It was never about free speech, but about controlling the narrative. A modern equivalent of burning books in the 1930s.

Musk is a threat to humanity.

As the COP29 climate meeting is reaching its end, it should not come as a surprise that yet another COP is failing. The current draft is a complete disaster. But even if our expectations are close to non-existent, we must never ever find ourselves reacting to these continuous betrayals with anything but rage.

The people in power are yet again about to agree to a death sentence to the countless people whose lives have been or will be ruined by the climate crisis. The current text is full of false solutions and empty promises. The money from the Global North countries needed to pay back their climate debt is still nowhere to be seen. The host country - Azerbaijan - is a repressive and authoritarian petro-state that has committed ethnic cleansing and genocidal acts towards Armenians. Civil society present at COP29 are being silenced, yet continue fighting and pushing negotiators towards the bare minimum.

All this while oppression, inequalities, wars and genocides all over the world continue to intensify. Those in power are worsening the destabilisation and destruction of our life supporting ecosystems. We are on track to experience the hottest year ever recorded, with the global greenhouse gases reaching an all time high just last year.

It is clear that our current systems are not working in our favour. The COP processes aren’t just failing us, they are part of a larger system built on injustice and designed to sacrifice current and future generations for the opportunity of a few to keep making unimaginable profits and continue to exploit planet and people.

With every negotiation, with every speech made by a world leader and with every agreement they sign, it becomes clear that it is up to us as a global collective to take the action we so desperately need and show where the leadership truly lies. They are not going to do it for us, as this COP29 yet again proves.

@olgatokariuk One for the history books, for sure. Unbelievable.

🎯 As I said a decade ago, if you think stopping Putin is expensive, wait until you see the price of letting him win.

@ArjaPaananen @kuistiala @DocendonKirjat Aloitin kuuntelemaan tätä äänikirjana Hesarin arvion perusteella, ja kolmasosan kuunneltuani voin jo suositella lämpimästi! Toiv. saamme myös käännökset muille kielille pian, sen verran tärkeä kirja kyseessä 👍

Yes, we live in a timeline in which the axis of three dictatorial totalitarian powers openly join hands to erase a 40-million European nation as Western decision-makers are still obsessed with making sure they are not crossing lines in helping it.

Elokapinan väkivallaton toiminta tarjoaa jokaiselle meistä mahdollisuuden pohtia, miksi Eduskuntataloon kohdistunut tilapäinen ja lyhytaikainen haitta aiheuttaa niin monessa meistä huomattavasti vahvemman tunnereaktion kuin ympäristön systemaattinen ja pitkäaikainen tuhoaminen.

2 ballistic missiles attacked Poltava today. 180 wounded. 41 killed.
Imagine you live in a country, where 9/11 happens everyday. This is what people undergo in Ukraine.
Why powerful democracies can shoot down Iranian missiles over Israel, but can’t do the same over Ukraine?

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

This is how I see it: the Biden administration won't lift restrictions on weapon use because a) they're afraid of Russian escalation, or b) they're afraid of Russia losing.

The former is not happening and the latter needs to happen for the world to become a better place.

[C Salonius-Pasternak @charlyjsp]

For f%$-sake, @POTUS and his “don’t escalate tripe” -clan know what to do but are mentally unable to switch gears:

Remove restrictions on long range strikes against war-relevant targets, and give hundreds of JASSM to 🇺🇦 + covertly enable strikes to airfields in northern 🇷🇺

[Toni Mikkola 🏴‍☠️ @virtaava]

A country that beheads enemy soldiers has no place in the Olympics.

A country that rapes and tortures soldiers and civilians has no place in the Olympics.

A country that is led by an individual that is wanted by ICC for war crimes, has no place in the Olympics.

A country that employs the mercenary groups Wagner etc in its war and gives them veteran status has no place in the Olympics.

A country that is responsible for the actions done by Wagner and other PMCs in its name has no place in the Olympics.

A country that deliberately targets children's hospital and double-taps it to hit the rescuers
has no place in the Olympics

Russia has no place in the Olympics even those Russians that would compete under neutrality have no place in the Olympics.

88% of all Russian medals at the 2022 Olympics were won by athletes representing the Russian army.

This is the reason I will not watch single Olympic event. #BoycottParis2024

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

When Russia conquers territory in Ukraine, it murders civic leaders and other civilians, sets up torture chambers, and deports children for assimilation in Russia. Ukrainians resist because defeat or surrender means Russian genocidal policy on the scale of their entire country.

@MariaOhisalo Kiitos kun ajatte yhteistä hyvää! ❤️

Samaan aikaan järkyttävää lukea näiden trollien vastauksia täällä. X on valitettavasti täynnä äärioikeistolaista vihaa.
