Bonjour @PPouyanne , j’ai été très surpris par votre communiqué qui affirme que @TotalEnergies ne délocalise pas ses profits dans des paradis fiscaux.
Permettez moi d’examiner ici vos arguments un par un, en toute rigueur et en toute clarté. 🧵
West Bank, Palestine - We are deeply alarmed by reports coming out of Nablus today including that of Israeli forces storming Nablus Specialised Hospital, alongside clashes elsewhere in the governorate that have killed four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers.
These violent incidents in Nablus are not isolated. They sit within a wider pattern of Israeli raids, state-sponsored settler violence, the disruption of essential services, and mounting pressure on civilians and healthcare.
When armed forces enter a hospital, the impact is immediate: fear, interruption of care, delayed treatment, and added risk for already vulnerable patients.
The protection of healthcare facilities must be respected. They must remain accessible to people in need. It is unacceptable for hospitals, ambulances, staff, and patients to be targeted by violence anywhere in Palestine.

More than 500 people are feared dead after two boats carrying mostly Rohingya refugees capsized off the coast of Myanmar. This is a heartbreaking reminder of the increasingly desperate choices facing many Rohingya today. People do not risk their lives at sea unless the alternatives are even more unbearable. Decades of persecution, statelessness, conflict and severe humanitarian hardship have left many with nowhere safe to turn.
These sea journeys are always perilous, but the fact that they are happening during the monsoon season when sailing conditions are rougher than normal further highlights the risks people are willing to take to escape the dire conditions in both the Bangladesh refugee camps and in the Rohingya homeland in Myanmar’s Rakhine State.
Governments across the region must strengthen search-and-rescue efforts, ensure timely access to protection for those seeking safety and work together to end the cycle of neglect that continues to put Rohingya lives at risk.
“This should also send a message to the Bangladesh authorities and the international community to prevent forced repatriation. Conditions in Rakhine State are not viable for safe and dignified returns as people continue to flee the place the Bangladesh government wants to forcefully repatriate them to

Meta used AI to target workers with medical conditions for layoffs, according to a new lawsuit.
Twenty-six former Meta employees are suing, accusing the company of using AI that disproportionately targeted people with disabilities or workers who took medical leave in selecting people for mass layoffs.

Quand une forêt brûle, ce n’est pas seulement un paysage qui disparaît.
Ce sont des milliers de vies silencieuses : oiseaux, chevreuils, renards, écureuils, insectes… et tout un écosystème réduit en cendres.
N’oublions jamais les premières victimes des feux de forêt : la faune et la flore.
Merci et bon courage aux pompiers qui affrontent actuellement les flammes..

The critical thing to understand about this air conditioning debate is that fossil fuel companies should be held accountable for destroying the planet.
