🛢️🤔 Russia has been delivering crude oil directly to European ports for several weeks. This is shown by analyses of GPS data. This violates current EU sanctions, - FAZ

Tankers carrying Russian oil have been heading directly to ports in the EU for several weeks. This was the result of research by Greenpeace, which documented the program "Report Mainz".

This violates current EU sanctions. Russian crude oil transports by ship to the EU have been banned since March 2023. The transports mainly involved ships from Greek shipping companies, some of whose ships are classified as part of the so-called Russian "shadow fleet". These are tankers suspected of helping Russia to circumvent sanctions.

If you're even vaguely familiar with #RightToRepair , care about #ClimateChange #Sustainability and #PlannedObsolescence this is amazing news!

Credit where it's due ... thanks to #LouisRossman and many more for 10 years of work to finally have a major victory over #JohnDeere which was lobbying hard to stop farmers from having the right to fix their own property.

After ten years, John Deere FINALLY lost

Russians still enjoying American burgers and sandwiches as companies refuse to leave

After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, most major Western fast-food chains closed up shop, sold off assets, and exited the Russian market.

A small cohort of six American fast-food chains decided otherwise. The franchises of Carl’s Jr., Papa John’s, Costa Coffee, Burger King, and TGI Fridays have continued to operate, business as usual.

Climate Action ≠ Terrorism (Criminalization of environmental protection - It's not Terrorism) 

Climate Action ≠ Terrorism
(≠) = not equal to

In 2016, Jessica Reznicek took action to stop the construction of Dakota Access Pipeline by dismantling construction equipment and pipeline valves.

supportjessicareznicek.com/

In 2021 she was sentenced to 8 years in prison with a domestic terrorism enhancement.

In 2022 an appeals court upheld her conviction writing that even if the terrorism enhancement was an error it was "harmless".

Under normal conditions Jess would have been sentenced to 37 months, but the terrorism enhancement resulted in a sentence of 96 months.

This is the criminalization of environmental protection!

"You were always the wrong guy" #Quote #Xmen #Film series 

is from talking to about being a good guy and reassuringly "you were always the wrong guy"

This kind of fits somehow to today's world to accept people in trying to be themselves and whoever they are or work on balancing it out between the rest of them ...if people let them...

So in this I think we all on are different and should be appreciated for it rather than standardised or ignored...

💬 "You were always the wrong guy"... (and reliably that way he helps within the team)
