Nice short book by @CaroRackete touching #RefugeeCrisis & #ClimateCrisis:

"The Time to Act Is Now"

"It was not until I went to a meeting about climate change that I heard it was not god, but the rich people in the west who are doing this to us"

Feels so good to participate again in an in-person tech conference after so long 🥳

Almost 17M spent already since the start of the #UkraineRussiaWar from #EU states on #Russian Fossil Fuels. Indirectly funding the war.

"Three men are apprehended, put into a speedboat then pushed into the water while out at sea. Two of them did not survive." #Refugees

“I resisted, they beat me properly before throwing me into the water.”

#EU funded atrocities continue in #Greece

Big protest tonight in #Atthens, against rape culture and lack of justice on recent events of violence against women.

If you are wondering what's the "European Way of Life" (what an Orwellian title), the Commissioner in charge, M. Schinas, inaugurated two new #Refugees Concentration camps in Kos & Leros (#Greece). Both funded by #EU.

“A contrarian account of our prehistory argues that cities once flourished without rulers and rules — and still could.”

"When at last would you stop lying about the pushbacks? About what's happening with #Refugees in #Greece? Please don't insult our intelligence."

A journalist speaking truth to the Greek PM. Not easy to witness that in Greece, where almost all mainstream media are pro-government.

Resisting government plans for privatizing the forest, making plans for corporate economic growth in places where people want to live in balance with nature.

Protests today in #Athens by people living in areas hit by the summer #wildfires. Coping with the aftermath of complete state abandonment, resulting to rain floods this autumn.

“Greece’s lack of a strategic planning framework allows developers to license wind power projects many times over requirements, disregarding their impact on local habitats.”

“Make it a green peace!” was first uttered, in Vancouver, 1970. It's now been 50 years since #Greenpeace was founded.

"the unavioidable reality of climate change", said the Greek PM, while issuing permits for fossil fuel drilling.

"trees regrow", while allowing industrial investments in Natura regions.

"houses can be rebuilt", owner of 36 properties.

This is how (Greek) banks are implementing "3-D Secure". A pop-up asking you to enter your e-banking credentials, with no way to verify that is actually coming from the bank. @winbank_tweets in this case.

Interesting how "3-D secure" made phishing attacks easier than ever 🤦‍♂️

"Borders. Borders. Borders.
On Evros wall, on Aegean bottom,
lies every European's security."

#EU is considering new plans to ban #plantbased dairy from:

– have informative descriptions like ”doesn’t contain milk”
– use the same packaging as dairy products (eg. cartons)
– explaining the climate impact of food

We are very close to have the first hunger strike dead in #Greece. First one in Europe after 40 years (during Thatcher).

The most conservative and authoritative government of recent history, chooses revenge over justice.
