The FBI just froze the accounts of climate organizations under Trump’s orders, accusing them of “conspiracy to defraud the U.S.” Meanwhile, key EPA offices are being shut down.
Silencing climate action won’t stop the crisis—only delay solutions. Tragic.

Peatlands, which cover just 3% of Earth's surface, store 550 billion tonnes of carbon—twice as much as all forests combined.
However, some 15% of them have been drained for agriculture.
Protecting these carbon sinks is vital #ForPeopleForPlanet.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Thread - I've been thinking a lot about Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion lately, especially in the context of Musk’s role in dismantling the federal workforce through DOGE. It’s a perfect example of what Lippmann warned about over a century ago.
