MOB wil geen nieuwe fossiele industrie. Samen met ons internationale netwerk starten we vandaag een nieuwe rechtszaak tegen Ineos. De luchtvervuiling door de petrochemische fabriek van Ineos (investering € 4 miljard) gaat meer sterfgevallen veroorzaken dan er vaste banen zullen worden gecreëerd
Pollution from Ineos’s Antwerp plastic plant ‘will cause more deaths than jobs created’

The government reopening is the first domino to fall.

The release of the Epstein files is the next.

After that, one domino after another falls until the entire regime is no more.

Republicans know this, and are lying and delaying to prevent it.

They may slow it down, but they can’t stop it.

Rechter vernietigt vergunning van mestvergister in Achterhoek. De vergister draait gewoon illegaal door. Dit laat nog weer eens zien hoe diep de de agro-industrie ingevreten zit in het provinciebestuur van Gelderland. Saillant detail: officieel geopend door Maxima

Here we go AGAIN: Shell investeert 1 miljard $ in nieuwe olievelden in Angola. 😣

Terwijl de klimaatcrisis erger wordt, blijft Shell meer en meer geld pompen in nieuwe olie & gasvelden. Dat terwijl de wetenschap glashelder is: er is geen ruimte voor.

Genocide dreigt in Soedan. De Verenigde Arabische Emiraten leveren wapens aan de RSF in ruil voor goud.
Nederland moet wapenexporten opschorten, EU-handelsgesprekken stoppen en sancties steunen tegen de VAE. @partijvoordedieren.nl roept regering op tot actie:

For context, this is happening because Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan just "won" re-election after banning every other party from running against her and jailing opposition leader Tundu Lissu on treason charges.

So...yeah, solidarity with the Tanzanians on this one. That's for damn sure.
Tanzanians are marching towards State House. Enough is enough. 🇹🇿✊🏾

La principal causa de protesta és l'exclusió de figures clau de l'oposició, com el líder Tundu Lissu, qui roman a la presó sota càrrecs de traïció, i Luhaga Mpina, qui va ser desqualificat per tècniques legals.

2025 DUA Forum in Nairobi. Advocacy highlighted Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hon. Tundu Lissu. Dr. Besigye has faced arrests and military trials in Uganda. Hon. Lissu, charged with treason in Tanzania, seeks electoral reform after survival of assassination attempts. Trials are held behind closed doors.

"By putting her main rival Tundu Lissu on trial for treason and barring others from contesting the presidency, Hassan has crossed autocratic thresholds that other leaders have not. Activists have been arrested, brutalised or disappeared."

Tundu Lissu faces death row after disputed Tanzanian elections. Italian students remain stranded amid unrest. Africa’s democratic hopes dim as global silence persists.

'The party was disqualified in April after refusing to sign a controversial code of conduct and its leader Tundu Lissu has been jailed for months after being charged with treason.

Lissu had called for electoral reforms, which he said were needed for free and fair elections.'

HRF condemns the staging of a closed swearing-in ceremony for Tanzanian dictator Samia Suluhu Hassan today. Hassan declared victory with 98% of the vote in last week’s sham elections, with two major opposition parties barred from participating and opposition leader Tundu Lissu in jail.

Elke tiende graad opwarming raakt miljarden levens. De EU toont geen leiderschap met dit slappe 2040-plan. We hebben urgentie nodig: geen nieuwe olie- en gasvelden, bindende uitstootreducties en steun voor een rechtvaardige transitie. ✊ 🌍
