While EU leaders call it #NextGenerationEU or #GreenDeal, we, the next generation, call it: #EmptyWords, mere #greenwashing, #lies. So, we green-washed the European Parliament. Maybe we didn't change their mind, but at least they now know how it feels like being greenwashed 🖌️💚

Stopped while doing their job, identified, taken to the police station, searched. This was the treatment the police reserved for three journalists who were covering an action by @UltimaGenerazi1, a movement fighting for climate change awareness through non-violent civil disobedience.
The ones stopped and taken to the police station in a patrol car were @fattoquotidiano contributor and videomaker Angela Nittoli, @Corriere della Sera photographer Massimo Barsoum, and freelance videomaker Roberto Di Matteo.
“We were stopped in the area of Via XX Settembre in Rome by several uniformed police officers and some plainclothes agents, about ten in total,” recounts Nittoli.

@SNB_BNS is blocking Orlando Carriqueo Mapuche leader & Mariana Katz Argentinian lawyer @serpajargentina to enter the AGM as shareholder delegates 🛑
This is nothing but xenophobic and a denial of democracy to hide #SNB investments in fracking #VacaMuerta #Democracy

#MarchAgainstBalochGenocide is under attack by the Islamabad police. Many of our youth have been arrested, & many have been injured by tear gas shelling and violence. Right now, we are being treated worse than animals. Will the world raise its voice for us against this barbarism?

Police violence against @coderoodrouge activists over the weekend and in general against activists is unacceptable and must be not only condemned but above all prevented!
Arrests of legal observers
Iike @ChrisSteenwegen and @EdgarSzoc in Antwer is totally unjustifiable!

José y Adán, dos doctores de biología, llevan más de 5 horas encadenados.
Sólo piden que alguien del @CACiencies salga a decir que esta forma de protesta es necesaria y justificada.
Hasta ahora no ha salido nadie para apoyar su llamada para frenar el #ColapsoClimatico.
#COP28
Dos científicxs están encadenado en la Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias en Valencia para denunciar el fracaso de la #COP28.
Llevamos 30 años de decepción. No podemos esperar que vayan a arreglar la #CrisisClimática!
Queremos una Asamblea Ciudadana permanente y vinculante ya!

The @derspiegel hit piece on @GretaThunberg (researched by 6!!! journalists) is sooooo much worse than even its critics are making it out to be. I can't go through the whole thing, it would take waaaay too much time. I'll just cover some parts.

EU&India: Let's reduce emissions
Also EU&India: Let's fly our top leaders 12800km to talk about how we can INCREASE air travel
FYI, in business class, that's 4t of CO2 emissions❗
There's a reason climate activists are blocking airplanes - and spoiler alert, it's not boredom.

Scientists and climate activists have crashed the #AIROPS23 private jet conference in #Brussels! These ultra-rich individuals and industries are fueling climate breakdown at the cost of the most vulnerable. We cannot afford to let them continue business as usual.

Quand la police arrête la plus brillante des militantes pour le climat, 4 fois nominée au Prix Nobel de la Paix, c’est qu’il y a un problème…
Soutien à Greta Thunberg et aux militant-e-s de #lutzerath qui luttent pacifiquement contre les mines de charbon. 💚🌍

Die Polizeigewalt heute in #Lützertah war unfassbar.
Hier werden @GretaThunberg @Luisamneubauer und andere von der Polizei geschubst - und die stehen da einfach nur friedlich rum.
Was soll das @Polizei_NRW_AC?!
Funding for new oil, gas and coal is fuelling the climate crisis & risking financial stability. If banks & insurers continue supporting reckless expansion projects they should risk their own money. @itinagli do you agree? Will you support the #OneforOne rule for fossil fuels?

On November 5th, hundreds of protesters from @NLRebellion and @GreenpeaceNL stopped private jets taking off from Amsterdam's main airport Schiphol.
Here is my illustration of the action.

We're asking for more repairable smartphones and tablets!
#RightToRepair
Hoe vraagt de #RightToRepair beweging om betere smartphones en tablets in Europa? Zo dus 👇🏽
Banks & insurers continue to fund new risky fossil fuel projects. If their reckless investments fail, we, the people, will have to bail them out. @itinagli, do you agree people should pay for banks’ mistakes? Or do you support the #OneforOne?
Waiting for some answers from @hadjalahbib & @zu_dehmir
L'Allemagne, l'Espagne, les Pays Bas ont annoncé leur sortie du Traité de la Charte de l'Energie 🔥
Un traité qui permet aux entreprises énergétiques d’attaquer les Etats sortant des energies fossiles 🏭
En Belgique, @MR_officiel et @de_NVA bloquent notre sortie ❌
