@bueti Im Ernst? Ihr könntet ja mal damit anfangen Israel’s Kriegsverbrechen, sein Apartheid-Regime und die illegale Besatzung zu verurteilen…Waffenruhe! Genau so wie es alle Menschenrechts-NGOs verlangen, inklusive israelische. In was für einer Welt lebt ihr eigentlich?

No matter who wins the presidency, Bolsonarismo will be very much alive in Congress and the Senate. If Lula wins, he is likely to face fierce resistance

[Fabian Wa 🏳️‍🌈 @fab_wa]

Even with #Lula winning in the second round, the damage is done. Lula’s ability to effect sweeping changes will be severely limited because of the political situation in comgress, senate and in the states 😞 #Eleicoes2022

[Fabian Wa 🏳️‍🌈 @fab_wa]

Even though #Lula is leading, this is a sad day for Brazil and the world. The far right is v strong and several of Bolsonaro’s closest and most disgusting allies have been elected to parliament and as governors 😞 #Eleicoes2022

[Jamil Chade @JamilChade]

Uma das poucas certezas desta noite: o bolsonarismo está estabelecido no Brasil.

Brazil former Environment Minister Ricardo Salles ⁦⁦@rsallesmma⁩ will be heading back to Brasilia, as he looks sure to be elected as a federal congressman. He presided over huge increases in Amazon deforestation.

Today, the 🇺🇸🇦🇪 led @AIMforClimate met to discuss a ‘quantum leap in ag innovation’ in response to climate change.

We set out 6 actions to ensure #AIM4C delivers innovation for workers set to face the worst climate impacts - those in #Africa 🧵👇

Brazil announced deforestation data for the Cerrado savanna - the world's most biodiverse - on New Year's Eve. While it may have gotten buried in the festivities, it's worth the attention: https://t.co/2mOJ6BciRu

Elon Musk was named TIME's Person of the Year.

He is the second richest man in the world and worth $150 billion, but:
▪️ Paid no fed income tax in 2018, per @propublica
▪️ Paid a tax rate of 3.27% (vs. 14% for the average person) from 2014-18, while getting $13.9 billion richer

Was, die AfD soll den Vorsitz im Entwicklungsausschuss bekommen?
Geht gar nicht! Der oder die Vorsitzende kann in Partnerländern viel Porzellan zerschlagen - bei Reden vor Parlamenten, in TV-Interviews, bei Treffen mit Ministern und Staatschefs. Das muss verhindert werden!

[Anna Cavazzini @anna_cavazzini]

The 🇧🇷Brazilian Senate's environment & agriculture committees will vote tomorrow on the dangerous Land Grabbing bill. If approved, the bill will worsen deforestation in the Amazon🌳! Such laws go directly against EU efforts towards deforestation-free supply chains. #GrilagemNão

This is how it should be done!

Greece will start fining people over 60 who refuse vaccines €100 a month, with the money going to fund hospitals fighting #COVID19.

Greece is 63% vaccinated and recently banned unvaccinated people from indoor places like gyms and restaurants after record daily infections.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

At #COP26 they are frantically seeking a compromise between our prospects of survival and the interests of the fossil fuel industry. But there is no room for compromise.

[SREnvironment @SREnvironment]

COP26 ignored human rights despite the UN Human Rights Council resolution recognizing the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment.
An absolute travesty that will fuel anger, protests + litigation. A stark failure to address the suffering of climate crisis victims.

Wo sind die innovativen Antworten der
#Ampelkoalition auf Flucht, Migration
und, damit zusammenhängend, das
große Thema globale Gerechtigkeit? Geht
es einfach weiter mit dem Ausweichen
vor den schwierigen Fragen und Abladen
der ernsten Konsequenzen auf die
Geflüchteten selbst?

[Fabian Wa 🏳️‍🌈 @fab_wa]

Wo sind eigentlich die progressiven,
innovativen Antworten auf #Flught und
#Migration im #Sondierunsspapier? Was
vermerkt wurde hört sich nach Weiterso
bei der. Externalisierung der europäischen
Außengrenzen und der. genau so
unmenschkichen sog.
"Fluchtursachenbekämpfung"
an.

[Fabian Wa 🏳️‍🌈 @fab_wa]

Fluchtursachenbekämpfung" ist
meistens nichts anderes als
Flüchtlingsbekämpfung vor Ort in Afrika,
wo Europäer nicht Hinschauen. Support
für Diktatoren, regional Zersplitterung,
Beschneidung von Freiheitsrechten führt
am Ende, gar zu noch größerem Elend und Flucht.
