Guess what? Trump and Big Tech are rewriting global trade rules in secret. Here’s what’s at stake. 🔍

📢📨 Three letters. One message. We wrote to the @ec.europa.eu, @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu, @europarl.europa.eu & @eu2025dk.bsky.social asking them to stop exporting #pesticides banned in the EU. www.pan-europe.info/resources/le...

« Les marchands de doute sont de retour. » Dans une vaste publication, 85 climatologues de renom estiment que le rapport sur le changement climatique publié par le département de l’énergie américain, début août, est émaillé d’erreurs, de manipulations ou d’omissions www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

As @yessfun.com has reported, the fossil fuel industry directly funds anti-trans panic because it distracts the public from "the very real and ongoing risks that climate change creates.”

Stop toxic trade. Pesticides banned in Europa should not be exported to other countries. Toxic here = toxic there. Today 600+ organisations from all over the globe call on the EU to stop this violation of human rights.

Just as far-right forces crack down on civil society dealing with the climate, a new study reveals that lobbyists from the top fossil-fuel industry organisations had over 1,000 MEP meetings within less than a year.

The India-UK FTA incorporates a mechanism that would allow either party to renegotiate specific clauses if the other offers better terms to a third country through separate agreements, according to people familiar with the matter. www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/i...

🎉 Victoire citoyenne ! Ce 28 mai 2025, la Belgique interdit l’exportation de pesticides interdits ✅ Une avancée majeure pour la santé des agriculteur·ice·s du Sud global, l’environnement et les droits humains. 🙏🏻MERCI !!! Cette victoire montre qu’une mobilisation citoyenne peut changer les règles.

Outstanding news 🦪🐙🦀🦞🦐 A massive step forward in protecting ocean wildlife 👏👏👏

Examinée ce 26 mai par les députés, la loi Duplomb constitue un concentré de régressions environnementales, inspirée par l’agro-business. Le gouvernement compte sur les voix du RN pour éviter le débat à l'Assemblée nationale. Mon décryptage pour @bastamedia.bsky.social basta.media/loi-duplomb-...

2 pommes. Même rayon. 2 réalités. L’une a été cultivée chez nous, sous des normes strictes. L’autre ? Importée avec des pesticides interdits ici. La solution pour éviter ça ? Des #MesuresMiroirs. 🧐Nouveau rapport avec @cncd.be @entraideetfrat.bsky.social 👉 tinyurl.com/7rxjf7h7 #MesuresMiroirs

NEW: Two chemical agriculture industry lobbyists who President Trump chose to serve in his administration are working to block the MAHA Commission from targeting dangerous pesticides like atrazine. readsludge.com/2025/05/20/a...

Les agriculteur·ices veulent stopper la concurrence déloyale et les consommateur·ies ne veulent pas de pesticides interdits dans leurs assiettes. ➡️Les mesures miroirs protègent agriculteur·ices et consommateur·ices. ⚠️ Ne pas oublier les producteur·ices du Sud global ! shorturl.at/1xX4W

L'utilisation de la faim comme arme de guerre est une violation insupportable des droits humains et des principes humanitaires. L’Accord d’association UE-Israël doit être suspendu : son article 2 impose le respect des droits humains. Manifestation ce dimanche : www.amnesty.be/evenement/ma...

❗❗Important❗❗ As EU foreign ministers meet, the Netherlands requests a review of Israel’s compliance with the EU-Israel association agreement - highlighting Article 2 - Israel’s obligations under humanitarian law. In doing so, the Netherlands joins Spain, Ireland & Slovenia.

OPINION: Since Hamas’ brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel and the devastating war in Gaza that’s followed, EU leaders have issued countless calls to respect international law — but when it comes to action, the bloc has been largely absent. And its failure to step up carries serious costs.

As Musk steps back, experts say Doge cuts have harmed government services

La faim s'aggrave depuis 2015 ! Nous appelons le ministre Maxime Prévot, à faire de la lutte contre la faim une priorité. Investir dans l’agriculture diminue la pauvreté. L'agroécologie peut nourrir le monde mais aussi et préserver le climat et la biodiversité de tou.tes. @lesengages-be.bsky.social

Trump is a loser

This is an excellent piece. So far best analysis I've read on Trump's tariffs. Even if a 1st glance they don't look like, tariffs are clear extension of corporate power. They also seek to reaffirm the dollar hegemony over currency rivals. www.commondreams.org/opinion/trum...

Trump dangerously falsifies how trade agreements benefit US corp interests by global protection of intellectual property rights & investments (benefits bigtech), openess to US services & cheap imports of consumer goods, with no labour & food security & environment protection: much more than #Tariffs

Farm families earn more than non-farm families. Farm families are wealthier than non-farm families. If Americans are to pay high tariffs to bring back toaster-making jobs, farmers should bear their share of the sacrifice. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

@deanbaker13.bsky.social  on Trump's tariffs: a mix of tax hikes & manufacturing dreams? But they're regressive, hitting working-class Americans hardest. Understand the confusion and potential economic damage:

I’ve been in South Africa this week to learn about the impacts of the EU’s trade in banned pesticides on the ground This is Dina, who used to work on vineyards before her lungs were too damaged to continue working, and this is her message to EU policymakers

#Trump tariffs & trade tensions are expected to exacerbate already rising #foodprices, leading to higher grocery bills for consumers. "We are seeing the burden of food inflation by tariffs, trade, & at the same time, we have #climate -related shocks on the supply chain" grist.org/food-and-agr...

Les États-Unis demandent à l'Europe de fournir des œufs au marché américain en raison d'une pénurie / Trump avait promis de réduire le prix des œufs dès son premier jour de mandat, mais il a vu les coûts exploser.

🚨 BREAKING: Despite the many preventive arrests, 1400 activists are taking action against Cargill, the biggest agrifood company in the world. Cargill has a revenue of around 160 billion with 2,5 billion profit worldwide, of which 160 million in Belgium. 🤯 📷 1, @regardbrut @Johanna De Tessières 2,3

Des années 1950 aux années 1980, le remembrement a profondément transformé les paysages agricoles français en regroupant et en agrandissant les parcelles dans une logique de rentabilité. Mais cette politique s'est souvent opérée au détriment des "petits" paysans. ➡️ l.franceculture.fr/gdF

🚨 From UNFCCC to the World Trade Organization, border carbon adjustments #BCAs are a 🔥 topic in trade and climate talks. BCAs apply carbon costs to imported goods at the border to level the playing field, but their success depends on 6️⃣ key policy decisions. 🧵 1/8

🚨Breaking: EU Agriculture Vision goes rogue🚨 Commissioner Hansen fails to propose concrete policy actions to tackle the ongoing climate, biodiversity, and social crises, threats that endanger the livelihoods of millions of farmers. Read more here: www.birdlife.org/news/2025/02...

During today’s debate, the @EU_Commission once again claimed that the #EUMercosur deal will boost the EU’s economy. Yet, the Commission’s own study shows the economic gains from the deal are negligible. This weighs against the deal’s devastating climate impacts. #StopEUMercosur europa.eu/!Yv79dB

Today's debate about the toxic EU-Mercosur trade deal in the EU Parliament was more interesting than expected. I counted 35 MEPs who spoke against the agreement, 21 in favour, whereas the other speakers seemed undecided / having conditions in place which they were still analysing. (1/2)

🚨 Do you know what's happening tomorrow? The @europarl.europa.eu will finally hold a debate on the controversial #EUMercosur trade deal After more than 25 years of negotiations marked by a lack of transparency and democratic process, this debate is long overdue! A thread 🧵
