Best 'zuur' dat we dat nu blijkbaar niet meer kunnen!
Op NPO2 programma over de jaren 80. Zure regen. Dat kwam door te veel mest. Dus: “Overheidssteun werd omlaag geschroefd en de milieu eisen voor boeren werden aangescherpt”. En zo, met nog wat andere maatregelen, werd zure regen opgelost.
Gek hè dat we dit nu niet meer kunnen ?

5,000 Palestinians have vanished in Gaza in two years.
Families report them missing, detainees confirm their presence, yet no institution provides answers.

This is the hidden reality of an Israeli system erasing lives from official records.

Thanks, but no thanks. We don't want Amazon, Microsoft and Google to invest a trillion dollars in datacenters in Europe that will bring data of EU citizens within reach of Trump and will lock-in our digital dependence for decades to come.

We need to start building our own digital infrastructure.

Hulpdiensten zouden geen onderdeel uit moeten maken van het migratie-controle apparaat. Op deze manier gaan de meest kwetsbare mensen in onze samenleving alle hulp van de overheid vermijden.

Uit angst voor uitzetting durven veel ongedocumenteerde werknemers misstanden niet te melden. Terecht, blijkt uit onderzoek van OneWorld en @groene.nl. De Arbeidsinspectie werkt namelijk samen met de Vreemdelingenpolitie. Daarom worden ook de schoonmakers van Saints & Stars waarschijnlijk uitgezet.

“Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history.”

UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says nearly 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza have suffered life-changing wounds in Israel’s war – and almost one-quarter of those are children.

Trump is illegally attacking boats allegedly carrying drugs. He brags about being tough on drug dealers.

Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S.

You can’t make this stuff up.

If your doctor decided you needed an MRI (indicating concern about something serious) and you claim that you didn't ask why or what part of your body he wanted to look at, you are:

1. Really stupid; or

2. Dangerously detached from reality; or

4. Lying; or

Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.
The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

Het gedrag van Wilders doet me steeds meer denken aan dat van bv. randgroepjongeren: mensen die buitengesloten worden, gaan zich steeds meer misdragen omdat ze denken: als ik er toch niet bij hoor, doe ik waar ik zin in heb. Dit versterkt de uitsluiting, dus negatieve spiraal.
En dit is de reactie van de altijd hoffelijke man die een 1-mans partij leidt

Dit is echt groot nieuws: het wetenschappelijk onderzoek waarnaar door industrie, lobby, agro etc steeds wordt verwezen, om glyfosaat toe te staan, is officieel teruggetrokken. Omdat giffabrikant Monsanto grote invloed had op de inhoud.
