrrad, ein weiteres Viertel ging zu Fuß – 40 Prozent nahmen das Auto. WARUM?

Die Entwürfe von Union und SPD zum Klimaschutz gleichen einem Gruselkabinett. Jetzt braucht es Druck auf die SPD, nur sie kann Merz absolut klimaschädliche Ideen noch aus dem Koalitionsvertrag streichen. Schreibe jetzt den Chefverhandler*innen 👉 fridaysforfuture.de/spd-do-your-...

Click that photo of the capitol building (Denver, CO). A progressive political agenda that centers empathy -- care for people in our community and the planet - is the way to win and fight back against the cruelty of fascism.

Trump says he's not going to cut Social Security. Really?   Let's add up all the ways Trump is undermining Social Security, the most successful government program in history, in order to hand it over to his billionaire friends on Wall Street.   A thread:

Wenn im Jahr 2030 statt der erhofften 15 Millionen nur die nun zu erwartenden 10,5 Millionen E-Autos auf deutschen Straßen fahren (mehr Verbrenner bleiben), werden allein dadurch in diesem Zeitraum zusätzliche 31 Millionen Tonnen CO₂ in die Atmosphäre geblasen.

Elon Musk is a white South African, part of a demographic that for centuries sat atop a racial hierarchy maintained by violent colonial rule. That history matters. For all the attempts to describe him as a self-made genius, he is in fact a inseparable from his rearing in apartheid South Africa.

Merz is radically opposed to “anti-car attitudes” and policies seeking to limit automotive access in cities or repurpose parking spaces. His party wants to reverse the EU’s plan to phase out the combustion engine by 2035 — a move that would have major negative impact on air quality in cities.

Please listen to Bernie Sanders!!!

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason: They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer. These three men have become $232 billion richer since November. Not bad in a couple of months time!

Is the criteria to be an FBI agent swearing allegiance to the Constitution? Or is it swearing allegiance to Donald Trump?

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

BREAKING: We’ve WON a historic case against the Rosebank & Jackdaw oil & gas fields. 🎉 👏 NO NEW OIL AND GAS! 📣 This is GAME-CHANGING. And it’s ONLY been possible thanks to YEARS of fighting by THOUSANDS of climate campaigners! Power to the people. ✊

The recent progress in the so-called billionaire space race also put a renewed focus on inequality, with critics saying that Musk, Bezos and other billionaires should be more focused on solving problems on Earth than developing private space programs.
