1/ 🚨 Van anti-wegkijkwet naar windowdressing? De Commissie lanceert vandaag een voorstel om zorgplichtwet, nog geen jaar oud, uit te kleden onder druk v (fossiele) bedrijfslobby’s. Zo opent ze weer de deur voor uitbuiting & vervuiling: Bedrijven mogen weer wegkijken van kinderarbeid & milieuschade🧵

Maar na 1,5 jaar genocide, oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen menselijkheid: ❌ Schort EU Associatieakkoord met Israël niét op ❌ Géén beoordeling naleving art 2-verplichtingen ❌ Zelfs geen status-quo Maar verdiéping (!!!) vd relaties 🧵

This is a seriously smart column by @martinsandbu.ft.com on why Europe should be flattered by US administration attacks - because we do still matter, not least in offering an alternative model. www.ft.com/content/86ec...

I see a lot of desperation about German election. #BTW25 Let me provide a perspective from Trumpland: AfD will win at most 25%, which means that 75% do NOT vote for far right! That is still a strong democratic mandate. Use it to strengthen democracy! Don't empower the far right unnecessarily!

“De Amerikaanse importheffingen zuigen kapitaal uit Europa en de-industrialiseren Duitsland verder. Tegelijk wordt Europa verplicht om Amerikaanse wapens aan te kopen. Het gevolg is een Europees continent dat steeds meer een vazal is van de VS, zowel economisch als politiek”, schrijft Anton Jäger.

Ding ding ding! Watch this. He’s laying it out. My team at Stanford Internet Observatory documented this process meticulously, over & over again, in 2020. The R machine retaliated against us. When Elon bought X, it became even sharper. The rest of the political spectrum needs to get in the game.

Global data on public willingness to address climate shows much higher levels than you'd think if you look at what governments are doing on public's behalf www.nature.com/articles/s41... That said, I still think a lot of people are "functional climate change deniers" given their everyday actions

Westerse regeringen pakken graag uit met ‘democratische waarden’ en ‘mensenrechten’, schrijft Ludo De Brabander (Vrede vzw). Maar de holheid en selectiviteit daarvan blijkt al lang uit de weigering om ook maar iets te veranderen aan het beleid tegenover Israël.

Exempting the majority of companies from the carbon border tax #CBAM is a disastrous idea. European companies need a level playing field. Companies without environmental and climate regulations threaten to outcompete our companies. We cannot let this happen. (1/3) www.ft.com/content/c610...
