Still, it’s shocking that Magyar’s centre-right party is the most left wing party in the new Parliament. The only opposition are the far right and extreme right.

Trust, Orbán and Russia were standing ready to contest it with all Trump’s best tried tactics. The enormity of the trouncing didn’t give them a chance, even he knew the writing was on the wall. That’s what it takes.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

😡Reason #38367 to hate fossil fuel companies… They are bankrolling the anti-trans movement.

80% of anti-trans organisations receive funding from fossil fuel companies or their billionaires.

Whipping up hatred is a tactic to distract the public from action on climate change.

Makes me proud to see @peopleandplanet.bsky.social publishing another University League - still one of the most impactful campaign actions I ever did when I created the first one back in 2007.

Still going strong holding UK universities to account for their eco performance & ratcheting up standards.

Industrial agriculture & ultra processed food is responsible for mass disease, 1/3 of global warming emissions, & mass destruction of nature. All while starving 2.8 billion people of access to a healthy diet.

The idea that we need more of the same (but better) is deeply troubling.

Evidence is abundant that #agroecology can produce resilient, healthy, abundant food while protecting biodiversity, carbon, livelihoods & soil.

Overcoming #hunger must be about providing access to food - not further industrialising the countryside (while BigAg profits).

OK folks. Day 2 of our @bsky.app adventure. We really want to grow and be part of a community of #foodsystems transformation thinkers, doers and supporters.

Are there some good starter packs to recommend?

Tackling the harms of ultra-processed foods Consumers need clear information to make healthier choices about what they eat


The FT misses the mark here. Tackling the harms of UPFs is not just about helping consumers exercise willpower to resist them. It requires government willpower to pursue stronger regulations on Big Food corporations and to counter corporate lobby power.

Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago.

We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better.

It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

The language of stakeholders “reduces the relationships between people & place to financial or economic transactions that ignore the cultural & spiritual significance of the land & the non-human species to which people are inherently connected… legitimis[ing] extractive policies”

The impact of language: rethinking the term “stakeholder” - Laridae A candid discussion of the process we are going through, as we rethink using the term "stakeholder" in our work.

“European settlers literally “staked” land to claim their ownership, displacing (or worse) the Indigenous people who originally lived there. These settlers have been described as “stakeholders,” and this association makes it an especially destructive choice of words”

“Stakeholders” and its conflicting meanings: a problem for cultural heritage studies? Chris McGlinchey

Looks like the gambling definition indeed came first. But it was later used in business and land acquisition.

“It would have been plausible to use the word stakeholder in the context of acquiring land originally inhabited by indigenous peoples.”

“Stakeholder” always felt a fishy.

An awful piece of jargon to make top-down exclusionary processes sound democratic.

Now I know why. The term has colonial roots: denoting a person who drove a stake into the (indigenous) land they were claiming as their own.

Cartoon showing a carnival attraction, where (white) people are standing in line to throw balls at a bullseye, which will cause a migrant family to be dunked in a tank with a shark swimming in it, while a man with a megaphone is egging them on. The balls are actually angry emoticons. A sign says 'The blame game'.

Look at this terrifying scene: happy, healthy animals running through co-located wind and solar energy farm cranking out clean energy in a grassy field.

I can see now why people would rather have a field of oil pumps and pipelines instead 🤦‍♂️

"Net" zero is the most self harming Pandora's box. Open by a slit and the lid gets blown off - just another excuse for more carbon "whataboutery" and foot dragging. Terrible for real #climateaction. And for human rights & communities' land rights too. #realzero

Opening up "net zero" was a Pandora's box. Open the possibility by a slit and the lid gets blown off - just another excuse for more "whataboutery". Damaging for the climate. And for human rights & community land rights too.
