Heute wurde die neue Studie „Jugend in Deutschland“ veröffentlicht, bei der 2.042 Personen im Alter von 14 bis 29 Jahren
befragt wurden.

Die Ergebnisse sind krass. Und sie verraten viel darüber, was unser Umgang mit Jugendlichen anrichtet 🧵

He’s absolutely aware of it. As he is also aware that peddling this lie is a key tactic shoring up private sector hegemony.

Hunt claims that the government must never take the risk of running out of money. Is he not, even after all his time in government, let alone the Treasury, unaware of the fact that the government is the only agency allowed to create money, and can always do so? #Budget2024

@DanielaGabor energy efficiency/transition measure high up on the ‘to chop’ list I see.

@GeorgeMonbiot Great to hear, George. Excited to find out more. Any chance of a follow so that I can DM you about potential for this to be used in some pan European organising in the run up to the EU elections in June?

Protests erupted in Uganda today as students marched at the parliament of Uganda to call upon @TeamTotalEnrg and @GovUganda to drop Eacop, As Usual threats of arrests happened and one student is still under Illegal detention. We therefore call for his un conditional release.

Solidarity with students in Uganda who are fighting to #StopEACOP 🔥✊

@SpringIsRising @Chevron @exxonmobil @Shell @bp_plc @TotalEnergies @WarOnWant 200 billion, no? But yeah a shit load of money and I’d guess the handouts they receive in the form of subsidies is in to the billions

The Church of England has finally committed to divest from fossil fuels!

This was one of the first campaigns I ever worked on and it shouldn't have taken this long for them to do it. Grateful to the many many people who campaigned on this over the years.

Until we win it all.

@Suitpossum @mrtbollen Thanks so much for creating and sharing this. In Basel this weekend where the central bank governors are meeting for the BIS AGM and I hope to share the video at some point during the forum that we’re organising in parallel. #EndFossilFinance #PeoplesForum

HUGE win today for my @adfreecities & @badvertising11 colleagues as the Advertising Standards Authority finds its backbone & finally clamps down on big oil & gas company advertising greenwash 🙌👊💥 https://t.co/FhWUz4KAxC

@mac_puck @campbellclaret How are the likes of GB news using social media with snippets of their TV content, which obvs doesn’t have the same oversight? While the TV viewing figures may be less than impressive, I wonder how far it’s reach is on other platforms.

the most powerful climate report of the decade was published on monday, after 195 governments fought over the words in its summary for policymakers, and the only media allowed in the room just published its account of who lobbied for what 1/

@hannahfearn I believe this to be more coordinated effort from the ever shape shifting climate denial cult (aka the net zero watch/alliance and car lobby) which needs some big organising to counter (in addition to good comms).

[Counter Balance @Counter_Balance]

Great video by @Global_Witness & @JolyonRubs😆

Ironically, fossil fuel giants ARE getting extra handouts from the public. They're just getting them via @EIB for renewables🤨

Time the #EIB STOPPED financing companies investing in new oil and gas projects

Watch again: President @Lagarde on our resolve to bring inflation back to 2%.

🚨 NEW: Oil giant Shell has just recorded £32,200,000,000 in profit – the highest in 115 years.

Will we see its corporate executives named and shamed for being “greedy”?

Or does that only apply to teachers and nurses fighting for fair pay?
