On the whole, wolf restoration is not doing so well. We see a few advances, but many retreats. France has upped its potential wolf cull to 23% of its total population of about 1000 individuals; this is not progress. 🌍

The Commission has just announced they will immediately apply EU-Mercosur, following it's ratification by Uruguay and Argentina.
❗This is the first time a trade deal has gone into provisional application without the consent of the European Parliament ❗

An Atlantic Puffin stands on a narrow, rocky cliff ledge streaked with lichen and tufts of grass. Its black back and white chest contrast with the pale stone, and its bright orange bill catches the light. The blurred backdrop of steep coastal rock faces hints at a rugged seabird colony, one of the special coastal habitats that provide vital nesting sites for wildlife.
Which is why the habitats they fight to return to must be protected.
Weakening protections for key sites for nature would push our already struggling wildlife closer to collapse.
Yet the UK Government is considering doing just that.

🤯 The MEP Aura Salla, a former Meta lobbyist, will be leading the Digital Omnibus.
The Digital Omnibus already closely mirrors Big Tech lobby demands.
Now a former Meta lobbyist will be in charge of the largest roll-back of digital rights in the EU’s history 😳

Pesticides are becoming more toxic and just about every country is using more of them year after year, despite a UN target to halve the overall risk by 2030
“Oil companies purchased solar and electric vehicle patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels”

There are two black houses on a yellow background. One of them is on the top and turned up-side down. It has the text "No to demolition" inside. The other house is at the bottom and has the text "Yes to renovation" inside. Between both houses, there is the text "houseeurope.eu".
Approximately 1.3 million people are currently without stable housing in #Europe. Yet, we still demolish existing buildings, when we could transform them into homes of tomorrow. #housingcrisis

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Very foolish to ratify of the US-EU deal. Why not take what you’ve learnt this week, and start building independence from Trump and friends, rather than continuing to play his games?

Et ahurissant de voir que Metsola veut poursuivre l'accord à tout prix avant même de savoir ce que contient le deal sur le Groenland...
Pourquoi un tel silence sur cet accord aux conséquences bien plus graves que le Mercosur? Ouverture totale du marché UE aux produits industriels et agricoles US, dérégulations environnementales, 700Mds€ de fossiles US, 600Mds d'investissement... @aurorelalucq.bsky.social @marietouss1.bsky.social

Honestly boycotting the World Cup would be the most effective and probably the least disruptive of all of the options available to Europe. I’m not sure how you can send teams and fans to contribute to a spectacle designed entirely to celebrate a guy trying to invade your territory.

Je sais que beaucoup de français sont trop fainéants et politiquement à droite pour arrêter d'utiliser X.
Ils sont pas prêts à apprendre qu'il faut arrêter Google, Whatsapp, Insta, LinkedIn, etc.
Pourtant il le faut, c'est une urgence.
100% Boycott is the only way. 👇🏼

FT Column by Ed Luce: Second, adding Greenland to his column would be lucrative. Trump’s libertarian friends have been eyeing it for some time. Peter Thiel, who wants to set up crypto-empowered “network states” on undeveloped territory, has invested in Praxis, a start-up that aims to do just that and which has scouted Greenland. Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, was a co-founder with Thiel and Elon Musk of PayPal. Silicon Valley is awash with billionaires invested in one kind of networked venture or another. Greenland is high on most lists. Unlike Mars, occupying Greenland is doable.
Why Greenland?

Jean-Noël Barrot & @jnbarrot Suivre En confisquant le pouvoir au peuple vénézuélien, en le privant de ses libertés fondamentales, Nicolás Maduro a porté une atteinte grave à sa dignité et à son droit à l'auto-détermination. La France s'est engagée avec constance, notamment par ses actions de médiation, en faveur du respect de la souveraineté du peuple vénézuélien, dont la voix doit primer.
Quand @jnbarrot.bsky.social se décide à réagir à l’agression étasunienne contre le Venezuela, il commence donc par s’en prendre à ses victimes - puis ce ministre qui doit son poste au vol du résultat des législatives de 2024 se pose sans rire en défenseur de «la voix du peuple vénézuélien».
The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics.
It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.
Thinking of my New School friends whose programs have been closed (~30 of them), whose PhD programs have been indefinitely halted, and who are now receiving invitations to resign + accept severance payments — with the threat of 🪓 if not enough folks take the offer. A ✨-if-imperfect place ruined 😥
