EU Disinformation review:
For russia, climate change is yet another wedge issue - to open cracks in public debate, then fill them with pro-russia narratives. They stir polarisation to piss EVERYONE off - to make us hate one another as much as they hate themselves.

It’s not “woke” to want due process.
It’s not “woke” to defend rights, uphold the law, or demand equality in education and opportunity.
It’s called democracy and if that offends you, the problem isn’t the word “woke.”
And now, I walk and I do so, peacefully.
