After decades of criminalization, last year, Germany has finally legalized #Cannabis.
This does not stop conservative politicians, members of police unions or uninformed doctors to rant about the law.
They try their hardest to reverse it, in order to hunt and stigmatize innocent people again. 🖕

Public opposition against wind energy should always ring some alarm bells and it's worth taking a closer look.
@simonoxfphys.com once again uncovers dirty fossil fuel money and bogus lawsuits against clean energy, orchestrated by deceptive fossil fuel front groups.

I keep hearing Fake-News about Germany still being 'occupied' by the United States of America.
That's wrong! Germany is fully sovereign since the 3rd of October 1990 after signing the Two Plus Four Agreement.
US military is stationed because of NATO, not occupation!

Is the German media landscape racist?
According to this study, it sadly is, and often unintentionally.

Violent crimes committed by foreigners are covered in the media far more frequently than is justified by their share in police crime statistics, a new study has found.

I also want to focus on CH₄ (methane) for a second and quote from their (WMO) paper:
"It is critical to remember that unlike the case with CO2, anthropogenic sources of CH4 are not dominated by fossil fuel-related emissions; agricultural and waste sources
play the most important role"

We must urgently stop the destruction of our environment and getting off fossil fuels is one of the most important steps we have to take to fulfill the most important Global Sustainable Development Goals:

Forests become more flammable and hotter due to human interactions like deforestation, which - as many of you know - is mainly driven by our food-production (plant-based diets can help here). The increased temperature caused by climate change only makes things worse, it's a dangerous feedback loop.

Today, the @wmo-global.bsky.social issued a stark warning for our future: current CO₂ and other greenhouse gases are at their highest level ever, with the sharpest rise in 2024, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels and wildfires.

According to wikipedia, she also supports gay-marriage, the legality of abortions and the legalization of medical cannabis.
A women from the Global South, fighting with her life for democracy, seems like a good choice for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Maybe,some people are missing the point why she got chosen for the peace prize. She is a staunch pro-democracy voice, fighting against a cruel authoritarian dictatorship and paying for it with her freedom and safety.

I'm currently reading lots of criticism about María Corina Machado. I don't know a lot about her, but it should be noted that her rival, Nicolás Maduro is a far-left dictator, in power since decades, who likely rigs his elections.
It's not hard to understand her anti-communist, pro-capitalist views.

* not everybody has the possibility to grow at home
* social distribution of cannabis, like giving away your homegrown cannabis for free, is illegal

The current German government wants to forbid the prescription of #cannabis via telehealth and the shipment of medicinal cannabis. This would force many patients in rural areas back to the black market because of:
* backwards thinking or unaware doctors
* regional foiling of legal Cannabis Clubs

The EU decided on one of the most cringe regulations ever. It's not final,but plant-based alternatives to animal foods won't be allowed to be called "burger", "sausage", etc. anymore.
It's not about the consumers, it's about protecting profits of the cruel meat industry.

On Wednesday, the EU-parliament will vote on the 'issue' of food naming in the context of replacement products for animal-based foods. According to consumer advocates, there isn't any issue or confusion tho, it's just expensive lobby work by the meat industry. 😠
