Europe is not being invaded by migrants, contrary to the claims of Donald Trump and his allies.

But it is facing an invasion of a different kind from the US far right, storming Europe’s shores with money, platforms, and personnel: https://t.co/QMhcQIzfrs

Europe has often called itself a global leader in fighting climate change, even promising to halt the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.

Yet now it’s dropped the plan, as part of a broader retreat from the green transition. https://t.co/9MwgRWSAcB

Ellen Meiksins Wood was one of the great Marxist thinkers of her age.

One of Wood’s most important contributions was to show how the coercive pressure of markets is specific to capitalism and point us toward the necessary socialist alternative.

The CAP remains, essentially, an elaborated fraud transferring vast sums of citizens' money to a tiny minority of mostly very wealthy landowners. With some of the money wasted on complicated ways of hiding this simple fact.

The current CAP is a swindle.
Much of the money goes to the richest landowners/farmers and is heavily skewed towards the worst polluters. Farmers engaging in the ecological transition are not supported. Fake green labels serve to hide the mess. Time to start anew @CHansenEU

James Baldwin was born on this day in 1924. Baldwin was many things: a brilliant writer, a trenchant social critic, a dogged activist. He was also an unapologetic radical.

Such a great piece by @ZiaWeise @MarianneGros95 @LeonieACater

Don’t say Green Deal anymore; so say Clean Industrial Deal

Is this CleanWashing? Well, the Greens voted for it.

Farmers protests across Europe seized headlines and hijacked the political agenda. But once the action moved from the streets to the negotiating table, who spoke for them? We profile power brokers claiming to represent farmers🧵https://t.co/rIXFWOPrtU

#Land grabbing may have disappeared from the headlines, but it continues apace driven often by ‘green’ and ‘#climate’ solutions. #LandGrabbing2024 in Bogotá explored the challenges. See our new @openDemocracy article and other links in 🧵below. @Peasant_Journal @RuthHallPLAAS
