🚨 Sinds het precaire staakt-het-vuren zien onze collega's & partners de situatie op de Westelijke Jordaanoever escaleren. Meer dan 40000 mensen zijn intern ontheemd, dit is de grootste gedwongen verplaatsing op de WB sinds Israël in '67 de Palestijnse gebieden bezette.

De meesten maken zich zorgen over de klimaatverstoring, maar velen weten niet goed wat doen. We kunnen het niet alleen oplossen, maar samen kan het wel, zegt klimaatwetenschapper Katharine Hayhoe
I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.

Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!

We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

Het stenen tijdperk eindigde niet omdat er geen stenen meer waren. Die veranderingen zijn er nooit gekomen door toedoen van presidenten, eerste ministers of CEOs van de rijkste bedrijven op dat moment. Het fossiele brandstof tijdperk zal niet eindigen tot wij, gewone mensen, vragen dat dit stopt
The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone.

Society has changed before at the scale we need it to today: but that change was never catalyzed by presidents, PMs, or CEOs of the richest companies of the time.

The fossil fuel age won’t end until we ordinary people demand it does.
BP shifts course, boosting fossil fuel investments and cutting renewables
BP said on Wednesday it would increase annual oil and gas investment to $10 billion, returning the focus to fossil fuels, as part of CEO Murray Auchincloss' efforts to boost returns and improve financial performance.

Door Israëlisch geweld vielen in Gaza: 45.000 dodelijke slachtoffers, waaronder 15.000 kinderen.

Minister Prevot: "Voor de opschorting van het associatieakkoord lijkt nog te vroeg."

Wanneer heeft Israël voor deze Belgische regering genoeg Gazanen de dood ingejaagd?
Hoog tijd voor echte daden!

This week, Israeli tanks rolled into the occupied West Bank for the first time in two decades as Israeli forces intensify operations.

Focused on the northern West Bank, the campaign is already the longest and most intense there since the Second Intifada.

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court.

This order effectively puts the US on the side of war criminals at the expense of victims of grave crimes seeking justice.

Tens of thousands of people remain trapped in life-threatening conditions in al-Hol and Roj camps in northeast Syria.

The US government’s suspension of foreign aid to NGOs operating in these camps is exacerbating life-threatening conditions.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people.

It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies.

In that sense, the system is working very well.

But it is not working for the average American.

We need Medicare for All.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
